Heads up, Browncoats!

I'm posting this on this group 'cause I know what big hearts y'all have, and that you'll either help if you can, or you'll spread word to someone who can help (please copy it to any groups, boards, or lists you think might be interested in helping).

A blizzard hit Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, in South Dakota, last Wednesday and Thursday and has knocked out the power to thousands. 10 and 20 foot drifts prevent many from leaving their homes, and food and firewood are running low. Some are reportedly burning their furniture to stay warm.

Blankets, warm clothing, food (as well as fuel, water, kerosene lamps and propane) are desperately needed. For anyone in the area who wants to help, go to the Porcupine School, or call 605-867-1111. Alternately, go to nativeprogess.org or http://nativeamericanrights.wordpress.com/. Send warm clothes to: Republic of Lakotah P.O. Box 99 Porcupine, SD 57772.

A week has already gone by; do something today, if you can! It could be three to seven days MORE before power is restored.

If anyone in the area can help with the situation on the reservation or make a donation, they can get in touch with Jeri Baker through the organization's website at nativeprogress.org or call John Dubray directly on the reservation at 605-441-5477.

Send Email Send Email
 
Greetings of the season, everyone:

     This is just a reminder, to those folks that currently are, or wish to be a part of making M.O.O.N.  CON 2009 happen, that our next semi-official meeting of the committee/crew dedicated to that end, will be Saturday, December 20, 2008*.  The location, unfortunately, remains the same as the last two...World Headquarters of Starbase Revolution (southwest Wisconsin's ONLY organized Star Trek fan club chapter), and Middle Of Outer Nowhere CON, 225 East Walnut Street, Muscoda, Wisconsin  53573.  The time, traditionally, will be from 4 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.  This doesn't mean that the actual "business" portion of the meeting is that long, just that we're giving people a large window of time to shoot for, to get there, since a lot of us are spread pretty far across the state.
     Those who won't be able to attend, but wish to have input, or stay current as to what's going on, can contact us at m_o_o_n_con1@..., or starbaserevolution2002@....  Or, call (608) 739-3739.  Updates as to what's happening at the Convention will be posted to the web-site (www.mooncon.bravehost.com) as they are instituted.  Any questions regarding the upcoming meeting can be directed to the same contact points.  Suggestions can be submitted via those means, also.
     As usual, we're going to try to have some munchables, and edibles available for everyone who shows up.  Any of those planning to attend, who wish to make a contribution to that supply, is/are welcome to do so (in fact, it would be greatly appreciated).  Again, as usual, we'll try to keep to the Holiday theme, as to refreshments and edibles. 
     If you are new to our gatherings, that is, have not been a part of any before now, and you plan to attend, please, let us know, so we can calculate how many chairs, utensils, edibles, drinkables, and such we need to have available.  If you've been to one before, you need not inform us as to your attendance (but you can if you want to), we'll just plan for you to be there, even if it turns out that you can't come that day.
     *In the event of inclement weather (like the mess we had this Monday evening, December 8, and Tuesday morning, December 9) we won't expect anyone to struggle with navigating all that way to our home grounds.  We'll just re-schedule our meeting for another day...perhaps when weather turns much better.  Should that occur, we highly recommend contacting us to discuss what would've been discussed at the meeting December 20th.

Your Friendly Neighborhood M.O.O.N. MAN,
Bob Poole
Convention Chair & Coordinator, M.O.O.N.  CON

The weather blows.....
and snows, and rains, and freezes, and who knows what all.

This message is just to remind everybody concerned, or interested in any way in the goings on of the preparations for M.O.O.N. CON, etc., that, things being what they are, and aren't they always, the executive committee of the M.O.O.N.  CON Conventin Committee has elected to reschedule our next meeting/gathering.

As the weather is turning unfriendly for the upcoming weekend, which is exactly when we had schedule the M.O.O.N. Con Holiday Gathering/Con Committee Meeting, we're thinking it best to let this one pass us by.  We won't expect folks to try to get out in that mess and travel to the Middle Of Outer Nowhere to decide  who, what, when, where, why, and how for M.O.O.N.  CON.

