ahem...the official term now for a Firefly-oriented convention type gathering (no matter how big or small) is Shindig.

I am quite proud of this term as I coined it...instead of calling it a Con, its a Shindig...obvious reasons.

hehehe

Thanks Lux for mentioning the Vegas Shindig!

Still it's a good line up.

If ya have a look in the Jan issue of SFX you'll see an announcement for Fusion, with Jewel being mentioned.

Sean said that they had 'jumped the gun' and had announced earlier than he'd planned.

Small world Huh Lori, Good to see you say Hi to Dan for me...) I like your Firefly page by the way.


Also... I can kill you with my brain...

Yes, it is a small world.

Dan & I split up 4 years ago and I haven't heard from him in about 3 1/2 years - which is why Tachycon folded. He owns it now, but isn't doing anything I don't think. I may be starting a new show in the near future though :)

BTW, what is your name? All I see is your nick and am sure I'll know who you are once I hear a name :)
