If you want to break a record and participate to the most remote Shindig to date, come to the Shetland Shindig!

Meet some flans! Have a little adventure! Watch some Firefly! Speculate about the movie (no spoilers from those of you who have seen it, please)! Eat some fresh Bao (I’m learning how to make them)!

Also: I will have been to the Starfury convention in London a month before. Photos, epic tales of browncoats, wacky anecdotes about our BDHs, and other goodies will be awaiting!

When: 28-29 May, it's unlikely it will change, but it's still a possibility.

Where: Shetland Isles. It's North of Scotland (UK) and a one-night boat trip away from Aberdeen. Here is a link for the ferries:

Why: Good times!

So far 2 people are coming. Everyone is welcome, of course. I’m currently in France, but will be leaving for Shetland in 10 days. I’ll be able to update this information once I’m there. For those who wish to come FREE ACCOMODATION available, for a limited number of people: I'll tell you when I've actually seen where I'll be living for the next 6 months.

Stay shiny!

You have NO idea how much I'd love to come to this. Unfortunately, neither me nor my Shetland Sheepdogs (Connor and Skye) will be able to fly across the Atlantic to attend. *sniff*

Now this is TOTALY unrelated, and for that I apologize, but Shetland Ponies don't come from thereabouts, do they?

No need for apologies, cause you bumped my thread when I couldn't Gorram dial-up nightmare.

Shetland ponies do come from the Shetland Isles. I expect I will be seing lots of those around :-)

I posted a picture of a flyer for the Shindig. It doesn't tell you anything useful, but who cares, it's pretty!

Probably can't make it to your shindig but have a great time. I've visited Shetland twice and you guys really know how to shindig!

When I first saw this thread on the main page, I thought that it couldn't possibly mean the Shetland Islands and figured there must be some place in the US called Shetland. But I have now read the thread and realised the error of my assumption.

It's great to think that Firely appreciation is spreading to the furthest corners of the UK. Best of luck with the Shindig. Alas, I'm far too lazy to contemplate travelling that far, but at least I've given you a bump.

It`s the French, they`re invading

Petit_Rhino is a french girl, give her credit, this will take a lot of doing to organise and if she can get sheep to see Firefly there`s hope for the BDM in November

There`s got to be some Scotish up for a wee boot ride & perhaps a few Northerners who can make it that far - we West Country Farmers don` reckon our tract`r will make it up there far.

Have a good time though

Yes, I'm French and I'll be spending 6 months in Shetland. I'm planning to convert half the island while I'm there. That's something like 10,000 people. And I'm not counting the sheep!

There's already 1 person coming to the Shetland Shindig (other than me) and maybe a second one... I plan to have fun, be there 3 people or a dozen.
