I really really REALLY wanna go to the North Carolina Premear Party (NCPP), the problem is - Parents.

So, Help me out with some compelling reasons that my parents would buy to let me go.

Thanks!

How old are you?

I have to echo Haken's question Ebonezer; how old are you?

The reason I ask is because your age could be a factor in the possibility of your parents letting you go and what arguements might best be used to convince them.

"May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one."

Also, how far is it from your home to Raleigh? Would your parents have to accompany you? I understand that parents don't want a minor going to hang out with people they know only from the internet. It's also a big difference if you are 17 or are 13.

Your best plan would be to find an adult you and your parents know well who is also a Firefly fan and see if they would chaperone you at the event, if your parents don't want to go with you.

I hope Ebo won't mind me fielding two of these questions for her. . .

She's under 18, and she lives on the opposite coast. . .so we're talking serious issues here.

Does it have to be North Carolina? There may be premier parties closer to home.

We got you partially surrounded.

1. Because you are an honor student. Requires some work on your part but the premier is months away.

2. Offer them a choice: Ozzfest or Premier Shindig.

3. Make them watch Firefly, then they will want to go with you.

4. Blackmail. Come on, all parants have something to hide.

5. Make inquiries into a career with the merchant marine expressing desire to sail beyond the reach of your parants oppressive regime.

If you don't live in NC then it become progessively harder the further you live.

I feel your pain, Ebo! (hell, I'll be 38 next week, live as close as Pennsylvania, and still have reservations about my ability to make the shindig!)

Still, I'm with HERO on the suggestions (pay particular attention to number three!).

Worst to worst, there are many Browncoats on the Left Coast who, I'm sure, would be more than happy to arrange with you a Cali Premiere Shindig!

Either that, or STATIC could rent a Jet Ranger or something, pick you up and fly you out himself (he is a War Hero [note: zero sarcasm], after all!)

Best of luck

I just moved from my home state of NC a few months ago and now live close to Pennyslvania, and I don't know if I can make the Shindig....so meebe us BC's around this area can get something going...and other areas as well...

If you can't get to NC, maybe you could host your own. Get a group of friends together (convert them first if necessary) and plan some sort celebration for yourselves -- watch 2 eps a night for a week or something leading up to the grand finale, the BDM.

I'm not too far removed from under 18, and I can't think of a single reason my parents would have bought for allowing me to go to a similar event on the other side of the country.
