Description
A Weekend at Southdown Abbey

Come visit Austin, Texas as it is transformed into Southdown Abbey on Persephone from the Firefly and Serenity 'Verse.

Join us as we celebrate Shepherd Book's journey before becoming a crew member on Serenity. On Friday we start with an Abbey Fashion Show, showcasing Asian-inspired designs, while offering Sereniteas' blended teas, as well as a variety of Dim Sum.

Saturday will find us having a costume picnic on the Abbey grounds and then a dance in the Fellowship Hall with music by The Bedlam Bards and food made primarily from produce grown at the Abbey!

We'll end this shiny shindig Sunday afternoon with Serenity on the Big Screen at our local Alamo Drafthouse Lake Creek.

The best part - all proceeds from this event will go to support The Al Wooten Jr. Heritage Center of which Ron Glass, our Shepherd Book, is a Board Member.

We are looking for volunteers to help plan and run Lone Star Shindig. We need assistance in the following areas: cooking and picnic prep, decorations to turn Grace Methodist Church into Shepherd Book's Southdown Abbey on Persephone, clean up crew for after the events on Saturday night, street and e-street team to spread the word about the event, and publications help to provide printed materials. For more details about these positions, visit www.lonestarshindig.com/volunteer.php. If you want to volunteer, but don't see the perfect position available, please contact us at: volunteer@austinbrowncoats.com, so we can find a place that best suits your skills. Help us save the world, one shindig at a time.

Tickets are available at our website, www.lonestarshindig.com. Tickets are $25/person if paid via check or money order. You can also buy your tickets online via Paypal for $26/person. Tickets for just the Friday night Fashion show are $5.
