Are you a Serenity geek?

I am a proud Browncoat here on the rim in eastern NC. Trying my hardest to convert others and embracing my Browncoat geekiness proudly.

I proudly carry my Serenity dog tag on my keychain and my daughter wears her Blue Sun t-shirt out and about. No one made a remark about it until one day in a Chinese restaurant paying our bill the young guy running the cash register said that the characters were correct. Of course had to tell him about the series. Maybe a Chinese-American convert one day?

I too am a FF/S geek, and damn proud of it! I own two identical Serenity logo t-shirts from hot-topic. One is still new, never been worn for when the other one I wear is worn out. I try to wear my Serenity t-shirt only when I know I'll be out in public around lots of people shopping, ballgames, etc, so as many people as possible will see the shirt, maybe recognize me as a fellow browncoat, or maybe just make them think about renting the movie in the video store sometime.

It's funny, the first day I wore the shirt, a waitress at IHOP came running up to me and was just gushing about how she loved the movie, but had never watched the BDS! That same night, a woman at the checkout register at Micheal's (I was with my wife) asked if the movie was any good! Since then I haven't had any more comments, although I swore I heard someone say "Browncoat" outloud at Costco one day on my way out the door, but I never figured out who it was.

Am I a FF/S geek! DAMN RIGHT I AM!

My thanks to everyone thats posted.

JAYHAWK35 and NCBROWNCOAT, I hear and am with ya.I wear my Serenity "T" all the time. To the mall, hardware store out for a quick bite at a local restaurant. I've only had one person ever say something to me. The guy I bought the shirt from at Hot Topics.

It may be that some folks are just shy, or maybe they know of the show but just haven't watched any FF. I wear T-shirts most of the time around town. A lot of ppl around here do, so one with a logo on it doesn't really mean much.

I'm still waiting for the time when someone will walk up and say " Hello fellow browncoat". I'm confident it will happen.

I'm wearing at least one piece of clothing or apparel that identifies me as a Browncoat when I leave the house, even if it's just the shiny Serenity pin. The thing is, I prefer "authentic" stuff over "Fan" stuff, so I mostly own Blue Sun shirts and shirts that Jayne is wearing, as opposed to a shirt with the logo. Of course, this means that no one will recognise what it means if they aren't already a fan.
I'm not doing that because I'm ashamed of being a geek or something, I just think it's cooler.
I DO own a Janye hat, after all.

Am I a FF/S geek? You decide.

NOW I know where I should have been and what I should have been doing in my summer browncoat on June 22.

Living in Minnesota where the weather fluctuates constantly without warning, I have a summer browncoat and a winter one. The summer one is a lighter color, shorter, and is made up of pieces sewn together.

The winter one is the brown suede duster, perfect for those winter days.

I still have my badge from MarsCon 2005 because it has Firefly art and my screen name - and I've worn it at screenings.

My Con Com badges for MarsCon declare me as "Crazy Person", though. I wear it under my registered badge so I can say, "Yup, I'm a crazy person. I got a badge that says so *flip up the first badge* right here."

In my mind, it's a reference to Shindig, paraphrasing Mal "I got stabbed, right here" combined with Mal telling Nandy, "Lady, you're my kind of crazy."

Am I a Serenity Geek? Hell Yes, although it would be more accurate to say I'm a Firefly geek, because that would cover ALL the bases.

Doing the impossible makes us mighty

A FF/S geek is someone who's old enough to ask that question.


PS, If you are, I definately am.

Definitely a Firefly / Serenity geek. Damn proud of it too.

I proudly wear my Firefly and Serenity tees no matter where I go, much to my wife's chagrin sometimes. She's a fan, just not to the degree that I am. I also walk around with cargo pocketful of Serenity & Firefly fliers from 11th Hours site that I will tack up or hand out to people I talk to about the series or movie.

I may be thought of as a geek by some, but to me I'm just a loyal browncoat trying to keep my favorite ship in the air.
