Attention!

The California Browncoats are pleased to announce our plans for this year's Comic-Con fan tables, fundraiser and charity auctions throughout the summer (and into the fall). You won't want to miss out, and you don't even have to go to Comic-Con to be part of the excitement!

VISIT THE FAMOUS BROWNCOATS BOOTH AT COMIC CON 2006!!!

Our fan tables (yes we have 2 this year) will be shiny indeed. They will be filled with all kinds of Firefly and Serenity merchandise for you to purchase. Come by and check out the swag and sparklies, and see lots of Browncoat faces. Visit our website for the current list of items we will have for sale ( http://www.californiabrowncoats.org/CABC/merchandise.htm) including some never seen before merchandise.

HELP OUT A GREAT CAUSE CHOSEN BY ADAM BALDWIN HIMSELF!!!

This year the main purpose of the booth is raising money for the Marine Corps – Law Enforcement Foundation ( www.MCLEF.org). You ask, why MCLEF? Well, it's all due to that lovable mercenary in the cunning hat. ADAM BALDWIN is playing a key part in our summer fundraising, and he has personally chosen MC-LEF as a worthy cause doin' good works. Adam is giving us his shooting script from Serenity as the Grand Prize in our "Thank You" drawing on July 23. It is signed by 8 of the cast members and Joss Whedon (he is trying to track down Alan Tudyk to add that last signature). It's in a nice leather bound folder given to him by Universal (check out the pictures on our site). http://www.californiabrowncoats.org/CABC/prizelist.htm

MC-LEF is a 4 star rated charity that provides college scholarships and medical assistance to the children of fallen Marines and other law enforcement personnel. Please check out the good works they do on their website www.mclef.org.

WIN AWESOME PRIZES FROM FIREFLY/SERENITY, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, STARGATE, KING KONG AND MORE!!!

Adam’s Serenity script is only the Grand Prize. You'll also have a chance to win dozens of other prizes in our “Thank You” drawing. We will have items from all over the `verse, not just Firefly and Serenity. This is your chance to get other fandoms interested in a Browncoat event. We just got started receiving donated prizes, and already there are signed photos from Babylon 5 and Stargate, and a cool prop from King Kong. We expect to have many more exciting prizes before Comic Con.

Now you're probably thinking, enough with all the prize talk, how can I donate? And how do I get entered into the “Thank You” prize drawing?

You can donate in 3 different ways:

1. You can donate cash or money orders in person at the Browncoat tables at Comic-Con in San Diego, July 19-July 23. The table location will be posted as soon as we get it assigned by Comic-Con.

In person donations must be received by 1:00 PM PST Sunday July 23, 2006. If you donate after 1:00 PM July 23rd, your money will still go to MC-LEF but you will not receive any entries in the prize drawing.

2. You can donate online via Paypal to

donate@californiabrowncoats.org

Within 24 hours of our receipt of your cleared Paypal donation we will e-mail you with the numbers of your tickets. Tickets will not be mailed to donors. Online donations must be received by Midnight PST July 14th, 2006. If you donate after July 14th, your money will still go to MC-LEF but you will not receive any entries in the prize drawing.

I know! And we haven't even put everything up yet. We just got in a money display from the Prop Store. There are some cool promos from past Comic-Cons that were donated. Robert Trebor (Salmoneus from Hercules) has sent some items that haven't srrived yet. And Kevin J. Anderson said he would bring some props from Children of Dune with him to the con. Oh, and we are hoping to have John Csssaday sign some Mal cover #1's and X-Men comics.

We will be updating the page until right before Comic-Con.

We are going to need both hours of our meeting room just to give all this away!

Already donated, probably will do it again. I've never seen any fan group do what the Browncoats are doing. You are going great things, keep it up!

I can't decide which prize I'd want to win most :)

BTW, another Browncoat thing to check out at Comic-Con is the screening of "Done the Impossible" with Q & A after with the filmmakers. It is being shown as an extra feature in the Comic-Con Independent (Heh) Film Festival. It's showing 8-10 pm on Saturday, 7/22 in Room 6B.

Specifics are as follows:

Manchester Grand Hyatt Randle Ballroom
Friday July 21, 7:00 pm: Serenity (2005) PG-13 (for sequences of intense violence and action, and some sexual references). Joss Whedon’s Firefly is summed up as we rejoin the crew of Serenity as they try to find out once and for all what the doc’s sister is all about.
