Oh, and I'd kick myself for not asking. Anyone going from the Bognor Regis/Chichester/Littlehampton/West Sussex in general area??

Okay people, listen (or read) carefully:
I'm making a poster to give to the BDH at the con. For those who haven't heard of it, it's here:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/sunroomitem.asp?i=3416
You can still join in the fun (send your autograph at flanatic_flo@yahoo.co.uk) until the deadline next Thursday. The poster is pretty packed with signatures already, but I'll try to include everyone send their file in time. That's not a 100% promise, but a 'I'll do my best' promise. 
The poster is not only for the BDH, it's also for the browncoats to have a memento of their friends on the forum, or just of the happy family that we are. I'm printing it soon and will bring extra copies of the poster (A2 size) to the con for those who wish to have one. If you do, please tell me! I'll have to charge you for the printing cost (I can't afford to give them away), which should not exceed £5 per poster. Alas I don't have the final price yet.
Thank you for putting up with my constant babbling about this project

Flo, when you say you'll have posters at the Con: Are you going to have a spot in the Dealer Room?
I'd love to buy a poster but am worried in advance about transporting it home. Probably would be best to order the thing from you and have it show up in a mailing tube.
BTW -- Should I even ask if you folk want to get together for Whedon-theme sing-alongs at the Con, or does singing usually erupt spontaneously a few hours after the drinking starts anyhoo? :-)

No I won't have a spot in the dealer room. Since the poster is made from already existing material (the icon picture and the central pictures), I don't think I'm allowed there. If you don't see me, cafepress will be easier, of course. If you have a tube at home you can bring it with you though.

You can find sing-alongs all the time, especially about 3 o'clock in the morning. I was at one con where the singing didn't stop until breakfast at 6. I feel very sorry for the bar-staff, they deserve medals!
It has even been known for the con dances to happen with no music, only sing-alongs - fantastic!
I really should get me a signature

Emma, Zol and Maladjusted:
Thanks so much for your responses. They were extremely helpful. I’m having a hard time reigning in my enthusiasm at this point. Every time I open my mouth the words “___ more days” comes out before anything else.
One more favor to ask…
Is anyone going out to the Thistle and then back into town (near Paddington) after the disco’s, and would they be willing to let me hitch a ride? I’d love to help pay for gas or whatever. The transpo stops at midnight and I’d hate to pull a Cinderella act and leave the disco’s early. Please let me know.

Sorry to take so long to reply!
As I live in a college town (Austin) and a state that produces innumerable brands of beer and wine (Texas)- I don't think I would fly across an ocean just to party.
Which was sort of my point.
I'm flying to England for this con because it's in England. If I wanted to go just to meet the people from the show, I'd have attended a con in the states. Therefore, I need to see England while I am there. Also, I really wanted to meet other fans who would excuse moments of embarrassing geeking out over the genius of Firefly. It’s very hard to share a laugh over Jane’s HI-larious hat with people who ask “Jane? Which one is she?” 
You know?

Hi everyone,
Haven't posted here in a while but with the con fast approaching I thought I'd better send in a wave...
I'd definitely be interested in coming along to any meetups that may be happening as I'll be there on my own and obviously want to meet as many other fans as possible. It's one of the biggest parts of a large event like this. I'm a seasoned con goer (including past Starfury cons, although not for a few years) but this will be my first Browncoat event.
Anyone else coming down from the West Midlands? I am travelling from Kingswinford, near Dudley, on the coach and am currently scheduled to get to Heathrow about 17:30 on Friday, although as they screwed up my booking I am going to try to change that to arrive a few hours earlier. I'll be there for the whole weekend and at the meet and greet on the Friday night.
Hope to meet some of you at the con. Don't worry, I'm a Kaylee fan, so I must be nice! 
Regards,
Ade
