How late are folks staying on Monday? Leaving at a noonish check-out time or staying late, or even leaving Tuesday?
I've tried looking at the site and links, but I can't find when Firefly-related stuff is going on.
I'm really going to try to make this. It sounds like lots of fun.

Last year I packed up the car on monday morning, checked out, and went to the con. hung out there through several panels and such and was there til 4, when things wrapped up. then drove home. I'm staying til tues this year. much easier.
Schedules won't be confirmed until later. they don't have their guests yet. Arriving Thurs and picking up a schedule to plan the Con, is usually what I do.
Always last minute changes

Just now noticed your SE Browncoat link. I've known so many people who've been disappointed when they couldn't get in to the Aquarium b/c they didn't have an advance ticket. The Alliance is great and I don't know if you've seen the play Peachtree Battle, but if you are in the mood for comedy with witty dialogue - you may like this group's work. They have shows at the Ansley Park Playhouse and Peachtree Playhouse. Peachtree Battle is supposed to end July 30th - it's been held over for a couple years now I think, but the upcoming shows sound fun. Some of the humor is Atlanta specific, but much of it is more generally Southern.
I had heard from some friends that there were massive lines at the aquarium, if they didn't sell out. And when I recently checked the website, it says they are decreasing the amount of people they let in at a time. Which I think is actually pretty cool. If you're going to have to make reservations anyway, at least you know you're going to get to see something this way.
And I haven't checked that group out yet, but it definitely sounds like something I would like. The fact that it's been held over for that long just cracks me up. Thanks for the tip.
And to pretend like I'm on topic or something...I usually leave Monday afternoonish. I only have a 2 hour drive home though. So if you're much further away than that, you might want to consider staying Monday night. I think the con "officially" wraps up around 2 or 3 on Monday. (I might be a little off. I never stay for the big "thank you for coming" panel)

The aquarium sounds nice and all, but unfortunately I won't be arriving til late Thursday at the earliest. But honestly, I'm there to meet all my shiny browncoat friends, so I don't think I'll miss the aquarium too much

That's great, I didn't realize the hilton still had rooms. Hyatt and Marriott have reported being full for some time now. Glad you'll be at the Party TRM.

I had alrady planned to go the Aquarium, and going with other Browncoats would be even better.
I should be in town sometime Thursday morning, and plan to stay until Monday night or Tuesday (I live 1.5 hours away, so the drive is not bad at all).
I also lived in Atlanta for 6 years for school, I know a couple of good places for food and strong drink if they are needed.
This being my first Con ever, I will definitely be asking everyone a lot of questions, so if I am getting annoying, just smack me or something. Tell me about this fan table.
Also, just noticed the SoutheasternBrowncoats link, will check it out and join when I am home and capable of viewing the page.

One day.
One mission.
One army of Browncoats.
On June 23rd, we aim to misbehave.

I'll add you to the list. We're getting close to the group rate, which means we save like 3 bucks. But being broke, I'll take it...
And ask away, D*C was my first con way back when and boy was it overwhelming. I remember standing there with my mouth hanging open. Of course I was 14 at the time, so it was bit much. But yes, no questions are annoying
The fan table is basically where we have things to buy and grab for free. We have auctions for baskets and big, somewhat unique items. All the money we make from the table goes to charity, this year it's the Al Wooten Center and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
We also try and spread the word of Firefly/Serenity to anybody walking by. We'll have flyers to spread around the hotels, or to take home with you to spread the word in your community.
People also use it as a meeting spot. It's always there and manned for about 12 hours a day, so it's a good place to catch up with people. We'll also have a board to leave messages on and to announce panels, get togethers, and anything else that strikes our fancy.
If anyone has ideas for what they'd like to see at the table this year, let me know and I'll see what I can do. I aim to misbehave, I mean please.
I'm done blathering now
