Howdy, from San Marcos my ownself. So Austin would be shiny for me (or San Antonio). I've converted at least one here who's on the verge of browncoating.

Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

I have been trying to convert my sister, who lives in Marble Falls, but the local video store hasn't even heard of Firefly.:(

Houston. With this thread being 2 years old you'd think there would be a shit load more Texicans to have responded.
Anyway "Keep Flyin'".

I'm the one who started this thread nearly two years ago, and I'm still in Waco. Have met a few other Browncoats but not many. I know you're out there...but where?

I've met artcat and her brother Lost Thought, and others at a shindig near Austin about a year and a half ago, met others at two different Serenity screenings in Austin last year, and tried to get a meetup group started here but it never gelled.

I'm definitely up for a trip to Houston in June.

It will be great to see you again hun

folks I know the Dallas crew is active they are a shiny group (roadtripped up to shindig with em once)

www.dallasbrowncoats.com

Austin has a yahoo group ( I think) I know several come down and join us from College Station every so often as well.

Yall (well ok all browncoats) are welcome at our June LoneStar SHindig (well yall are always welcome but this is gonna be a big one!)

www.apollocon.org click here for the dates, umm last year they had quite a few technical panels going with the NASA guys running em, Houston crew will be on some panels as well (that is still being worked out)

the Party officially begins that Friday we have a party suite reserved for the whole weekend. Friday night is a Tea ceremony meet and greet, food looking like it escaped from shindig, light stuff like fruit, strawberries being a must have, and "some kind of hot cheese over there"

there will also be a costume contest later that weekend. if folks come into town early, notify the Houston board, www.houstonbrowncoats.com we will make sure to meet up with you and give you the tour or schedule you your very own train job!

one of the Houston crew has reserved several hotel rooms I think she still has some crash space available,yall can also use our board to figure out your roommate arrangements if you need one/two or three :)

WE are hoping to have a big presence at apollocon it is very kind of them to let us do this, and please remember there will be browncoat oriented stuff at the con

Thanks for the Dallas Browncoat link. I'll have to check that out. I'm a fairly new Browncoat and hadn't found them yet.

As for shindigs, I'd definitely haul to Austin for one, especially if the Alamo ever does another Firefly marathon like they did last year (I can not believe I hadn't found the 'verse at that point, or I SO would have been there!). And might come to Houston in June--never been to a con, but Firefly has convinced me I might want to try it.

Glad to see the Texans crawling out of the black to say hello!

MAL: We're still flying.
SIMON: That's not much.
MAL: It's enough.

I have never been to con either, but as one of the leaders of the Houston crew I am going this year!

It ought to be a blast 3 days of shindigging!

Shiners and shindigs.
How else are you supposed to do it?

Wash: Yeah, but psychic? That sounds like science fiction.
Zoë: You live on a spaceship, dear.
Wash: So?

A recent Browncoat recruit reporting - I'm near Waco (about 60 miles SE - near Lake Limestone, back in the woods at a little place I like to call Serenity, TX).
I'm a fan of pretty much all of Joss Whedon's work...but Firefly/Serenity has to be my favorite.

Glad to see so many interested people. I still can't understand why this great program isn't still on tv today - all the shows I like usually get shot down to make room for a stupid reality show....aaaagggggggaaaa!!!

count me in

suggestion for yall waco folks while yall are all watching this thread I suggest yall use this thread to organize a shindig in Waco, just simple meetup at a restaurant thats easy to find or something.

Once you have had one meetup its easier to have more and get organized

the biggest thing is spotting each other at the shindig location that first time. where clothing that is easy to identify folks as browncoats.
