~~"Firefly Under the Stars" Pennsylvania Shindig~~
www.myorangehat.citymax.com/shindig.html
Well, it finally happened. I got sick and tired of missing all the Shindiggity fun, so I decided to start planning one of my own! This Shindig is still in the planning stages so ANY and ALL help/suggestions will be very appreciated.
Where: My horse farm. (Harleysville, PA. About one hour NNW of the Philly airport)
When: CONFIRMED for October 9-10.
Who is welcome: EVERYONE! Bring yourself, your Firefly converts, and potential converts.
How long is the Shindig: I'm thinking a Saturday-Sunday thing.
Accommodations: I have a large house, a few extra beds, plenty of sofas, and room for sleeping bags. Also, for those with allergies(I have LOTS of animals) there are a few hotels within 15 minutes of my house.
Potential Activities:(please comment on which you would like)
-FIREFLY PROJECTED ONTO THE SIDE OF MY BARN! We can watch Firefly outside under the stars. (This could be lots of fun, but is weather dependent.)
-BBQ, cookout. I'll feed ya. Maybe hamburgers and hotdogs, maybe something a bit classier if I can find someone who is a better cook than me.
-Beer! Yes, beer is an activity. ;p (I'll have soda for those under 21, so no under aged drinking.)
-Horsie rides. I'll give anyone that wants a chance to ride on a horse, a ride a few times around my riding ring. Or if you just want to get up for a photo op. that is fine too. :)
-Conversation with fellow Browncoats about Firefly. Like I could even stop that if I tried. ;p
-Someone at FFF.net suggested those with guitars and other instruments bring them. Good idea, but I'm musically impaired so this would be up to other to do.
Soooo, that's what I have so far. Suggestions, anyone? If you would like to come, please email me through my profile or post here so that I can get an idea of how many people to expect. Thanks! :)

You have a definite YES from 2 York Browncoats: myself, and Ryan (SteamedBao3). It sounds GREAT. Ryan says he'll be willing to cook. I'm working on the Firefly monopoly game so nicely posted by csteinme so I can bring that along if you like. Also, Ryan has made Tall Card and we can bring that too.
This a costume deal? We have those too LOL Just keep us updated!!!
Also, Ryan and I would be interested in making "First Annual Firefly Under the Stars PA Shindig 2004" shirts...nuthin fancy, just iron on...if people would be interested. We'd need a set # and sizes of course....
BTW, what's your email address? I couldn't find it on here.
Yay! Horsie rides!

Oh, yeah, I'm an OB native and I keep forgetting that FFF.net doesn't have your email in your profile(oops!).
My email addy is: PenPenAgain@aol.com
Tall card sounds great.
Monopoly sounds great.
Shirts sound REALLY cool! :D
Costumes are welcome, but remember this is a horse farm complete with dirt, so you might want something else to wear when we watch Firefly outside by the barn. :)
I still need to check to make sure my projector is powerful enough to look good. If it isn't, I'll rent one that is because now I'm married to the idea of seeing the Serenity crew ten feet tall!
Edited to fix dumb typo.

Color me counted in (or count me colored in...though that makes much less sense)!
Should be a real barn-burner!! 
Hmmm...someone should compile a list of and procure the ingredients of some of the 'Loon drinks...

I'd love to come, but I don't think I can unless something is organized a bit closer to Pittsburgh.

Count me in, too! I e-mailed you, MOH, and a relaxing drive out to farm country would do me good from here in New Jersey. Keep us updated!
ETA: I just mapped Harleysville from where I live in NJ, and it says about 2 hours. Shiny!!

I'll be there.
I might drag the family along if you say there will be other activities. Or not. I'm the only browncoat of the lot.
Have you considered which episodes you will show? Any are fine with me. I love them all.

Well, I'm always looking for a way to dirty up my Kaylee coveralls a bit, but I think I'll pass on the actual wearing of the costumes. I have plenty of Firefly-related normal clothes.
Wellllllllllllll - On second thought, maybe I'll bring 'em along for the horsie and outdoorsy photo ops.
