I know that the Buffy track will have some of the people. Here is the link for that:

But for Firefly itself I do not know what the schedule is at the moment.

Ok. Let the shamless plugging begin.

Yep D*C rocks! I've been going on and off since high school. About 10 years now. But be warned. It is huge. When they say 40,000 people, they mean it. And they all congregate in the Hyatt loby :lol:

On to the plugging. The Southeastern Browncoats are hosting a fan table. It will be in the Marriot between the art room and the exhibitors hall. We are also having a mighty big shindig, details still being discussed with the con
bigwigs. We are also trying to get a big group together for the parade on Sat morning.

We will need help staffing the table all weekend. It has to be staffed all day (till people stop coming to that area) everyday of the con. We also need help with the Shindig, ie money and materials. If you check out my sig, I've got links to the SEBC list and our website. There's not a ton of info yet, because we are still working out details, but trust me, we need the help.

Now to pull this back on topic The group of people I met in Charlotte was the best. They had a great time and merily went with my insanity. Never have I led a group of 200 strangers in song, and pretty much all of them joined in! Except that time I was in the Rocky Horror Show, but that doesn't count. teehee

You guys are the best, and I would love it if ya'll could come to D*C. I know we would have a blast! No baked goods required. Although I wouldn't turn them down

yes, the Fan Table last year was great. WickedWren and others of the SE Browncoats at the Charlotte Screening mentioned it's planning for this year. Last year there was a TV or a computer set up to show clips and stuff. Hopefully that's planned or In the works this year. Details from those in the know?? I'd love to see something like that set up to play the trailer and/or fan vids on a loop. Tzegha and others have made some great vids. and last year 11th hour and others had some great flyers and a cool Kaylee postcard.

Last year the BDHs stopped by the table on occassion, the walk of fame...Heh for the 3 that were there last year the line was so big they made us wait outside and took us in a few at a time. With Joss and 5 BDHs....
Autographs and such last year were $20 each star. they have PAs(personal assisstants) with them that that will collect $ while you chat and get Sigs.I Understand that's normal.

I checked the D*C site and the only tack info they have just has Firefly listed under TV Sci-FI. Last year Firefly was bigger than most everything there, it really needs it's own track.

We've got a projection setup planned this year, if we can wrangle the equipment. No matter what, there will at least be a laptop showing clips and the trailer.

I think the plan is to talk to 11th hour and some other creative folks, to see what we can come up with. I have a stack of things that the people people at Inkworks gave me to distribute (wow, those people are nice ), and we'll see what else we can come up with.

It's going to be fabu!

Cool, do you have or need the fanvids? I've seen some great ones that I think would get those who are infamiliar with Firefly interested.
Inkworks, Promo cards?? cool. I like cards.

I'm not sure what vids we have or are getting. I'll ask at the next meeting, which is July 9th, I think. And I'll report back with my findings.

And the stuff Inkworks gave me are those cards I was handing out at the screening. Which I really like, 'cause they are eye catching and have a lot of pertinent info on the back. They mentioned to me that the promo cards for the series would be coming out soon and to keep my eyes open for them. So we'll see what develops on that front.

*sniff* must have missed them at the screening, hopefully they'll be some left at the con. Can you scan and post the card front/back for those who didn't see them? Anyone who got one?

How did I miss you? I own no scanner, sorry. But I have about 5 pounds of the cards earmarked for D*C. I'll be sure to save you one They look like oversized postcards. Movie logo on the front and the back is divided like a post card with the release date, official website, and inkworks website.
