Nihao pard'ners,
Some news you might be interested in. With the changes brought upon the Firefly Shindig Friday night, the costume contest will no longer be part of the shindig. The costume contest will instead be held at 8:30pm Friday (Sept 2nd) in the Marriot at the SEBC Fantable. The judging will consist of Reannaremick and myself.
Their will be two divisions "Screen Accurate" and "Original Designs". The grand prize for each category will be a 1ft x 1ft Browncoat Flag. A third flag will be awarded to a "Fan Favorite". Runner-up prizes are being discussed though those are contingent on enough competitors showing up.
The contest should be over and give you more than enough time to get to the Shindig that starts at 11:30.
Costumes are not required for the Shindig, but are encouraged. Recruiting costumers at the Shindig for the parade is also highly encouraged.
Don't forget the muster for the Parade group is between 8:45am and 8:55am by the Hyatt Bar area / by the escalators. Immediatly following the parade, Cosplay.com will be hosting a FREE open photoshoot which I encourage all participants to attend.
Also, Friday August 26, I will annouce the two highest donors, from the parade group, to the SEBC. Those two souls will have the choice to either help carry the parade banner or the large Browncoat Flag that is being donated to us. I will be bringing a paint pen; all parade participants will immortalize themselves by signing the back of the banner.
Finally here's the latest count. 34 confirmed marchers broken down to:
Blue Hands(s) 2
Browncoat(s) 2
Companion(s) 1
Inara 2
Jayne 2
Kaylee 5
Mal 2
River 2
Simon 2
Wash 2
YoSafBridge 1
Zoe 3
? 10
Total 34
C'mon let's see if we can break 40! Only 18 days left till Dragon-Con!

Clarifications
* The costume contest is not mandatory for members of the parade group. I simply thought the costumers in the parade would naturally be interested.
* The photoshoot by Cosplay.com. As it is hosted by cosplay.com groups originating from the forum are being given priority before groups that are not from cosplay.com Photos of individuals is contingent on time issues. Therefore I invite all photographers who would be willing to their time to record the parade group and individuals before, during, and after the parade. [Its still free, and really if your a costumer/cosplayer, you need to join cosplay.com its worth it and is totally free].
BTW,I am also working to get a photographer as well
The location will remain as the Marriot lobby after the parade.

Nihao my fellow Browncoats and other interested parties,
I am proud to annouce that Radegund, editor of the costume section of Browncoats.com, will be accompanying the parade group and taking photos of groups and individuals.
I am also very proud to annouce veteran photographer James (Frameshot of fotki) will be our "shooter" for the post-parade photo shoot for any and all Firefly/Serenity cosplayers (to occur during cosplay.com's as not to completely overwhelm the generous Eurobeat King). James has been covering Dragon-Con for years as well as many ATL area events (most recently the Rollergirl's Exhibition bout) and concerts. You can access his public archives here: http://public.fotki.com/FrameShot/ and his previous Dragon-Con photos here: http://public.fotki.com/FrameShot/conventions/dragon_con/

I'm fairly sure my wife and I are already on the list, but I was surprised to see so few Inara's and Mal's. I guess that Kaylee is just too cute!

It's true! No power in the 'verse is cuter!
I'll be there to provide some marchin' music:
Ballad of Serenity
Saffron's Wedding Dance
Ballad of Joss
Hero of Canton (if I can sing it without slipping into Ballad of Joss--Curse that sudden but inevitable parody!)
On the Drift
Big Damn Trilogy
That should take about twelve minutes; I hope no one in the parade group minds hearing some of the songs twice. :-)
Also, these songs are in the bunch-of-mudders-belting-it-out-loud tradition, so feel free to join in on any lyrics you know.
And I hope all of you will join us for the Bedlam Bards concert at the Art Crawl on Saturday night from 8 to 10 pm in the Yukon room at the Marriott. We'll sing about outlaws, pirates, lost love, dragons, and possibly illicit sexual practices. :-)
And the rumors that someone at the show will know where to find the free food are totally false. The ducks fly at midnight.

Because I've got the DVD."

If you run out of music, my 7-year-old came up with a great marching chant the other day ... God knows where he picked it up, but he started doing the lyrics to "Ballad of Serenity" as a military march, e.g.,
Take my love, take my land
(take my love, take my land)
Take me where I cannot stand
(take me where I cannot stand)
I don't care, I'm still free
(I don't care, I'm still free)
You can't take the sky from me
(You can't take the sky from me)
Sound off
(1, 2)
Sound off
(3, 4)
We're Serenity's Browncoats.
(BROWNCOATS!)
The advantage to this is you don't have to know how to sing. Anybody can echo a chant!
