Everyone was talking about the party last year including Mr Olmos at the panels!

[agentcabanas.livejournal.com]

Damned if that doesn't put a smile on my face. Thanks, hon. I'm really glad he made it out last year. His generosity spoke volumes.

[petzilla.livejournal.com]

A lot of people considered it the party you should not have missed last year and so very happy that he will be returning for the con this year!

[agentcabanas.livejournal.com]

Yeah, who knows if we'll get that kind of opportunity again this year (guests are on their own schedule). But it sure would be phenomenal. That man can have the mic as long as he frakking wants. We're at least trying to keep the atmosphere as fun as last year's. :)

Anyone feeling nostalgic about last year's EJO & co. speech from last year's party...I've got the whole thing here on video (http://vimeo.com/2604456). :)

[tardisian.livejournal.com]

That was amazing video! Thank you for doing that.

[agentcabanas.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! It was a huge moment for BSG fandom in general. Glad someone got it on tape. :)

[cpt-vajj.livejournal.com]

That was amazing!!

[fory-san.livejournal.com]

I will be there with Frakkin' bells on! Can't wait! ^^

[idocpro.livejournal.com]

I'll be there for sure with my TCF buds. I hope it will be okay to bring a Stormtrooper on my arm ;)

[radartybalt.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad this is happening again. Seems like a legendary party.

[alexis-davis02.livejournal.com]

I missed the party last year, but no way in frakkin hell I'm missing it this year. I'll be there with buddies.

Frak yeah! I can't wait to go. I won't be dressing up, but I'll be sure to wear a BSG related shirt.

Hello agentcabanas,
I'm a guest this year.
The associate director for the Science Track, Cherise Fung, and I were planning on doing a 10-20 minute tango performance crystallizing the interaction between Baltar and Six. We were initially planning on using the Science Track room, but this seems like the perfect venue. (No charge, included in my "guest duties" and her "staff duties".)

If you like the idea but don't think it fits as part of the BSG party, we can work it into another time, just let me know.

If you think this is a good match, please
-let me know ASAP (you can reply directly here, or to zachary@raidingpartygames.com )
-add a tidbit of information to the announcement above and/or if you're doing a reannounce, and
-let the American Media track know so they can include said information.

Thank you for your time,
Zachary Anderson

We are attending this year--can't wait! LOVE the artwork!

[utkari02.livejournal.com]

This. :D

Thanks for posting the video. I came in on the last half hour, and still managed to snap a slew of photos of the folks in attendance:

What is the time that you usually kick everyone out and close down the room? Does it go until 1am? 2am?

Anal!me would like to know for my schedule. :)

[agentcabanas.livejournal.com]

We usually get a tight schedule, so count on it ending at 12 AM unless I hear otherwise. That's how it's been the last two parties. Nevermind that we wish it was longer... :)

[utkari02.livejournal.com]

Wow, only two hours. :(

Thanks for the quick response!! :D

I spent time between working the Shindig and then hanging at the BSG party. Meeting EJO and getting a photo with him after his speech was truly an AWESOME moment in all of my years at D*C. I'll be there.

This one is my Favorite Pic right here, http://www.flickr.com/photos/patcave/2829418002/in/set-72157607113470182/ Makes me wonder if Spartans are still allowed to come to the BSG party after smoking you all in a fitness show down. :D

[agentcabanas.livejournal.com]

It's hard out there in space for deckhands when all there is to eat is ramen and algae. ;)

[hobanwfan.livejournal.com]

This is the most rockin' party at D-Con, imo.

[tropicanaomega.livejournal.com]

How early do people usually start lining up for this?? Sounds EPIC.

[lyndasty.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to pull together a Colonial Day outfit (a la President Roslin or one of the Quorom/cabniet members) but, regardless, I am SO THERE this year!! I heard all about last year's party and immediately started kicking myself for missing out.

[spacepug.livejournal.com]

We'll have a large contingent of 13th Colonists showing up, in costume. Really looking forward to it! We've been talking about this one for months...

[hobanwfan.livejournal.com]

The Fleet party is going to FOUR, that's right, FOUR hours long this year.

[eclectic-spirit.livejournal.com]

Will I get laughed out of the room for not having on a costume? I waited until the last minute to decide to come to Dragon*Con, and this will be my first one. I didn't have time to actually do a costume. :(

[cpt-vajj.livejournal.com]

I missed it... unfortunately I got sick on Saturday. Do you think there will be a colonial fleet event in 2010?

Anyhow, is there a colonial fleet fandom or some such as that on the internet or LJ?

[tavariel.livejournal.com]

I second cpt_vajj...will there be a Colonial Fleet Party in 2010? The American Sci-Fi Media schedule for 2010 doesn't include it... ;____;
