**cue impromptu dance party**  
We have 500 people watching this comm.

Let me say it again: We have 500 people watching this comm. And 442 members.

On May 6, 2012, when this bar was opened, we had 4 (and yes, those four consisted of your beloved mods who saw a little film called Avengers and had some feelings and just wanted a place to find some fic and geek out.)

So, in honor of this momentous occasion, I hereby declare it to be Friday one day early. Bring me your squee, your flail, your randomness, your Renner Problems, your Scarlett Feelings, your team!shawarma love, your pics, your gifs, your thinky thoughts, your what-the-heck-ever you like. Today is a day of jubilee, my friends.

I love everyone in this bar.

Oooo... I wonder if we could utilize hangouts or somesuch?

(Ok, honest? One of, if not *the best* experience of my life was sitting in a room with about 70 other Scapers, watching a first-run episode of Farscape at the very first ScaperCon. You have not LIVED until you have been crowded together around a sports bar TV in a bar YOU HAVE ALL TAKEN OVER watching something like that together. It was just... I have no words. Nothing does it justice.)

I have all kinds of starry-eyed dreams of some kind of a C/N fan-run con someday. Even if it's the "we'll all get rooms in the same hotel some place and have a giant weekend-long room-party" type we used to do back in the day.

We should totally try to arrange something like that. Like, comment if you're from this country/state/city and want to try to meet up...

I AM ALL IN!


I am pretty sure we scared the bejeezus out of the bartender/wait-staff. They really didn't know what to make of the six-foot long plush trout, and when the con-organizers announced during the commercial break that we were actually going to get webchats over the weekend to do Q&A sessions with the Farscape cast? YOU HAVE NO IDEA THE VOLUME. IT GOT FRAKKING LOUD UP IN THERE! :D

LOL, I have a seriously awesomesauce fans in a bar story, but it's best told in person... I'll save it for the meetups. But suffice to say, everyone in the bar was listening to our conversation. Hee!

There was a seriously 'shippy moment in that ep (it was part 3 of "Look at the Princess" in season 2) and I was sitting with all the people from the J/A 'shipper list I was on at the time. Oh, the flailing. And then later that weekend one of my BFFs managed to make Anthony Simcoe fall backwards over the couch with the power of her cleavage. ::fond memories::

Hee, the power of the cleavage! I come from Star Trek fandom. And the conchair once let me ride along to the airport and pick up Garrett Wang (Voyager's Ensign Harry Kim) solely based in the rather impressive cleavage I had in a certain Victoria's Secret bodysuit.

(Never got started watching Farscape, although I've heard VERY good things about it.)

Farscape is good in a lot of the same ways that Avengers is good. And it's seriously effed up and trippy as hell and wonderful. :D

I watched the whole four seasons of Farscape in about two months thanks to all my Stargate peeps telling me about it. I finally had to watch it! I strongly recommend it. In fact, I bought the whole thing on DVD halfway through the watch because Netflix couldn't get it to me fast enough!

Oh, Sweet Zombie Crickets... and you're not still broken on the floor somewhere? Did you ever recover? ;)

(I can't imagine going through that show that quickly... on the other hand, I did pretty much the same thing with seasons 3-5 of Supernatural, so.)

I was in a coma for like two weeks and I still haven't fully figured out what was going on but it's still too fresh to watch again! I was hoping to be able to write fic for the fandom but that didn't happen. *grins* One day... one day I'll watch again and I'll be able to write fic!
[identity profile] xcziel.livejournal.com on August 24th, 2012 07:36 am (UTC)
And we will be here waiting to READ that fic!

*cues up Peacekeeper Wars for re-watch*

We could totally make that happen you know. ::thinky face ::

Is there any place that is central? A poll to see where the majority of people are? Or just some place really cool... and cheap. And cool.

*nods* We can totally make this happen.
