It's only about an acre, though, and I'd have to work it out with about 30 homes and an elderly center. Doubt that would work, but I've always thought it would be cool to have an outside viewing of the show or movie in a park setting.

Last year some of us talked about how cool it would be to watch Firefly outside... I'm in

Hi folks! I'm Bill from Albuquerque. I made the last two Balls. What? Anyway, can't wait for this one. Glenda and I are both coming.

Look to see you there!

Hi wbbnospam!

So happy you folks will be visiting us in Portland! Look forward to meeting you and Glenda and showing you around our fair city.

My plan has changed somewhat. Instead of coming down from Seattle I will likely be coming up from the SF Bay area via train and then taking a red eye back to Boston on Sunday. Can you suggest things to do between breakfast and about 9PM on Sunday in Portland?

Hi everybody! I'm gonna do my "darndest" to make it down from Seattle; it'll be my first BCB, and who knows when it'll be in our corner of the continent again. Plus I loooove PDX; lived there for several years as a kid. Anyway, wish me luck! BTW don't believe my webcam; I'm not really blue--quite pink in fact.
Cheers,

Hi All You Shiny Folk!

I'm just firming up my plans and it looks like I will be joining all of you for a dance or two! I'm totally excited, for while I currently reside in the grand Core City of New York, I'm actually from the Outer Rim town of Gresham! This will also be my third ball so I'm looking forward to seeing familiar faces and meeting new ones.

Til then!
Emily

Welcome back to your old stomping grounds, Emily! Although I'm not sure we'll be gettin' out to Gresham. Excited to hear you'll be joining us for the shindig of the year.

Nihao!

Tequila Matt here. Some of you know me, some of you do not. I was a member of the committee that ran the 2007 Browncoat Ball in Philadelphia, PA. That was my first BCB and I didn't make it to Austin, TX last year -- though I've been to various PA Shindigs over the years, CSTS events in Philly and Pittsburgh, Shoreleave and Farpoint in Maryland, and Dragon*Con in Atlanta.

I am seriously considering traveling out to Portland, OR for this year's BCB. (Portland has been calling to me the last few years and it may be time to give in.) I don't think any of my crew members are up for the journey, so I was wondering what the room-sharing situation was like. Is anyone looking for or open to taking on a roommate to reduce costs?

Got my hotel room and train ticket today. Anyone else doing track #2?

I am as well. See ya there.

heh, well oops. I ended up switching tracks (long story), but I'll see you at the rest of the event, I'm sure!

Hello!my name is Madeline,I'm from the White Salmon/Dallesport WA area {about an hour 1/2 from Portland}
I've been a member of the PDX Browncoats online for quite some time now under BrowncoatMW but have yet to attend an event!
I know the Ball isn't too far off,what,a week and a half? I'm trying to find any help with attending,if anyone is wanting to share a room/transportation I'd love to know!

Firefly is very close to my heart and I've never met a bad person associated with it

Hope to meet you all there!-

So, I hear we have one room, maybe more, at the Ball rate of $179, so if people are still looking for rooms, let's see what we can do!!
