Ten Things I learned at the PA Shindig...

1. A big, damn, hero is also a very large sandwich.

2. Everyone looks cute in a orange hat or a pretty floral bonnet.

3. The east coast PA Shindig has made the east coast larger. Illinois is now a part of the east coast.

4. When watching Firefly episodes, Browncoats laugh just thinking of the next funny line.

5. A Browncoat who looks like Rivers scares me when she picks up a twig.

6. Freaky memory people can win fabulous gifts and prices.

7. When you don't know the answer to a Firefly triva question, simply say: "We applied the cortical electrodes but were unable to get a neural reaction from either patient." Then sit down.

8. A "Vanna White" Browncoat is called a board bitch.

9. Browncoats are witty, clever, talented people who understand why former Fox execs are going to special hell.

10. My Orange Hat and mom know how to host the shinest Shindig in the verse!

Had a great time all! Thanks for everything!

A super-shiny huge thank you to MyOrangeHat and her family for throwing an absolutely wonderful time.

The horse rides were a great idea. I really had fun. I got the cute, short, stumpy horse, which suited me quite well.

I never realized how much I didn't know about the show until Firefly Jeopardy and the Firefly Bee. Must study for next year! Must study as hard as Freakish Memory Guy!

We played charades on Sunday, and how some people could guess "Mal's reaction when Saffron offers to wash his feet" or pantomime "The Message" scene where Nathan is running around to be in every shot in the gag reel is incredible. I also learned that miming someone driving means it's Wash, and miming someone putting on a hat and holding a gun means it's Jayne. I also learned that men miming Inara giving herself a sponge bath is hi-larious.

We had some great singers this weekend, everything from the theme song to the Buffy musical, but who knew The Hero of Canton could be played well on a *trombone*??

Dave grilled us up some great burgers! All the food was tasty, from the strawberry shortcake, to the bao, to the meatball sammiches, and all of this was brought by Browncoats!

I realized that being an auctioneer when I'm suffering from a cold is hard work!

The Big Damn Heroes on a Big Damn Barn was kick-ass. The best part was when 30+ Browncoats, all cozy in chairs, on blankets, or in tents sang the theme song together.

And a huge thanks to all the generous Browncoats who bid in the auction. It went very well.

It was a fantastic time, and I can't wait for next year!!!

Rhyme, you were absolutely heroic. I couldn't belive you hauled in all those shiny prizes and did all that auctioneering and hollering while you were all stuffed up n sick. You probably should have been in your bunk, cranked up on Theraflu, but no, you even went on the horsies and stayed up late to watch the Firefly marathon...wow.
May I presume you are resting today, in recovery mode? Hope so! Take good care, gf.

Saw those pictures, AnotherFF: Nicely done!
What a bunch of characters them browncoats are, eh?! Can't believe you got "River" to balance on the rail fence, or did she volunteer? Is that girl scary when she picks up a stick or what!!? Also, thanx for a couple cute shots of my Kaylee-esque daughter...and the action photos documenting "thrilling heroics" as BDHs rescue sunken Dodge from the bog (that's where my husband mucked up his new shirt, that Ryan had so lovingly produced for us), .. and those AMAZING Firefly-on-the-barn shots! Whoa!

So glad you (eventually) made it allllll the way from Maryland. You rock.

If ya ever make it to NJ shore, we will make you strawberry shortcake.

Can I be "board bitch" next time?

I just want to echo what everyone else has already said. It was a great time. Truely a shiny experience. Thanks to MOH an Mom of MOH for hosting our wild bunch of travelers for the weekend.

Things I learned
1) I can be on a horse for more than 5 seconds without falling off.
2) Sand really does get everywhere
3) That you can crochet underwear
4) I takes 2 days for a 5 quart block of ice/frozen chowder to defrost.
5) The true definition of mudders. We should rename Larry's parking spot "Mudder Hole" or simply "Canton"
6) That I need to study for next years triva. That was truly frightening.
7) Reavers (otherwise known as Turkey Vultures) alway seem to gather around browncoats
8) There is a universal hand signal to greet Fox Executives
9) I am the only one who likes bad HBO movies
10) Turning on the grill is a spectators sport. KABOOM!

Thanks for a great weekend everyone. I am kinda bumbed that I am back here all alone again (sniff) but you have inspired me to get our Firefly Meetup in Boston going in November. We have a good sized list but have never met. This is the month to start.

Great meeting everyone
