------------------------------------------------------
FAN TABLE

The California Browncoats have returned with a fan table you should definitely make a point of visiting. It's in the Main Exhibit Hall at A11/A12. Same place as last year for those who went--all the way to the right as you enter, and then almost all the way back.

There will be a wide array of Browncoat merchandise (see http://www.californiabrowncoats.org/CABC/merchandise.htm ) Plus, not listed on the web page: Kaylee bear patches, "Wash is my co-pilot" license plate holders, bag of wash-a-saurs, dashboard Buddhas. The list includes Browncoat-produced goods, more officially type goods, plus related comics (including the Dark Horse 20th anniversary with a piece of art by Joss Whedon), CDs, DVDs and books--Oh... just go look at the list!

We are also running a charity fundraiser with a prize drawing you won't want to miss out on! Just donate and you could win! The grand prize was donated by Adam Baldwin: his personal screenplay of the movie "Serenity" signed by 8 of the 9 BDHs (Adam couldn't catch Alan Tudyk for a signature), AND the one and only Joss Whedon.

The list of prizes is long and varied with lots of excellent prizes related to "Firefly" and "Serenity" (big surprise), but also Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, King Kong, X-Men, Stargate, and much more. Check it out at http://www.californiabrowncoats.org/CABC/prizelist.htm

There will be smaller daily prize drawings, and then the main prize drawing will be July 23 on the last day of Comic-Con (need not be present to win). Get the details (deadlines, rules, and such) at
http://www.californiabrowncoats.org/CABC/faq.htm

This fundraiser benefits the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation (MC-LEF), chosen by Adam Baldwin. This 4 star charity primarily gives college scholarship funds to surviving children of fallen Marines, federal law enforcement officers, and other military servicemen and women. Check them out at http://www.mclef.org

We will also have several authors and artists signing. The schedule from http://www.californiabrowncoats.org/CABC/schedule.htm is as follows:

Yes indeed: Thank you so much Simon!

I will get to be at Comic-Con, but just for one day, and I'll be working the fan table most of the day. I'll get to do a spin around the hall, and maybe catch a glimpse of Joss :)

How 'bout you?

No sadly, I live too far away *pouts* ( Missouri)
but I have kids who live in Cali.. maybe I can prevail upon them to let me come visit next year and go with them.

I'm so happy you get to go!!
