Lexigeek has been working hard on the Browncoats' Backup Bash (should it be needed), he posted this elsewhere:

Just wanted to give you an update on our plans to create an alternate fan experience in the event Flanvention II falls through.
First, we now have a name for this shindig. We're calling it the Browncoats' Backup Bash. We thought that kind of covered all the bases :) We've even set up a new e-mail address. If you have questions, you can e-mail us at backupbash@sfbrowncoats.com.
Second, plans are proceeding on making this as exciting an event as possible on such short notice. We're working out a schedule of potential events and activities as we speak. We are in touch with the hotel to try to work out meeting space, and as has been mentioned previously, they will honor the previously negotiated group rate for anyone who has a reservation. We've also talked with a bunch of the vendors who were planning to be there, and most have said they're interested in still attending even if Flan falls through.
Finally, we are working on contacting the actors to see if they'll be willing to attend as well. I can't stress this enough: we can't make any guarantees, especially at this late date, but you have our word that we will try our hardest to make it happen.
On the topic of contacting the Big Damn Heroes, I have a request. We have very good contact info for all the actors and other celebs, so please let us make these calls. The last thing any of us want is for the actors or Joss to get a ton of phone calls and e-mails and get so frustrated they just decide to back out.
Our main hope is that Booster comes through and Flan goes off without a hitch, making these preparations unnecessary. But if it does fall through, we hope everyone who had a ticket to Flan will consider still coming and enjoying the Browncoats' Backup Bash!

I know that it'll be a great weekend no matter what happens.
And a HUGE thank you to lexigeek for all his hard work!

I can't absolutely commit yet--but the Bedlam Bards will most likely be there at the Browncoat Backup Bash, singin' our little hearts out and debuting our new song about Kaylee and Simon.
If not, I still have to say that the California Browncoats Rock! To step up and plan an event at the drop of a hat--that's the kind of no-nonsense decisiveness that we'd expect from Captain Reynolds. *Standing Ovation*
Let's aim to misbehave, Browncoats,

I can now be definite--the Bedlam Bards will be in Burbank on December 8-10, whether at the Flanvention II, the Browncoat Backup Bash, or busking on the street corner.
See you there!

Yeah, Bedlam Bards! Looking forward to the Kaylee & Simon song. I think I've worn down your CD of the Firefly inspired songs that I bought at DragonCon

Take my cash, take my Flan,
Make me sleep out in my van.
I don't care, I'll still play;
Hitch-hike to Burbank all the way!
You guys are the BEST!
I cannot express how wonderful you are!!

Seattle Browncoats are heading south for a little misbehavin'. Seeing the Bards again just puts a nice, foamy head on my beer! 
Can't wait to hear the Simon/Kaylee song!

Man, I feel awful about all of this. I had actually considered going to Flan at one point (until I saw the ticket prices and came to my senses). I really hope the backup plan goes through all right (or even better, that Flan doesn't get cancelled at all).
Worst of all, December 1st is my birthday...

Thanks for the kind words!
We Browncoats have never been the kind of folk to give up just because things get tough. We aim to misbehave.
As for me and Hawke, it's probably pretty risky to drive all the way out to California without a guaranteed paycheck, considering that we've got parts falling off our cars and a considerable need to eat some time this month. But it's the right thing to do.
And like the good shepherd said, if you can't do something smart, do something right.
Sure, the storm might be getting worse, but we'll get through it soon enough.
See you in the world, 'coats,
Cedric
