This May 28th thru 30th (Memorial Day Weekend) in Columbus, Ohio is MARCON (Multiple Alternatives Realities Convention). There will be discussions, authors, art shows etc. There will also be a FIREFLY PRESENCE!! This will include a Firefly Panel Discussion (for which panel members are needed) and a Firefly Party Room! (party room will be companion bordello/blue sun room theme)
--------------------------------------------

EDITED TO ADD: There will also be many Buffy/Angel related panels and a Buffy the Musical Singalong with a live cast Rocky Horror style!!! Okay back to Fly's post:
-------------------------------------------

Two years ago 3500 people attended Marcon. I believe that rivals last year's attendance at WorldCon! One of the organizers met the Chicago Browncoats at CapriCon last year & came again to their FF party room this year. This time he requested a Browncoat Presence at marcon! We need to honor that request!

So far we have only four confirmations. We need more help and more local columbus, ohio browncoats to attend! The participants will be renting a party room for two nights ($230), providing decorations, man power & the like. Even if you can't afford to pitch in, your presence at the con will help us out tremendously!!! You can chat with visitors to the party room, help change the dvds, etc, and hang around while some of the party room organizers fulfill their commitments by hosting some panels in the con (including a firefly panel!!). If you are interested in helping &/or promoting Firefly and the Firefly Movie let us know!! If you have any questions, you can post them here.

edited to add: if you are interested in being part of the firefly discussion panel, let us know.

also, there's going to be a big shindig in chicago in september: browncoat ball. if you think comin' to chicago may at all be a possibility check out http://www.browncoatball.com for more info and you can check the "roadtrip" thread in the forum for people to drive down to chicago with.

shiny!!! so now, just remember to register yourself and your companion. (companions are especially welcome at the ball). we'll be posting a registration deadline soon. it will be about a month before the ball. the hotel has a booking deadline, so it will probably be the same date...

hope you have a chance to make it to ohio. it'll be great to have more browncoats there!

Yeah, what's with all the Midwest Browncoat balls and such? I guess New York Browncoats just don't have any balls, then

BTW, no flaming necessary, NYC Browncoat here

They can have my "Firefly" DVDs when they pry them from my cold, dead fingers....

Oh yeah,

you, FOX TV!!

C'mon Buckeye Browncoats! It'd be awfully embarrassing if I was the only one there actually from Ohio...

Edit: Oops, Flyhead is from Ohio too, my bad.

There was a New York Browncoat on the official board the other day saying that Hoyts theater had built a mega movie theater in Syracuse and was wondering if there was any interest from us Browncoats to rent the theater for one day showing of the movie when it comes out. As I am from the Hudson Valley area and near Albany, Syracuse isn't too terribly far for me to go.

Unfortuately I can't find that post anymore...
