Guys, I promise that this will be the last time, at least for awhile...:

SUNDAY OCTOBER 10th: If you live in Melbourne, this is the day to come out to Lygon St Carlton and meet other Firefly fans in the Melbourne area. Please go to http://firefly.meetup.com/161/events for all the details - preferably, join up and RSVP to this event, and then you'll be informed about other meetups that happen afterward.

Looking forward to seeing some other Melbournian Browncoats!

hello,

I am in Sydney to. What about arranging a Sydney Shindig sometime? Any ideas anyone? I already have a costume :)

Hi All!

Sydneysider here.

I'd like to invite you all to http://forums.bducommunity.com/ where other Australian Firefly (and Buffyverse fans) have commenced a discussion of Firefly episode by episode. We're doing one a fortnight.

This website has only been running for only a week - it superseded Buffydownunder.com, which sadly closed last week after 4 years.

So right now, we're trying to resurrect the discussion we'd started on the first 4 episodes of Firefly on the old BDU website before we move forward. Please feel free to visit and share your thoughts about the episodes, or anything to do with Firefly.

I'm also looking for some lost BDU members, to ask them to come back and rejoin the Firefly discussions. We miss you!

So Spikeygoodness, nubs, VeraCobb and willowisadorable - and anyone else I may have missed - if you read this, come to http://forums.bducommunity.com/!

Cheers, KatieLouOz

Yay we have new boards?! That's great news KatieLouOz. I was quite flummoxed when I saw BDU had closed down. I'll surf over there now. And I'll let SpikeyG know.


With regards to the Perth Meetup - we didn't have it last time, as I was bogged down with Uni stuff. I've spent a bit of time the last couple of weeks trying to sort out the site, so hopefully next months will take off. Saturday Nov 6 I think it is. Uni will be over by then, so my friend and I will certainly be there.
All Perthians - go join!


Can we start getting sexed already?

Finally found this post.

Sydney Browncoat here!!

Slowly converting people but would love to meet up with other Browncoats from Sydney, I have already joined up at meetup.com.

Anybody have any idea if and when Serenity is going to be released in Australia?

Also anybody know the cheapest place to get a DVD set? Read somewhere in this thread that they were selling them at K-mart, might check it out. I want a copy to lend out to friends.

Colski, I know that both JB Hi-fi and Big W have stocked the DVDs at at some point. It wouldn't surprise me if HMV did too, or K-mart or Target. Good luck!

Hey, another Browncoat from CHCH, eh? Awesome, I was beginning to wonder if there was any others out there. Im thinking of trying to organise a viewing of Firefly or a lil' shindig of our own before the movie comes out. If you'd like to help, or are interested, drop me a line, konstantine_vi@hotmail.com :)

Thanks
K.

I'm not too sure, but did you notice where I'm from, or does the name kinda give it away?

KIWI!!!!!!!!

Well, technically Kiwi on an Aussie passport but I've been in the North Island for the last eleven years.

Frankly, I'm surprised, where are all the NZ'ers??? I know for a fact that firefly was on (granted at a bizarre time but hey, what else is new).

I'm in the UK and have been since Feb so I've been spoilt by the massive English fan base and the drool worthy conventions. I'm dreading going back down under (in November) but maybe I can convert people at uni, who knows how far we can go with enough converts?

Anyway, you can add me to the list of antipodean firefly fans
