We’re excited to announce our first foothold in the Southeastern United States at the TrekTrax convention in Atlanta, GA this weekend!
From Friday, the 25th, to Sunday, the 27th, the Star Trek-themed event will also feature a Firefly programming track. There’ll be costuming, games, door prizes, giveaways–not to mention us, too! The local Browncoats running the track will have a petition on hand and form letters for you to make your voice be heard to the Powers that Be at SpaceX that, when the Dragon has its first manned crew, the ship should be named Serenity!
See you there!

You’ll find it under “Resources” above, or at the link below.

He has written at great length about this topic in his many books, describing several awkward and sometimes even frightening encounters with fans whose zeal exceeded their consideration for his privacy and personal space. If you haven’t read his books, you should. They are compelling reading and his prose is every bit as entertaining as his complex and imaginative lyrics. I will warn you, though, that his anecdotes will make you stop and reconsider what it means to be a fan. Continue Reading
