Chicago/Midwest-istas, the Chicagoland Browncoats are hosting another Firefly-themed room party at Capricon (Feb 10-13 in Arlington Heights, IL) this year. Last year our Blue Sun Room won Best Theme Party. This year Capricon's theme is "Mad Scientists" so we doing St. Lucy's Hospital from "Ariel" as our party theme. We're doing a brief pre-party on Friday night, with the main party on Saturday night. Con registration is not required to attend the party, so if anyone wants to swing by room 1204 they're more than welcome to.
If you want to actually attend the Con, pre-reg is $40 for the weekend or $70 at the door. (Single day is $40 at the door).
Any Buffista out there interested in BigGay!Pirate! Porn, I have a book that needs a good home. The Buccanneer by M.S. Hunter was a gift after some girlfriends and I saw PotC.
It's not a bad read and it might make a wonderful reference for any fledgling slash writers out there. Or any current collectors of gay, pirate porn.
Free to anyone who emails me at my profile addy.
Edit--the porn is gone.
Note of thanks from your weary world travellers, Victor and Thessaly! THANK YOU to Javacat, Katrina and Sparky for coming out to see us at Praya Restaurant tonight! It means a lot to us. Wish we had more time to chat--the blown tire was, well, distracting.
Thanks also to Lee for coming out to the secret ninja gig, and to cass for visiting us at the Ugly Mug.
Lastly, a BIG thank you to Hec and JZ, whose air mattress we are about to fall upon.
There are some wonderful folks on this board, and I'm terribly happy to know you all.
We're at the Cobalt Cafe n Canoga Park tomorrow, 9 p.m., if anyone wants to join us. Please pray for automotive karma!
Bragging on my band some more...We got some really nice local press today:

Um, hey, I've been really gray (or grey for those of you prefer that spelling) lately but ... if anyone who read "Slayer Slang" and enjoyed it has a minute to head over to Amazon and say so (about the new paperback edition), it would please the author mightily. There's only one review up there for the paperback right now and it's a stinker, which is making him sad.
This message is for
Holli,

Could she email me at my profile address, please? I need to reach her about her gift.
