marcon update...

well, things are looking good for firefly at marcon. so far, there now may be from 3 to 5 panels about firefly instead of just 1 as we originally thought!

this is shiny news!

so, any other browncoats thinking of attending? let us know by posting in this thread! help us promote firefly and the movie!

also, don't forget - there will be a buffy sing-a-long to the "once more with feeling" episode. this has been one of the most popular panels at marcon the last two years!

see you there!

Wow, I wish I could go. My first con was a Marcon, in like 1986. Back then Marcon meant "March Convention" and there were easter bunnies everywhere.

I'm a Buckeye Browncoat! About an hour from Columbus, so /if/ I can watch my money carefully enough and /if/ I can get a Browncoat friend to come with me, you may see me there!

I live in columbus and I will be going to the convention. I go every year, to this and to the big comic book convention in NOV. If you want to start a list of browncoats in Ohio but me on it.

shiny!! we need more local browncoats! three or four of us who are helping host the party room are going to be on all the firefly panels... that means we need volunteers to stay in the room during some of those times to avoid closing the room down while we are gone :)

this is going to be a fun time had by all ;)

Marcon was such wacky fun! I'd never been to a real con before, just a couple of Creation ones. It was such a culture shock. But in a good way.

Rhobyne, Flyhead, and Vampirefan did such an awesome job on the Firefly room. You guys rock! Stay tuned to the OB, Fly promised to post pictures. Sffan and his wife dropped by to help out too. I wasn't much help, as I had to work Friday and Saturday. Hopefully next year I'll be able to schedule a couple of vacation days for that weekend. I might not be too creative in the decorating department, but I can gofer like nobody's business.

Rhob was a little disappointed at the number of people that showed up (to the FF room), but I think we did pretty good for our first time at Marcon, especially since it's mainly a "literary" con. Don't be too disappointed Rhob, the people who wandered in and then quickly left were just looking for free booze. We did have a couple of guys stop in and tell us that they weren't even planning on going to Marcon until they heard there was going to be a Firefly presence this year. And we did recruit some new Browncoats. Plus, we had at least two people stop by who will be voting for the Hugos (and naturally, voting for Firefly).

Next year, maybe we could do better if we got a fan table in addition to a viewing room. Especially if we can get more volunteers to staff them (hint, hint).

I was kinda nervous about sitting the panels, but they turned out to be fun. An easy way to earn free admission, next time I'll do the required five.
