As the first 3 of these threads approach 200 posts, I've created a forth to reduce load times and attempt to summerize some of the information released in the first three threads.
Dragon*Con takes place in Atlanta, Georgia US on Sept 1-4. Current Firefly/Serenity Guests include Summer Glau, Adam Baldwin, and Alan Tudyk. There is of course more time for others to sign up, and as always, there's the potential for some to have things come up that require them to back out. A complete list of guests from other potential Sci-Fi/Fantasy interests and details on the Convention can be found here: www.Dragoncon.org
Sept 1-4 is a Fri-Mon con. Many of us plan to file in on thursday to secure event passes and rooms and begin sharing our time and getting to know our fellow Browncoats. We aim to misbehave.

The Hyatt is more or less the main hotel up front on the main street where the parade will be. Marriott is Directly behind it. Police tend to moitor and direct trafic for us at the area between for easy crossing of the street. there's also a connecting hamster tunnel over the street. The Hilton is directly behind the Marriott and is the main hotel for Gamers. I believe the main site www.dragoncon.org states the games(Role Playing/Collectable Card Games) will be there this year. Westin and Days Inn are about a block each from the Hyatt in different Directions. so it looks something like this:
Hilton
Marriott
.
Hyatt............Westin
.
.
.
.
.
Days Inn
There's a reasonably priced diner at the Days Inn and 'Beverage' shop between the Hyatt and Days Inn.
Marriot Goes 100 percent smoke-free, beginning in September.

Since we're continuing from the previous thread, let me reiterate that Buffy Prom is NOT a mandatory dressy affair. I was there last year in jeans. No, cords. And sneakers. Not dressy at all. There were some people in prom outfits. One couple had these swell rockabilly outfits on and were jumpin' and jivin' away. And there were a few people dressed as faeries and goth and whatever that had, like me, wandered in off the streets.
So, stop stressing about what to wear! If you wanna get all prettified, then so be it. If you can't bear the thought, then don't bear it.
Lissa: I can't wait to see the dress with all the stuff hanging off of it.

i'd like to get a general idea of what the hidey tower/loafer/serenitree crowd is planning on doing for that, so I can decide what to wear. I'm not stressing, just want to generally fit in with my "crew"
ya feel me, dawg?

Browncoats are always a wise fashion choice for "our" crowd, don't you think?

my current take on the input I've received is that most prefer to not dress up for it, unless we go as pirates. I think we were planning pirates for Friday, but we can shift that to saturday(if that's when the prom thing is)if everyone wants to pirate prom the night. could be highly entertaining. we can Sereni-Tree friday...

yeah, i think the Pirate prom sounds very good.
Now the problem is finding one of those corsages things (tracking device optional) that goes with my pirates outfit....
On a slightly different note, i need anopther list of British sweets (candy) that you folks want me to bring, and anything else that you want.
please note i've a limit of two checked cases!

Oh..I don't want to switch Pirate Day! *pout* Saturday is parade day, don't forget, so most of us will be all paradey all day.
I don't see why we can't just change back into whatever for prom. The website says it's at 10pm on Saturday. Just a thought, is all.

Well, Sounds like we'll stick to pirates on friday. As the prom is an evening thing we'll have a chance to get cleaned up first, and dress however you like. I only have the one pirate costume, so I'll likely just do regular dress. there is no dress code, so go as you like. My wear will depend a great deal on the temps.
I'm not parading.
