I feel really stupid, but I can't wait to meet some more Browncoats!!!!! For the first time since last December when I saw all episodes and the BDM, I'll actually meet people, in person, who get why I'm so excited about the 'Verse. I know it sounds corny but seeing the show gave me a reason to go on. My best friend of 34 years died last December and I was lost and rudderless. We spoke several times a week even though we lived a time zone away. I had to notify his family. I couldn't bear it. After a few days I quit my job - they sent me home from work and said come back in two weeks and if I still wanted to quit, do it then. For two weeks I watched the show (my brother sent me the boxed set of the show) after watching the first episode I went out and bought the movie and watched it after I watched all of it every moment I was awake for the full two weeks. While I didn't fight and lose a war, I had lost almost all that was important to me: like the Captain. And then I realized once that happens, you can either lay down and die or go on. Stupid to get it out of TV show but there you have it. You can talk about great characters (which it has), you can talk about excellent writing and concept (which it also has), perfect casting and cast chemistry (yeah it has that too), but mostly I got a reason to go on. It will be wonderful to meet others who get it too. I sure want more. Weird that I was at Dragon*Con last year even was at the Firefly/Serenity panel (even sat next to Jewel Straite's table at brunch one day) and didn't realize how lucky I was. This year I'll know how lucky I was.

I plan to just dress in normal stuff. I'm not going to dress as a pirate but I do plan to go as a Mudder. I really don't know what I am going to do yet for the prom but I promise that I'll wear something.

I don't know, but someone did say that there wasn't a strict dress code...so, sure. I'd say "whatever knocks your socks off"...but that would be just a Wee Bit Too Clever.

Tempest, as an adorer of Audrey Hepburn, I must ask which outfit you are planning on wearing...if you don't mind?
Hell's Kitten, I think the whole thing is going to be one big Shindig...oh, yeah, and there are supposed to be non-Browncoats there, too. 
Also, as we are now getting closer to D-Day, I post this for all of us with projects still to do:

You aren't alone with projects still to do...
I'm wearing hair up in french knot, white gloves over the elbow, black velvet-fitted and straight line with spaghetti straps. Still working on the jewelry end with possible scarf. As to projects, I'm working on Browncoat, Firefly, Serenity alphabet attachments to lanyards, pins, and maybe earrings which if I'm lucky, I'll be able to get the SE Browncoats to provide at the fan table for either free or under a $1. We shall see. I'm also working on a quilt that maybe be good enough for the charity auction, so like most staying busy because I can't wait!!!!
What are you wearing and are you going to the Wash Wake?
