Join us for the 3rd annual Lone Star Shindig at FenCon IV for some Shiny Shindiggery! Costume contests, screenings, merchandise, panels, games, and much more.

Please check the official website at http://www.flying-dreams.com/lonestar/ for more information.


FenCon is excited to welcome the Browncoats and the Lone Star Shindig to the Metroplex. In conjunction with FireflyDFW, we've scheduled all sorts of shiny events to appeal to fans from casual to hardcore. To join in, just follow these simple steps:


  • The first step is to get your FenCon membership so you can participate all the fun we'll be having this weekend.
  • The second step is to reserve your hotel room so you're just steps away from the Shindig suite and the rest of the convention.
  • The third step is to check out the official Lone Star Shindig website for news, updates, and other information.

Jarrod Davis:

(Jarrod Davis at IMDB) Jarrod served as a digital artist on both Firefly and Serenity. He was born in Odessa, Texas, and raised in Covington, Oklahoma. J-Rod, as he's known to his friends, attended Oklahoma State University in Stillwater until he dropped out to pursue CG as a career. He ended up working for Newtek, makers of the Lightwave software he has used for many of his impressive list of projects. These include Eureka, Drive, Van Helsing, 24, Enterprise, and the 2003 Battlestar Galactica mini-series.

Bedlam Bards

Bedlam Bards:

(BedlamBards.com) The Bedlam Bards are a duo that specializes in vigorous performances of traditional music at festivals and conventions around the country. Their members include Hawke on guitar, bodhran, bones, pennywhistle, and voice; and Cedric on fiddle, mandola, and voice. Together, they have released three albums: Take Out the Trash, Furious Fancies, and their most recent album, On the Drift, which features songs about "Firefly" and "Serenity." The Bedlam Bards return to FenCon as part of Lone Star Shindig 2007.
