Wow. I will be looking forward to seeing that outfit!
Seems we all have tons of things to keep us busy until then.

For costumes, I have Mal's red-shirt outfit, Dread Pirate Roberts, and a Rohan-esque armor to match the wife's full armor. I am going to try to be at the Wash-wake, and I am pretty sure the wife will be coming with me to the Buffy Prom. I don't really have an agenda for the weekend (save the parade) as this is the first time I have attended a D*C...I'm just looking forward to meeting all the Browncoats!

You aren't alone with projects still to do...
I'm wearing hair up in french knot, white gloves over the elbow, black velvet-fitted and straight line with spaghetti straps-sort of the Breakfast at Tiffany's thing, if she were 52 when making it. Still working on the jewelry end with possible scarf. As to projects, I'm working on Browncoat, Firefly, Serenity alphabet attachments to lanyards, pins, and maybe earrings which if I'm lucky, I'll be able to get the SE Browncoats to provide at the fan table for either free or under a $1. We shall see. I'm also working on a quilt that maybe be good enough for the charity auction, so like most staying busy because I can't wait!!!!

What are you wearing and are you going to the Wash Wake?
Can't wait to meet you and your wife

23 days Until Thursday.


"I have been here many times before In a life I used to live
But I have never seen these streets so fresh Washed with morning rain
I have seen this face a thousand times Every morning of my life
But I never saw these eyes so clear Free of doubt and pain
Like the whole world has been made again."

What would y’all say to an early bird trivia contest at D*C? Thursday, August 31st, 9pm, the fan table area. We figure we can reserve the table and have some fun too. There will be prizes, an SEBC prize pack, and we’ll see what else I can scrounge up.

So pick up your badge, grab a bite to eat, load up your flasks (Please remember that public drunkenness is against the law in GA. If you enjoy, enjoy responsibly ) and come sit a spell and wow your friends and neighbors with your knowledge of the minutia of the Serenifly ‘verse.

You remember that there's that GIANT trivia thingy up on the NC Firefly site that Torquemada did for us at the NCBDMPP last year? You are more than welcome to steal..er..borrow anything from that.

If you want to go but still haven't registered, the TrekTrak still needs volunteers so I'm copying the email I just got in case anyone is interested. They make a real effort to schedule you around the traks you want to attend so...

TrekTrak --- the Dragon*Con track of programming devoted to Star Trek ---
still needs two volunteers to serve on its staff at this year's convention.

TrekTrak staff volunteers receive a free full four-day membership to the
convention (currently an $85 value), the opportunity to work with or around
Dragon*Con's celebrity Star Trek guests (escorting them to and from the Walk of

Fame and/or in or out of the programming room as needed, the opportunity to
have a photo taken with them, etc.), a ticket to Dragon*Con's legendary Dead
Dog
Party, and a personalized full-color Certificate of Appreciation (suitable
for framing). And, as it says on the Dragon*Con web site, "working staff
can
be an incredibly rewarding experience; that warm glow of teamwork and
accomplishment that comes with a successful year will last long after the
convention ends. And end it must.... but you'll be richer and wiser for
it."

Eligibility and duty requirements are somewhat greater for TrekTrak staff
than most other Dragon*Con departments. Persons interested in serving as a
TrekTrak staff volunteer:

* must be at least 21 years old; non-smoker preferred
* should be familiar with the Star Trek franchise and possess a competency
and appreciation of TrekTrak programming topics and participants
* must be willing to serve a minimum of two (2) four-hour duty shifts as
needed each day of the convention, Friday through Monday inclusive, including

breakdown and loadup of the programming room on Monday afternoon
* should be able to apply common sense solutions to simple problems and
know when to bring important problems or issues to the Director's attention
* should be able to follow simple instructions and be trusted to carry them
out without micromanagement
* should have a basic understanding of how to operate common audio/visual
and computer equipment, such as VCR and DVD players, camcorders, digital
cameras, etc.
* should have experience in, be comfortable with and can be trusted
handling money
* must be willing to purchase an embroidered TrekTrak staff shirt and abide
by the TrekTrak dress code while on duty
* should have secured accommodations during the convention (e.g., your own
hotel room or local sleeping arrangements)

If you or someone you know is a Star Trek fan interested in serving on this
year's TrekTrak staff at Dragon*Con and meets the eligibility requirements
above, or if you have any questions, please send your name and phone number via

email to TrekTrak programming director Eric L. Watts at _TrekTrak@aol.com_
(mailto:TrekTrak@aol.com) .
