What do you all think about planning a shindig for March? The Balitcon's in May, right? That seems a little far away....

Plus, what do you do at a shindig?

March would work for me. I think a shindig is whatever the planner makes it into. For example, it could be fancy, like the one in the episode, or it could be completely casual.

Dude, I am /not/ wearing a pink layer-cake dress.

I was thinking some sort of show-related thingy and general get-to-know-you stuff. And food. I'd like to build up to some of the fancy stuff other groups do, like charity events in the show's name. But we don't know each other yet, and I'd rather meet in a quiet setting than at a convention.

But I still suggest Baltimore, since it seems to be equidistant for most people, including the PA folks. But it's a bit of a haul for the N.Va people. It may be a good idea to get a Metropolitan DC group and a separate N.MD/PA group so that no one has to schlep too much. (Although rumor has it Southern PA is now part of the "greater DC area"!)

Any thoughts?

Did anyone here attend Farpoint? It's in the Hunt Valley.

I just got back. Lots of fun! ;)

I think something in march would be great. I think as to what to do at the shindig...lets just all get together once and get to know each other. It would be great to build up to bigger and better things.

God created Mudder's Milk so the Independence wouldn't take over the 'verse.

And as for the dress code? I know my fiance (Steamedbao3) and I have made Mal and Kaylee costumes. The few "dressy" things I have would make me look more like Drusilla. *shrug*

I did, and I was the only one there "representing". Other than what I was wearing, I didn't see any Firefly stuff at the whole show. I was hoping to pick up one of the 'keep flying' shirts or something, but there was nada.

Somewhat depressing... you folks need to get out there and be visible!

I'm in Richmond, VA, but a few hours driving is nothing for a loyal Browncoat.

Well, I'm free for the weekends of March 19th-21st and of March 26th-28th. I think Baltimore is a good place for all of us to meet if those in VA are willing to drive a bit. Where is a good meeting place in Baltimore? I don't know Baltimore at all because I hardly go to the big cities.