Everyone please stand-by, however,  for a rescheduling of that meeting  for, most likely, some time in January.  In the meantime, however, we can still be contacted through the usual means, for online, over the telephone, and e-mail discussions of the upcoming convention.  As long as we have electrical power, we will be accessible.  Should, however, there be an interruption in electrical power, due to the weather, we may be out of touch for a  while.  As our "hand crank" electrical generatior is currently OUTSIDE, and will probably remain there through the next millenium, we shan't be able to supply our computer with energy until the electrical utility restores service.

We do thank everyone for their interest, and their input.    We'll see you folks next year.

Greetings, and Felicitations of the Season to All
(and to everybody else, as well)

     After a good deal of attempting to get caught up on all that we've found ourselves getting behind in (on?), we have decided to alert any who may be interested in "what's going on with M.O.O.N.  CON," and those who are wishing to be participatory in helping to put this convention together, that we are not going to use "THIS" avenue of communication to notify everybody of "what's up?"  Instead, we are encouraging everyone to join the yahoogroup list for M.O.O.N.  CON (m_o_o_n_con1 at yahoo groups).  We're going to begin posting the updated information, meeting announcements, and a whole bunch of other stuff concerning M.O.O.N.  CON at our yahoo group.  It will also serve as a method of two-way, and interactive communication for those of us who find it difficult to get together every fifteen minutes.
     Right now,  starting New Year's Eve, you can find the schedule for our Con Committee/Chapter meetings there.  Yes, the whole schedule.  Starting with January (our very next meeting), and meeting monthly all the way up to M.O.O.N.  CON weekend in July, as well as any other activities that we are planning, or have planned at the moment.  There will be updates as to Guests of Honor, and activities that will be planned for the Con.  Pretty much anything that anyone would want to know about M.O.O.N. CON, will be posted, or discussed there.  Join us now, folks. 
     And thank you for your attention.

Come and join the Greenville Browncoats for some fun and double crossing.
We will be LARPing in the beautiful Camp Buckhorn located within Paris
Mountain State Park in South Carolina.  We would love for you to join us
on our adventure on May 1st - 3rd 2009.

Our Story: Welcome to Jiangyin a Border planet where hill folk are known
to frequently kidnap skilled folk they need.  You will be visiting the town
of Missed Fortune. You will find there is Back stabbing, Double Crossing and
just plain ole cheatinʼ going on in this little town located way out in the
Black.

It seems as if new people in town are constantly disappearing.  The theory
is that the Hill folk are kidnapping some of the new people who arrive in
town, but are they?  When every one is armed and dangerous, who can you
trust?


A Space Crew arrives in Missed Fortune; they have an honest job (or is
it?) delivering a rather large box to a local address.  After the delivery
they are supposed to pick up their pay at Missed Fortuneʼs Post Office.
Evidently this delivery contains something that someone in town doesnʼt want
just dropped on their front doorstep, so it is being delivered to an old
home on the back street of the city.



The Crew scope out the town and find where to deliver the package.  Their
inquiries around town attract a lot of unwanted attention.  What could be in
the box that would cause so much local chaos?   Who would want to have it
delivered anonymously?



The package is delivered and then the crew attempt to high tail it out of
town (Before getting paid?) and find themselves surrounded by two different
groups of very unhappy & armed people.



Our characters are going to have to find a way to muddle through this
predicament hopefully with their hides in one piece. A little bit of good
old fashioned smooth talking and double-crossing will be in order to survive
this one.  Are you up for it?  Will you be Townsfolk, part of the Space Crew
or some other mysterious character?  Itʼs all up to you.



What is the cost for this weekend of fun you ask?  You will play the Game,
get 5 meals, 2 nightʼs lodging and both Friday and Saturday evening Socials,
along with a few classes for the low cost of $100 per person, when you
pre-pay.  If you prefer to pay @ the door, your cost for everything listed
will be $175.  If you prefer to stay some other place we can figure a price
for you too, just let us know.

