I was so excited yesterday when I went to your website and found out that you attend Louisiana RenFest! I was so excited that I called my close friends and they already knew. I wondered how I missed this petinent information from you at dragon con. Well, when you were informing my friends of La RF, I was watching Josh, Male Companion do his interview with Jeremys ppl. So I just found out and I wanted to let you know that I am very excited about dragging friends to see you this year!

Hey, ShinyGoddess! It's good to hear from you.
Alas, we won't be doing the Louisiana faire this year . . . We're just not in their budget--which was strained even before Hurricane Katrina devastated the area. Fortunately, the site sustained only minimal damage, and the faire will open this year. So far as I know, all of our friends from NOLA got out before the storm hit, though some cast members have lost their homes.
Please go support the faire even though we won't be there--it will need the support this year. And if you happen to mention/send letters/stuff the suggestion box with our name, that'll let the management know you'd like to see us there in the future.
P.S. I apologize if my stuff has hijacked this thread. It was never my intention.

Team Zissou learned that if you leave your friend alone for two seconds with a Jayne hat on he gets to go drink and party in a private room with Jewel and Adam and the doctor from Atlantis.
Errrrr darn you Biller!
Shiny!
Yes, I was pretty drunk. I believe Jayne would've been proud ('cause I was still standing and apparently making a little sense). I remember talking to that black gentleman with the mohawk. To give him credit, he listened to my whole long explanation and, as he was leaving, said, "Right on man! Right on!"
Friday night I had just left the Shindig (official Browncoat D*C gathering/dance). I was wearing my newly aquired Jane hat (hand knitted by a lovely lady at the Firefly Fans/Browncoat Table and standing out by the pool area of the Hyatt when Adam Baldwin came up behind me (and my friends) and said, "I hear there is a shindig around here somewhere!" So after the must picture opportunity, I guide Mr. Baldwin to where the shindig was being held. On the way there we were informed of a party on the 19th floor. Mr. Baldwin said to me - "You up for a party later??" I believe "Oh Yeah!" was my reply...but I had a few drinks already in my system and I might have just dumbly nodded. Anyway, after a spell at the Shindig (and another drink) we head to the elevator of the Hyatt. By this time the crowd around Adam kept growing and getting anywhere was more and more difficult. Arriving on the 19th floor and finding the room number, we head inside. First thing Adam asked was, "Is Jewel here?" and someone leaving replied, " I think over near the bar." Well her husband Matty was at the bar and he pointed me in the direction of the couch on the far side of the room to where Jewel sat next to Paul McGillion from Stargate:Atlantis. They had recently filmed a episode of SG:Atlantis together. I tell Jewel that Adam is here and was wanting to talk with her. The rest of the evening (well...morning..it was kinda late/early by this time) I spend hanging out with them. Then all walked back from the Hyatt to the Marriott (where we all were staying), said our goodbyes at the elevators, and I went and crashed.
Highlight of any of my Dragon*Cons so far...

Hey XYON!
I remember you! I was out by the Hyatt pool area Saturday having a beer and a cig and you told me the story and showed me your cell phone pictures. I remember how happy you were when you said to me "I made a drink for Jewel!!!" I also remember being so gorram envious of you! Way to be in the right place at the right time wearing the right hat. Good for you!

So this is what I learned:
Never let BC1 tell you what room number to go to for a party! He can never remember!
(You still rock, though! *hugs*)
I meant 2014.
Did I mention I am still in the post Con funk?

Yep, I moderate over at Jeremy's board. Just a plain ol' poster/regular here.
Unfortunately we did not get to meet this year. We will have to make a point of meeting next year.

ShinyGoddess - You are more than welcome to stand on the chair at our table anytime! Always glad to help out a fellow browncoat!

Oh! That was bracing. They don't like it when you shoot at them. I worked that out myself. ~Mal

Cedric, are you about 5'10" long bushy beard and wearing a broad brimmed hat and registered on Friday sometime around 3? If so I was standing in line very near you and enjoyed your music very much. It made waiting in line so much more shiny.

Make sure you're sitting down, ladies. I'd hate for you to swoon and hurt yourselves.
I didn't really get to meet many Browncoats at DragonCon, as I was there with 20+ other member of our Lord of the Rings fan club ( www.partyintheshire.com) and I mostly stuck to that track.
The good news is that the Browncoats in our club have passed around our 3 DVD sets and recruited at least 8 new people to the cause. :)
Next year I'm thinking DragonCon will be 70% Firefly/Serenity and 25% LOTR (with 3% eating and 2% sleep, up from 1% sleep this year). And I'm determined to find every Browncoat party!!!
Many thanks to the Southeastern Browncoats for all their work staffing the fan table and running the Shindig. You all did a great job, especially the older gentleman, whose name I forget (sorry, sleep deprivation!)
