[San Francisco Bay Area] BayCon 2008 - Registration and Programming Updates
(crossposted all over the bloody place; updated to include region in the subject line)

Pre-registration for BayCon 2008 is now closed. If you missed the boat, you can still buy memberships at the Convention. Registration will be located in the Mendocino room on the lobby level of the Hyatt Regency. (PDF map available here)

At-Con Membership rates are:

$80 Full (Four-Day) Membership
$35 Friday Only
$45 Saturday Only
$40 Sunday Only
$25 Monday Only
$20 One Evening Only

Evening badges will be sold from 7:00 PM until 9:00 PM on Friday and Saturday evenings and from 7:00 PM until 8:00 PM on Sunday. An evening badge is good from the time of purchase until 9:30 AM the following day.

The preliminary programming schedule is now available on the website. The following Firefly/Serenity-related panels are currently listed:
Fri. 2:30 PM Bayshore West Prepare to Be Adapted: At Story's End

Whatever the media, ongoing comics and tv shows do (eventually) come to an end. Is it better to have a specific ending (à la
Star Trek: The Next Generation or Y: The Last Man) or to just disappear (Firefly)? What about cross-media returns (Buffy and Angel in the comics)?

Sat. 5:30 PM Lawrence/San Tomas/Lafayette Browncoat Bingo

Can't get enough of Serenity and Firefly? Come join the Silicon Gulch Browncoats for a lively round of Bingo. Don't worry if you don't know all the facts, there's help out there in the 'verse, and it won't cost you much!

Sat. 10:00 PM Ballroom E-F Dance: Quark & Joe's Maidenhead Cantina

Quark's Bar on DS9. Joe's Place on Battlestar Galactica. The Maidenhead of Firefly. The Cantina on Tatooine. Every pirate has a place like that to go for a little R&R. Take a spin on the dance floor. Have something to drink. The music stops when you do.



Sun. 8:00 PM Lafayette/San Tomas/Lawrence Ji-Dian LARP

Harlequins and Hellfire! is a special episode of the live action role-playing game (LARP), Ji Dian Station, based on Joss Whedon's Firefly and Serenity. This game takes place on Paquin, as described in the Serenity role-playing game. Ji Dian Station uses a homegrown system designed to get through the challenges as quickly as possible so we can get to the fun of role-playing. Guests will be playing pre-generated characters with histories, goals, and even secrets.

Remember, no plan survives first contact; scheduling, participants, etc., are subject to change.

We hope to see you there!

I have to wait for a few days before I know whether I'm going, and for how long, but am looking forward to it.