Greetings:
    
     Some of you folks are interested in "what's-going-on-with" M.O.O.N.  CON.  And, some of you have heard the news that our Convention Coordinator's house burned up (burned down??), in January of this year.  As a consequence, we've had to relocate, at least temporarily, our operational headquarters for the Convention.  Also, we have to find a new location to hold our Con Committee meetings.  Subsequently, we've elected to postpone the much needed meeting that was scheduled for this February 28 (a Saturday), until we can determine an appropriate location for everyone to attend, and until we can gather up our materials and information
from the debris.
     Those who are interested in further information may find it at the Convention Yahoo Group LIst, at the Convention Web Site, or may e-mail us at this e-address, or telephone at the new, temporary, 24 hour hotline for M.O.O.N.  CON (cell # 608-293-3497).  Anyone interested in being a part of M.O.O.N.  CON can "join up" at the Yahoo Group List -

Subject: Nashville TN needs your help!
william_prater
Send Email Send Email
 
My name is William Prater, and I'm here to recruit you to the cause
of the Browncoat! I am contacting you because at some point, your
name has been given as someone who could really help our cause! I
need help and advice on planning Can't Stop The Serenity -
Nashville - 2009. Here we are.... approximately three months from
the intended date of CSTS- Nashville and I'm looking for a crew to
help make this a reality.  So what do you say? - - - - - CAN YOU
aim to misbehave . . . . on the big screen in Nashville Tennessee?

Before we continue, a brief commercial interruption to answer some
questions. . . .

1.) Why this time of year? The reason for the date is that is Joss
Whedon's (the creator of Firefly and Serenity) birthday, and it is
the World Wide date of the event, so cities, states, and countries
will all be doing the same screening at the same time. At this
point I'm open to doing the event on any date from June 23th until
July 21st. So what date would you prefer, and why?

2.)Why this movie? Well, if you're unfamiliar with "Serenity", it
is often credited as "the movie that shouldn't have been". I mean
it's based on a show that lasted a mere one season, accrued less
than 5 million viewers a week, and didn't even beep on most
people's radar until after it was cancelled. But after it was
cancelled, it created such a whirlwind, and found a following that
rivals most sci-fi shows that were on for six or seven seasons or
longer. It created such a stir, that Joss Whedon wrote "Serenity"
as the next chapter in the Firefly universe and along with the
fans, demanded that the movie be made. "Serenity" is one of the
first movies ever, TO BE CREATED FOR THE FANS BY THE FANS. To this
day, Firefly is listed in TV Guide's top 25 Cult Favorite TV
Shows!!!

3. What is Equality Now? Equality Now works to end violence and
discrimination against women and girls around the world through the
mobilization of public pressure. During the last week of June 2006,
Joss Whedon's fans, the Browncoats, organized 47 screenings of his
film "Serenity" in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United
Kingdom and the United States. The screenings were held to benefit
Equality Now and celebrate Joss' birthday. Earnings totaling over
$60,000 have been reported. In 2007, events are scheduled in 51
cities in nine countries. Equality Now is extremely grateful for
the support of the Browncoats and inspired by the tremendous energy
and commitment they have put into their efforts to support our work
to end human rights abuses against women and girls around the
world. For more info, visit www.equalitynow.org

4. Where is the event happening? Well, that sorta depends on you.
How, you ask? Well, depending on how many people respond, and are
willing to help plan and execute everything, the bigger the event.
I've been looking at several venues, from The Belcourt Theater to
OutCentral and have even thought about using Opry Mills 20 or
Hollywood 27. So what's your opinion? And how can we make this a
reality?

And now back to the infomercial. . . . .

So, what is needed for this event, you ask? Well, BROWNCOATS
UNITE!!! I'm looking for individuals with contacts, or who want to
make contacts, who are self motivated (or motivated by the
movement) because, believe me when I say I am so not a
micro-manager. You will become the backbone of the Tennessee

Just a quick note, here, to let folks know that M.O.O.N. CON progresses
quite nicely, and to alert everyone interested to watch the Con Web Site
(mooncon.bravehost.com) for updated information, such as the schedule of events,
the "what's going on?" for that weekend, and other noteable goodies. Also, if
you're really interested, check us out at our yahoo group, or e-mail us with an
inquirey, at m_o_o_n_con1@... (that's the same Yahoo ID for our Yahoo
Group, by the way).
      At least one of us will be at Odyssey Con, with information, sign-up sheets
for volunteers, fliers, pre-registration forms, etc, etc, etc. Look for
M.O.O.N. MAN at Odd Con, he'll be pretty much incognito, so you'll have to check
the name badges. If you're interested in getting involved with M.O.O.N. CON,
have some ideas for panels, want to volunteer to "work" the Con (M.O.O.N. CON,
that is), or want to pre-register, or just want some general information about
our Con, see the M.O.O.N.ster, at Odyssey Con.

