Anyone bringing nametags?

So's we can ID each other. Screen names don't pop up each time we say something. It kinda doesn't work so nicely in real life like it does in here.

It'd be nice to see who's who from the site. :)

Got a definite yes from mom and a friend. So I'm set for three filled seats for Saturday, plus we're hitting the Browncoat Shindig beforehand at 10. Working on more people.

Count me in. Hope to see y'all there.



Oh, HappyBrain, if you only knew! Some of the finest folks I've ever met have been the ones I've met at the big PA Shindig within an hour of Philadelphia, which took place Columbus Day weekend, both in 2004 and 2005. The incomparable MyOrangeHat and her family were our hosts, and we had a BLAST.

I've sent notice to some of my PA Shindig pals about the midnight screening, so I hope you'll get to meet them soon.

Unsuccesful in draging anyone else along. So it will be just one for Saturday nights shinding. Looking forward to meeting the rest of you Browncoats.

This is awesome! My wife and I are recent converts to Serenity/Firefly. In fact, I knew nothing of the show until I saw the Serenity trailer before Batman Begins (I think!) - I thought, I have to see that movie! Then somehow we managed to miss it in the theaters. We hadn't even seen the show yet. I downloaded a few episodeds on Bittorrent, then SciFi started showing them, and we were hooked. Then I had to wait for the movie to come out on DVD, which santa brought along with the Firefly DVDs and comics. Shiny!

Anyway, we'll be coming in Friday from Downingtown, PA (only about 30 minutes west). In fact, we've unloaded the kids to various sleepovers, and are getting a room at the Radnor Hotel for an early Valentines weekend getaway. I can't wait!

Hey Flans!

Look fwd very much to meeting you all this weekend.

One thing I forgot to mention... the theater is an old one in a town center, so NOT a multiplex... therefore parking is a bit different, but we do have PLENTY of spots!

Basically, we have a deal with the local bank and they let us use their lot after 5pm - which is right next to the theater.

Go here:

http://www.brynmawrfilm.org/3policies.htm

and look at the map...

I just know a lot of you are driving from far away and I don't want you to drive an hour and then go, "Crap, where do i park?"

Late at night there should also be lots of street parking...

But look at the map above for free, easy parking next to the theater - right off bryn mawr avenue!

And yes there are signs in the lot saying they tow, and no, they won't after 5pm...

I aim to misbehave... by parking.

- Ben

Actually I think that's a great idea. Or maybe at least stating FFF.net or something so that we know who's from the site.

Hitting the mall today.

I'll look for nametags. I'll be going to the Saturday Shindig, so please find me there with the tags.

And pens. Wouldn't do to have blank tags. :)
