Clueless in Germany.....
Saturday, October 16, 2010 10:30 PM
Y'alls Dorkfish recently opened her big mouth on the FB page of a certain fan-produced movie set in Our Beloved Fandom and loudly announced:"I wish there was a Shindig in Germany."
To which Dorkfish received the all too obvious answer:
"Organize one."
Doh me!
Naturally, they are right.
Just is... I an't ever been to a Shindig, therefore have no Idea where to start.
But as I am living where there is also the biggest US Military Community outside the US, I am pretty dang sure, there is one or the other Browncoat among them.
I recently got back in touch with one "Project Rudolph", that prepares little baggies with candy, christmas ornaments, letters and stuff to hand out to deploying soldiers passing through, so that might be a starting point. You know, like arranging a screening of the BDM up at the hospital.
I just need to get my big rear end in gear and moving and find out, if it seems as good an idea to the people that need to be involved (I'm a local national with no connections to the military, so I need massive amounts of help from them) and we're going to have us a mighty fine first-time shindig.
Why am telling y'all about this??
Nerves.
I'm too scared to grab the phone and make that first call to the Rudolph-people because they might say "Nope, fuggedabout it, we're the wrong people anyway, all we do is have candydrives and pack baggies to hand out. It's a dumb idea, anyway."
Of course, they also might say "Yes!", since the whole thing is mainly to show support to the troops and such.
And the honest desire of a little dork to know she ain't the only one Browncoat in the land of Lederhosen and Sauerkraut.
(Wait, that's Bavaria.... I live in a more westernly direction....the southwest of Germany is my corner)
But if I want to find out if there are any German Browncoats, I'm all on my lonely own.....
Because there's the chance that even with advertising, I'm going to end up sitting all by my lonely self at some location, wasting money I don't have to rent it for that day, with movie-showing-gadgets, possible decorations, maybe refreshments or whatever I am supposed to have (never done this kind of thing, so I don't even know what I need and what not) and not a single soul showing up.....
Prolly wish the Reavers would get me to spare me from the embarrasment....
Oh wow, that feels very, very good to have off my chest!!
And where better to do so than here??
I know way too many people that would not have a single clue as to what I'm on about, therefore raising the level of frustration to heights I have never experienced before.
And a frustration is very, very damaging to my (mostly non-existent) calm.
I think I'll go now and watch the BDM and get me an eyeful of Cap'n in his skivvies. **squeee**
Love ya, Browncoats!!
y'alls Dorkfish.
