Is there nothing being arranged for a Maryland event? We have lots of potential sites, ranging from the busiest theater complex in the US (Muvico Egyptian 24 at Arundel Mills near BWI, over 300K customers a month) to the Senator in Baltimore (genteel, old-school theater) to the Cinema & Drafthouse in Edgewater.

If no one else is looking into this, I'll have to take a peek I guess...




There isn't anything that I'm aware of. But I just think it would be fun to get down to NC and have a huge gathering of browncoats at one theater. Plus, I've never been to anything like what Static helped plan, it's just for fun.

Though, if fans in MD were to do something the second weekend it was out, I'm game.

OK, No liquor bad. I'm all about the Ri-Ra, if it's anything like the one here. I vote for Ri-Ra as the after the theatre refuses to show Serenity again party place.

What is the statis of this event? Is it a go? I can not wait. I will be going to DragonCon so if any of you other North Carolina people are going to be there maybe we should meet up.
Shiny!

I know,its still a few months a way but I've done a bit of online research and it appears that the Best Western is the cheapest of the 3 nearby hotels. (Which is good cause I don't think there's going to be a whole lot of sleep that weekend).
I was just wondering if it is in walking distance of the theatre? Right now plane tickets are insane so the less money I have to spend on hotel and other things the better!
Ok, who else is getting really excited?

Hey Xanderlharris,
I'm planning to attend D*C though I've yet to get tickets and crash space. I got cheap space last year but had to drive a bit each day. I'm in NC and just found out that no one(of my friends) that went last time is going. I still want to go so maybe sharing the drive wouldn't be a bad call, depending on your location. I'll be departing from Charlotte, right off 85 and heading down Thurs. so as to go ahead and get tickets and be there for Friday morning. what are your plans?

I have to be there Thursday to help get the Walk of Fame set up. So I will be leaving Thursday morning. I am staying at the Hyatt on the second floor. Don't know which rooms yet but I think it will be a suite right next to the Con Suite. The Con Suite is the best place to get free food and drink. Once I know what room I plan to have a party or at least a get together. I will post later and look for me at the Dealer room or the Walk of Fame further in.

You are right the Best Western seems to be the most reasonable but it is nowhere close to the movie theater. The only motels near the theater are way to expensive and too far away. The reason for this is NC State. The college is just to close. I could be wrong but I Googled and saw no other hotels nearby. The Best Western is right near the mall so that says something. You could get a bus to the theater but I do not know how you would get back. Maybe if enough people stay at that hotel, the hotel would allow a van pickup to and from the movies. I could pick up a couple of people and go that way but that would be limiting. I just don't know.

Like I said as long as the hotel is half-way decent and inexpensive I'm not picky. Best Western looks like the best bet room rate wise. Unless someone else has found somethng that I haven't yet. If enough people are interested in staying there I'd be willing to contact the hotel and ask about a shuttle service. Maybe we can get some kind of group room block discount? I'm not sure how many are planning on attending from out of town, but let me know I can give them a rough estimate of potential guests and see what they can do.
