Cool. I've got your livejournal bookmarked. So, if I ever come back I should be able to find you guys.

Good call...

Both the LiveJournal Community and the MySpace page will be updated whenever we decide to put on the Browncoat Saloon again. (This could be in Winnipeg, elsewhere in Manitoba, or even further afield...who knows what the future holds?)

As such, it's a good idea to keep an eye on either/both for developments...

Have fun

Thanks...I'm sure we'll find a way to enjoy ourselves.

This is just another quick bump, for anyone around here who may not have come across this yet...

This is yet another bump...

After all, with the Big Damn Opening coming up so soon, I need to make sure people stay aware of the Saloon.

I hope my fellow Browncoats will help me out in that regard...

...and one last bump before the con starts in Winnipeg...

I hope that's all right with everyone.

The Browncoat Saloon was apparently a rousing success!

A lot of people were really happy to see a Firefly-themed suite in Winnipeg for the first time, and they seemed to dig the effort all of us put into it.

Today has been rather hectic (heck, I'm still in my Wash outfit ), but as soon as I have more time to do so, I'll post a bunch of pics of the Saloon in this thread along with some of my thoughts. Some con reports are already starting to show up online...

Before anyone gets the wrong idea, though, this was not all my doing. I've been posting about it because I'm on the boards already, and I've been helping out, but it wasn't even my idea to begin with.

That credit goes to Jamie Newransky. The genesis and driving force of the Browncoat Saloon came entirely from her, and although she's been on some Whedon-related communities online, she doesn't read these boards on a regular basis. As such, I'd really appreciate it if the Browncoat community could show her some direct love and support for making this happen, because she deserves it more than anyone. Her email address is: jamie.kathleen@gmail.com

Besides her and myself, the other above-the-line credits, as it were, belong to (in alphabetical order) Eve Dutton, Hilary Friesen, Cynara Geissler, Derek Patterson, and James Repa. Most of them are joined up with our LiveJournal and MySpace presences (which I've already linked above), if you're interested.

I promise there'll be a lot more to talk about, plus plenty of visuals, soon...

Cynara has now posted the first pics straight from the Saloon on the LiveJournal Community, if anyone is interested in having a look:

Checking back in with various Firefly-related things this weekend has revealed to me that, even though the Browncoat Saloon was hosted here in Winnipeg quite a while ago, the schwag we put together for it is still quite popular everywhere:

Particularly popular is the Mudder's Milk Mug we made available:

I'm glad our work continues to live on, much like the franchise itself...and I think I need to get another one of those mugs. :)
