And then there'll be several locals.

Yay! Shindiggery!!

But I'll let Static have the beers.

Anyone know how to make purple punch?

I'm definitely up for shindiggery Thursday night as well. If it's only gonna be a few folks we can do something at my place (my condo is really small though), or we can hit a local bar.

Ash and Static, thanks again for all your hard work putting this together. Have you guys met yet to work out the final details? I'd love to help out any way I can since I'm local. If you haven't met up to iron things out, let me know if/when you decide on a time/place.

I'm sure your condo is bigger than one of those hotel rooms we all crammed into.

Not by much!! I could probably handle 10 reasonably comfortably, 15 max.

There is some talk on the ncfirefly yahoo group about having a firefly marathon for the Thursday arrivals. I think it's a shiny idea myself.

I did call the Ren faire people today and the receptionist said that the opening weekend coupons should be at Dunkin Donuts, Jersey Mike's, Harris Teeters, and Autobells, - even as far away as Raleigh.

She had no idea about when the ads in the papers would run.

There is also a brochure online : http://www.royalfaires.com/carolina/Default.asp?Page=73 which she was 90% sure would be acceptable - perhaps Static could verify?


I can easily print off a bunch but would hate to get there and be told "No Go"!

It looks like we're going to have 15 easy.

I would definitely be up for a marathon (though I'll probably miss most of it, being a later arrival). We'd just need to figure out where we can do it. If it's at the hotel, we'd need someone with one of those laptops you can hook up to tvs. If it's at someone's house, who's got a big enough place and is willing to cram that many people into their living room?

Oooh-idea! If we did it at the hotel, we could have different eps going on in different rooms and people could room-hop. Wouldn't that be fun? Like a progressive dinner, but with Firefly.


Flechette-good job girl! Now, who can stop by a Dunkin' Donuts and grab handfuls of coupons for us?

"I have nothing to say and I am saying it."

Who said that? I can't remember. Mark Twain?

Virtual prize for whoever knows the answer!!

I really don't have anything to say, I'm just trying to keep this bumped and I hate writing "bump".

Don't quote me on this, but I think Ash mentioned something about the hotal saying we could use the meeting room there for..well...meetings, and such. I'm sure the marathon would fit in the "and such" category. I also like the room-hopping idea. I don't know if my laptop will hook up to a tv or not. It's a tad old, but it will play dvd's.

Oooh, meeting room. That's great! I bet we can sweet talk them into it.

Where's Ash to confirm/deny rumours when we need her? I think I'll post the question about the meeting room to her on ncfirefly.

My laptop is supposed to be able to hook up to a TV, but I've never tried it. We have 2 DVD players in the house, why bother?

Just got a response via email about the ren faire--

The coupons on the brochure that can be downloaded from the web are acceptable - so I'll likely print a bunch off and bring em with me

Any idea how many will be needed?
