\"Browncoat<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Albuquerque Browncoats<\/a> are very excited to host the Browncoat Ball 2012<\/a> weekend in Albuquerque, New Mexico,\u00a0September 14-16.<\/p>\n

Events<\/a> start on Friday with our welcome reception and Unification Day Renunciation\u00a0Party<\/a> (dress as your favorite character from the ‘Verse). If you are into leather (and who isn’t?) there will also be a special activity<\/a> for everyone which will include a nice parting gift. A little something to make the folks back home even more jealous<\/em> of your trip.<\/p>\n

Saturday you can select from\u00a0three different activity tracks (Jayne’s Leather<\/a>,\u00a0The Tram Job<\/a>,\u00a0and Battle of Acoma Valley<\/a>), check out our Gallery of ‘Verse Collectables and Creations<\/a>, and then proceed to the Ball<\/a> in the evening. Sunday, play Tall Card and other games, and enjoy famous New Mexico breakfast burritos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Get your Browncoat Ball tickets<\/a>, pre-order your limited-edition T-shirt, and be sure to book your hotel room<\/a> as well. We\u2019ve secured a room block for the weekend, and a few days beyond.<\/p>\n

Home of the\u00a0ancient Pueblo\u00a0Browncoat rebellion against an overbearing Coquistador-Missionary Alliance, New\u00a0Mexico\u00a0is rich\u00a0with big skies, natural wonders, history, art, culture, food and entertainment. The\u00a0Albuquerque Browncoats have been active for seven years hosting regular shindigs, CSTS screenings, and more. We have a wonderful weekend in store, which should be una fiesta mas grande<\/em>, as we say\u00a0around here.<\/p>\n

Be sure to join our social networks on\u00a0Facebook<\/a> and Twitter (coming soon) to be kept in the loop for news and updates.<\/p>\n

We look forward to meeting all of you soon. The 2012 BCB is in less than a month! Buy your ticket today!<\/a><\/p>\n
