I learned:
-after 6 years of working on some staff or another, it still hasn't lost its fun.
-Browncoats are indeed the shiniest group around.
-where to buy a Jayne hat, and about this website (this is a nod to a very drunk, large man named Rob. You taught me this while trying to explain to a large black man with a mohawk what the hat was about).
-That Firefly fans are not just everywhere, but some even managed to make it into Serenity as extras.
-That tracking down Adam is nearly impossible if you wait til the last damn minute.
-That the Klingon population is dropping, but is being taken over by the Browncoats (thank God, I think this might save us from SOME of the funk).
-Con funk can be controlled by the power of AC. The colder it is the less a gamer can sweat.
-the stairs will always be sticky come day 4.
-Dcon is indeed better when drunk, but can't be beat on sleep dep.

Hello fellow BrownCoats!
~ I learned that male companions ( and let me restate this opinion from earlier. Yes, ladies, he was a thing to behold.) have a frat secret on where they keep their change when wearing only a speedo and a fancy scarf! 
~ That there are parties after midnight. Next year I will know.
~ What masq. party? missed that one too.
~ That we have to get a room at the Hyatt or Marquis so we dont have to walk 20 mins to our rooms.
~ Sleeping in shifts is good for a group of 7.
~ Dr. McCay, who attended our friday night shindig, and yours truly got to talk to him.. isnt scottish atall. but still very sexy. *sigh*
~ The Shindig host considered me TROUBLE, now where did he get that idea?
~ There are way more browncoats than I thought there were.
~ Wondering why a klingon didnt try to kidnap me.
~ That a klingon running around in a housecoat claiming to be on vacation is quite HighLarious.
~ Ace Bandages can be made into a costume if strategicaly placed over the important regions.
~ That C3PO is currently a bobble head toy.
~ Luke Ski exists and is very very funny. He also sings a song on his CD titled A man named Jayne. Yes, ladies n gents, its about our show! Firefly~
~ That browncoats need to keep up with their raffle tickets and check back at the SEBC table to see if they won. I had about 6 tickets and only won once at the last minute raffle. LOVE THE CD!
I enjoyed meeting everyone. I'm almost as bad as our Adam at remembering names. I am from Baton Rouge, La. And appreciate Adams donation.
You guys are great!

Best drinking game ever.
My face is so dry my skin is flaking from how dry it was. It's awful.
Sure was! Just goes to show how many times browncoats say "shiny".
We will have to do it again next year.

As much as I wish that were true all the time, it seemed less so this year than last year. Still, my wife & I had a great time. Hope all the other browncoats did as well.

Next time we play the shiny drinking game, warn me first. So I can say it more
Fremdfirma- Thank you for designing smart wings! I enjoy fairy costumes, I really do. I just hate inconsiderate people, and the fact that you designed politness into our wings gives you shiny brownie points. I say we start a revolution. Only smart fairy wings are allowed from here on out.

- Leto_V
Ain't that the truth. Adam gave me the guy hug & back slap twice and both times I had to brace myself so as not to get knocked down.
Still, being able to get a back slap from Adam, regardless of how hard, beats any show of affection & familiarity from any star in the 'verse.

That was Joe, the guy that runs the Con Suite. Pretty funny guy. We converted him into a browncoat last year. That was supposed to be his blue hand costume, but he forgot his gloves. The strawberries was a nice touch.

- 800 people singing the first part of "The Hero of Canton" after Adam started with "Jayne... The man they called Jayne..." was something unbelievable.
Loved it!

- You get the Bedlam Bards separately, singing ditties about "Wanting the Trilogy" or "The Hero of Canton" to people waiting in line.
If you liked those, you should have heard the song they did in the Yukon room of the Marriott about the episode "Out of Gas". It was heart wrenching. I love that song & it is NOT on the gorram CD!

I loved the Strawberry Guy! He was hi-larious. I was trying to walk past him when he just took a strawberry and popped it into my mouth. I wasn't expecting that!
And Wren-consider yourself warned for the NCBDMPP-you say shiny, you take a drink!! So practice working into your everyday conversations!
And the Bedlam Bards were fantastic, weren't they? I really enjoyed listening to them and the "Out of Gas" song was great. I think they're eventually going to have enough songs to do a whole Firefly Filk album. I'd buy it!
Oh, did everyone see the thread about Watson? He was on a podcast interview during D*C. It's very amusing.