From www.cantstoptheserenity.com:

We're delighted to announce that we currently have 20 cities with confirmed
event dates! And over 30 cities registered and on board for 2009.

Check out our Calendar of Events for more details.

In addition to screening "Serenity", many cities will also be adding "Dr
Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog" to the billing! Join fellow fans and sing along
with Dr Horrible, Captain Hammer and Penny in theatrical style!

There is a still lot of room for events on the calendar, and we look forward to
announcing more as additional cities across the globe join the party.

First Round Event Registration is closing soon, so if you are thinking of
planning an event (either a Screening or an Affiliate Event) please register by
1 May 2009 to ensure your event is listed on our global merchandise.

Some events have already gone on sale, so get in quick before they sell out! As
each city starts to sell tickets, a nifty $ icon will be added to the front page
listing. We'll also make an announcement in our Forum and via Twitter.

CSTS 2009 merchandise is also available for pre-order in many cities.
In most cases, orders close on 15 May 2009 so act fast! Check individual event
websites for further details and to view the range of merchandise available in
each city.

With your help, we're off to a great start. Yet, there's more we can all do to
help.

As Joss has said, "…it's no longer enough to be a decent person." His
inspiration urges us to do something - to do more. So if you, or someone you
know, can help out the Cause, we need you now more than ever.

Donate time and/or items to a local event near you. If you're able, step up and
host a screening or an affiliated event (Dr Horrible screenings would be great
for this.) Or, donate money via our Facebook Causes page which will go straight
to Equality Now.

Let's work together to make 2009 truly shine!

       It is that marvelous time of year, when the chapter (of the fan
organization) that is the primary host organization of M.O.O.N.  CON, mounts its
second most ambitious project, and the primary fundraiser for operational
capital to keep M.O.O.N.  CON alive.
      STARBASE REVOLUTION, southwest Wisconsin's ONLY organized Star Trek fan
club chapter, headquartered in Muscoda, Wisconsin, participates, along with the
rest of the local community, in the annual Muscoda Morel Mushroom Festival. 
During that weekend, "Revolution" operates a vendor booth on the grounds of the
"Railroad Park" in Muscoda, selling small item baked goods, such as muffins and
cupcakes, individual sized Pineapple-Upside-Down-Cakes, and cookies and such. 
We also offer an array of home-made, or hand assembled craft items, for sale.
      Most years we are short-handed, as far as personnel goes, on the days of
the Festival itself.  We usually can manage the preparation leading up to that
weekend, but during the weekend, we are all spread a bit thin, and have trouble
"manning" the booth, adequately, during our hours of operation.  We can always
use help.  This year, doubly so, as we have lost some of our crew to illness, or
even death.  We need help twice as bad, this year.
      Therefore, we are taking this opportunity to announce that we are in need
of personnel to man the booth at the Muscoda Morel Mushroom Festival, Saturday
and Sunday, May 16th and 17th, 2009.  The hours are 9 a.m. to about 6 p.m. each
day.  Anybody who is interested in helping to make M.O.O.N. CON a reality, and
could possibly give up some time that weekend, to help us out, would be welcome
in the booth.  We encourage all of our Con Com folks, those who have jumped on
the M.O.O.N. CON bandwagon, to consider helping out.  We realize that most of
our folks are not a bit of a distance away from our chapter headquarters, and
while they are not strictly members of the chapter, they might be reluctant to
participate at this level.  Your help is needed, would be appreciated, and could
make M.O.O.N. CON more of a success.
      To "RSVP," ask directions, obtain information, or just to ask a question,
contact us at starbaserevolution2002@..., or write P. O. Box 174, Muscoda, WI. 
53573, or call the 24 hour cell phone line, (608) 293-3497.  Thanks for your
help.
