Houston, myself, and I know what you mean. I spent four years at the University of Kansas in graduate school. It's in northern KS and I nearly froze my butt off walking to class every day. Of course, my sweet revenge came in August when I was the only person on the golf course when it was 95 degrees.

Ah Houston, my aunt stays there. Thats where I fly into everytime I come home. VERY BIG! lol. Oh just thinking about the heat makes me miss it! Already today it has rained, hailed, sun came out, hailed some more, and now it is a perfect spring day. I expect some more light rain and a few downpours before dinner! lol. Though I must say I do not miss the humidity! You are welcome to that!
Love, Ally

Well, I'm working out in Stephenville right now, about and hour southwest of Ft. Worth. Sorry about the hail. I'm sitting here with a terrible sunburn from yesterday's yardwork.
The humidity's not so bad once you grow some gills.

Hi folks, just thought i'd pitch in, I'm a londoner although admittedly i'm at uni at warwick (near coventry) half the year, I only got into firefly in the past week or two after seeing serenity on dvd during which time i've watched all the episodes 3 times through + all the extras. Is there much by way of meetings for UK firefly fans?
Mal: Looks like we got here just in the nick of time, what does that make us?
Zoe: Big damn heroes sir

Yep, I'm a UK browncoat!!! I first went to see Serenity, then I bought the Firefly boxset and I absolutely love it!!! I've managed to convert my sister, my mum and one of my friends and I am working on the rest. Unfortunately I'm the only one who is completely obsessed so I have no-one to talk to about it endlessly with.

So I know there are a ton of UK Browncoats because Serenity reached number 1 here in our box offices but so far I have seen little evidence of said masses. I know there is the browncoat webpage for us UK fans, but doesn't seem like much ever happens. This could be my complete ignorance of events or the fact that I am up in Scotland and am slightly removed from the goings on down in England. So yeah. Just wanted to see if there are others of you out there!
Yup, we do exist, I'm a Browncoat from Glasgow, but I understand what you mean about feeling left out of things. Most of the conventions and stuff are all held south of the Border, but fear not, us Scots are about, we just need to rally ourselves!
I don't care what you believe in, just believe in it.

I too am in Glasgow and you are sooo right...most of the Serenity stuff takes place down over the Borders! Shame really, but then again it is easier to get to then say if you lived in the states and an event was happening across country there! lol

I guess it is a lot easier to get around Britain than it is to get round the States. I won't tell you the journey I have to undertake for my hol this year!!
Still doesn't help if you have to worry about getting time off work so you can travel to all the events.
Are you living near the city centre? And have you heard about any Browncoat activities?
I don't care what you believe in, just believe in it.
