For Sale: USB Flash Drive Bracelets

Hey Everyone,

We’ve decided to put a limited number of the flash drive bracelets up on our eBay Page. Sales from this item will benifit Equality Now.

These are 8GB USB flash drives in the form of a wearable bracelet. In addition to being cool storage devices, the drives also come preloaded with some cool music from Marian Call, Seanan McGuire, Vixy & Tony, Patrick Donahue, and Shawn Tutt.

These debuted at WonderCon 2012 in March and will be sold again at Comic Con (provided we still have them) in July of this year.

Prizes for WonderCon 2012

Hey Browncoats!

We’ve got a great selection of prizes for our chopstick pull game this year at WonderCon. For those who don’t know how this works, we put 50 pairs of chopsticks in a box. For a suggested donation of $5.00, pull a set out and if the tip is marked with tape, you win a prize. Even if you don’t win, you get to keep the chopsticks. 10 out of every 50 chopsticks will be marked, and there are three different “tiers” of prizes. One lucky winner of each round will win a top tier prize, 3 will win a medium prize, and 6 will win a basic prize.

All proceeds from the chopstick pull game go to The Trevor Project, this year’s charity selected by Sean Maher

So what have we got for prizes? Well, you could win:

Wondercon 2012

The California Browncoats will be running fan tables at WonderCon 2012 in Anaheim, CA in March. While we will certainly miss our annual appearance in the Bay Area, we look forward to meeting new friends at the Anaheim Convention Center. Hopefully the construction on the Moscone Center in San Francisco will make for an even greater WonderCon in 2013!

We will be fundraising for The Trevor Project, the charity selected by Sean Maher. The Trevor Project is the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning youth. We are currently working out plans for Sean to stop by our booth sometime during the convention. Be sure to follow our Twitter feed (@CABrowncoats) for the latest updates.

Wondercon 2012 will once again feature the ever popular chopstick pull game. Pull a pair of chopsticks out of the treasure box, if you pull a winning pair pick a prize from some great stuff. Even if you don’t pick a winner, you get to keep the chopsticks.

CABC has teamed up with some great musicians to offer some neat Whedon themed music in a pretty cool format. Keep up with on our website, twitter feed, or Facebook page for more details.

Hope to see you there!

Be a Part of the Zombie Apocalypse!

Tuckerize: The use of a person’s name or description in an original story. Term is derived from Wilson Tucker who made a practice of using his friends’ names for minor characters in the stories.

Mira Grant (aka Seanan McGuire, NY Times bestselling author and winner of the 2010 John W. Campbell Award for best new writer) has offered to “Tuckerize” two (2) undead winners in her upcoming novella “San Diego 2014: The Final stand of the California Browncoats”

The two (2) spots will be auctioned off via eBay in order to raise money for Equality Now. There will be TWO auctions! The first auction starts November 15th and ends November 25th.  The second auction starts November 20th and ends on November 30th.

Keep an eye out here and on CABC’s Twitter.

The first auction is at Tuckerization Auction 1.

The second auction is at Tuckerization Auction 2.

• The name of the recipient of the Tuckerization will be used in the story. In the case of a highly recognizable name, or a name that the recipient would prefer not to be used in fiction, an agreed-upon alternative may be used.
• The basic physical apperance of the recipient will be used in the story
• Unless the recipient specifically requests a villainous arc, they will be presented positively by the author
• Because this is a zombie story, there are no guarentees made as to the survival of any character, whether or not they are based on a living person. the recipient can make suggestions as to the nature of their character’s death, but these may or may not be used.
• Only willing participants will be written into the story. you can bid on a tuckerization for a friend only if that friend consents to the terms above. you cannot use a tuckerization to kill off an enemy.
• In the event that San Diego 2014 is published in a physical format, the author will provide the California Browncoats with two (2) copies of the finished book, to be delivered to the recipients of the Tuckerizations at the organizations’s discretion.
