Good luck with your convention.
Does the convention ever show movies or TV shows?
Hint hint. Serenity or Firefly episodes.

Details are pretty sketchy - the website's pretty limited. It doesn't really go into a lot of detail about the sort of stuff that goes on...but the hope is that they're willing to work with the Browncoats to expand their programming tracks and activities and whatnot.
What information they do have is available at:

How far is that from Atlanta? Sounds like it might be a fun time, and this GA Browncoat may just want to hop in and help out some fellow southerners.

This is only about 3 hrs from me. I would love to hit another con & hang w/ some browncoats, especially a con that is not overcrowded. The price is cheap on this one too.
I will watch to see how the guest list shapes up before I decide though.

Throw a shindig???! That would be gorram shiny! And yes, HeatherUnderwood, I'm that Terri from facebook. I'm bad at remembering names and faces, and stuff...about life. My b. Hey, we should totally do something at StellarCon! We should do stuff everywhere, but yeah, start small. I'm on board. My email is xenite.one@gmail.com
So, write me and tell me what I need to do! I'll be there.

For anyone in the Atlanta area, High Point is about 5 hours away.
Basically, you can get there from anywhere in US as long as you have access to Interstate 85. In fact, the Con is at the Radisson, and to get there you take 85 until you get to the "High Point- Downtown" exit, and the Radisson is down the road a couple of the miles and on the right (right in the middle of downtown).

Anyway, the biggest things we need in order to get a large Firefly event happening at StellarCon are (1) People to go to it, and (2) money to fund it.
I think we're good on #1, but for the second part we need to see what the ConCom for StellarCon has to say.

You say "Go Pirates!" like our football is something you should be proud of. I was in marching band last year, and I won't be the first to tell you that I've seen the ECU Pirates snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

Anyway, I'll have to check out this Christmas Party thing. I mean, it's not like I'll be at college from December 12th 'til January 7th or so...

Well, I'm about an hour-and-a-half West of Atlanta...this doesn't sound like it would be all that bad of a drive. It would be nice to get together with a bunch of Browncoats in NC!

Terri: I'll send you an e-mail just as soon as I get a chance to chat with Ryan about what he's found out today. Our college schedules are a little chaotic and don't really mesh on certain days...so whenever I hear from him whatever he's figured out today, I'll be sure and let you know something.
And as for throwing a Shindig...surely if we could get even a few people to pitch in, we could make it happen. There's plenty of Browncoats. And if the Radisson would allow it, I'm sure pooling resources (especially time) wouldn't be a problem for those of us in the immediate area who are willing to get this thing organized.
