We're having a pre-Orlando BDM premiere shindig shindig at my house this weekend with many of the Florida Browncoats, and this will be one of the topics discussed. I'll let y'all know early next week what we came up with.



Looking forward to the announcement Csteinme. If it is going to be held in Atlanta as the voting indicates, I will need to get to work on a Shindig outfit for the Ball.

Anyone know how to work one of them webcam-teleconferencing things? We could shindig all over, and it would sort of be like we're all together... sort of...

I'm gonna sock away some money for Dragoncon. Is it usually in the same hotel? If so, what hotel? I think I'm going to go over the top and attempt to book a suite and host a party room.
Doing it the easy way ... not so much.

Dragon Con is held in the Hyatt Regency:

and the Mariott Marquis:

Most of the functions are in the Hyatt, with the dealer room, art room, and overflow going into the Mariott Marquis.

I heard that renting a suite for parties or viewings is ranging around $1500.00/night. That is the figure that was tossed out by the organizer of the Browncoats table at Dragon Con this year when the subject came up. Not sure if he is planning on booking a suite or not.

I hope to see you there Knibs.

So (and if I'm dense, you can tell me) are we doing the Browncoat Ball in Atalanta in sorta conjunction with Dragoncon this coming year?

I haven't heard anything official from Csteinme, but that is what the voting indicated to me KayleeFrye.

I told Jewel and her hubby Matt about the Browncoat Ball and that it might be held at Dragon Con next year. They seemed excited about the idea.

Well, I'm really late, but I definitely vote:

A) I like the Dragon Con / Browncoat Ball idea - Let's shindig!!

This was my first year at Dragon*Con, and I was AMAZED at the Browncoat turnout. It's only going to get bigger next year.

...still a little whimsical in the brain pan...
