The Bards are Back in Town!

Well, okay, not yet- but they're coming! Cedric and Hawke, better known as the BEDLAM BARDS will be back in Toronto come November for "Bards Without Borders Deux"!

They will be appearing the weekend of November 19-21 at SFContario, Toronto's newest science fiction convention, celebrating the best of science fiction and fantasy. SFContario will include the content of literature, media, and visual arts, the educational and academic aspects of science and culture, and the participatory and social aspects such as costuming, gaming, filking, fanzines, online fandom, and other fannish activities. The con will have 3 days of activities will focusing more on creativity, both content (books, art, and media) and fan activity (filking, costuming, gaming, etc.)

The Bards will have a full concert in the main convention room as well as hosting panels, workshops and maybe even some hypnosis sessions throughout the entire weekend. Other Browncoat specific activities will be going on as well during the con. Plus, if you clearly put somewhere on your membership form "I AM A BROWNCOAT" you will receive a special goodie bag at registration!!

Oh, and did I mention Firefly Cargo Bay will be in the dealers' room with a full 2 tables of shiny stuff for sale? The whole new 2010 product line which also features some gems from QMx!

So, what are you waiting for?!?!?!? Get on over to SFContario and get yourself registered! Don't forget to include "I AM A BROWNCOAT" on your membership form! Free shinys, after all and that's quite a discount, because 10% of nothin is... let me do the math here... nothin into nothin carry the nothin.....

Is It September Yet?

My mother always told me not to wish my life away, but it's hard not to when the movie Browncoats: REDEMPTION comes out in September.
Here is the latest trailer now live on their site.

SHINY!
(hey, I know some of those people in there!)

Until next time:
"Wacky fun!"

CONfirmed

Ni Hao!

I've been busy scanning the airline web pages trying to figure out the mystery that is best air fare rates. So far, I'm losing.

ANYWAY, I'm doing this because of the six cons I decided to work this year, I'm definitely in for four of them. The are, in timeline order...

Norwescon. I'm working this big con on my own, so if you're in the Seattle area and planning on attending, please be sure to stop by the booth! And bring food ;)

FilKONtario. My filk related merchandise will be in the interfilk bazaar being sold by the wonderful FKO volunteers. I'll be around the con itself actually taking part! Yea me!

Confluence. Returning to my home town with a full FFCB booth at this great con. Come to the 'Burgh and see all the new shinys I have!

Dragon*Con. Back for our 3rd big year! A full FFCB booth and the release of Browncoats:REDEMPTION Why would you *not* be there?!??! (psst: there will be more than a few shiny BC:R items available at the Firefly Cargo Bay booth in the Marriott dealers room-- BOTTOM floor!!!)

Also on tap, but not confirmed are Balticon with wonderful author GoH Tanya Huff. I should know by mid-March if they're letting me in the dealers' room. I'll post when I know for sure.

The last con of 2010 will be hopefully, SFContario. This is Toronto's newest scifi convention and looks very promising. They do have a music track and this should be of note to Browncoats in the area because we are working on (hush hush now--) BARDS WITHOUT BORDERS DEUX!!!!! That's right, ladies and menfolk, we're planning on getting the Bedlam Bards back through customs for music and mayhem! Hhmm.. and now that I've just broadwaved that I guess I really HAVE to make it happen now.... Well, I've never been known to be one not to overstep boundaries!

ON A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TOPIC TO DISTRACT YOU FROM MY PREMATURE ANNOUNCEMENT :)

I have completed the sequel to my (I'm so proud) very popular Youtube video Motivated by Firefly and am thrilled to present Still Motivated by Firefly. Enjoy!

Until next time:
"Some people juggle geese!"
