Hey! My first post, tho I've snooped around here b4. Anyway, what other Firefly boards are there and is anyone going to the Seattle meet? I just RSVP'd but there's only 4 others who have. Or would that b 3 and myself? Hmm, *thinks* LOL Anyway, I'd really like to meet some other fans, the more the merrier! Info on the other boards would be greatly appreciated! Ciao!

Well, looks like Nadja already gave you most of the info about the boards, although one of the addresses she gave you appears to be incorrect (the Seattleite thread at the old board is actually http://forums.prospero.com/foxfirefly/messages?msg=8822.1 just jump to the end and say hi)

Anyway, I'm a Seattlite browncoat, and I can tell you that although most of us didn't know about the meetup, and I for one can't make it, we are planning a barbeque on the 17th. The information is all on the other threads, (the one I posted and the last link that Nadja posted) and if you don't want to read through it all just ask us and we'd be happy to put it all together for ya. Hope to meet you in person!

I'll be there in San Diego. Gonna have the waitress put my coffee in my Blue Sun cup, so's the other Browncoats know it's me.

So, you want to know how a meetup goes, huh?

It's pretty simple, really, but I am always nervous before I go, anyway. I am very shy and I am always scared that I won't be able to find the group, or that noone will talk, or something...

Anyway, I have been to two meetups (not FF related). You just show up at the appointed time and look around for a group of people. Both times I went, the meetup was held in a coffee shop and there was only 1 group in the place, so I just walked up and asked if they were the meetup. If you are in a place that is crowded, you can ask someone who works there - they usually know - and at some meetups there is a person who volunteers to 'host' the event. That person usually stands near the door and directs people to the group. Then you just sit down, introduce yourself and join the conversation. The meetups are totally informal and people just hang out until they want to leave...

Both times I have gone so far, I really enjoyed myself and met some interesting people.

Did that help?

Hey! Thanx NADJA and JANEDOE612! So there's a lot of Seattle fans then eh? I live an hour south east of Seattle but I have a party later in the evening of the 10th that's in Edmonds so I thought I'd stop by and meet some more fans on my way up. I just love the show to bits, I got my family hooked, we all can't wait for the BDM. Thanks for the info!

I received notice today that Atlanta (well, Roswell/Marietta metro to be more specific) cancelled because there is only 2 of us.

That's too bad. I only signed up on meetup out of curiosity about the FF events, but it hasn't reallly caught on much...I suppose because we already organize so many events on our own. I'm going to try to put the meetup day on the calendar on this site every month if I can. For some reason I had trouble posting on the calendar (tried several times). I need to ask Haken if there was a problem.

Have you been to any of the Atlanta shindigs? I think they've had at least 2 now.

Maybe you'll change your mind for the next one. We're also brainstorming a mini-shindig during WorldCon.

Shiny! What day of Worldcon? I may only go one day and that would definately be a deciding factor.
