This year the Browncoat Ball, a shindig based on, well, "Shindig," is being hosted by the San Francisco Browncoats so you know it's going to be great. Dinner parries, tours of the Bay, even a visit to Chinatown is in store for you. September 22-24, and you can head here for details.

But even if you can't make it, you can still support it and pick up some sweet merchandise at the same time. The official design for the Ball is by Adam of Black Market Beagles, and that's all I needed to hear. Check it out, on posters, T-shirts, bags, and more.
