I'd put up with more than just leathery smells to see your amazing brown coat!

Thanks! And, hey, topped with one of those cunning Jayne hats, it'll be the tops in fashion!

Tristan

Been out for a few weeks and finally found time to jump on. Between school starting and going through rehearsals, time has been hard to find. Just wanted to let you know that the rest of the costumes look great. Wish I could see them in person in Atlanta, but that is not an option at this time. Aagin, the pics are great.

Simon: What if he(Mal) tells you to kill me?
Zoe: (without hesitation) I kill you.

I was going through my hats last night, assigning them owners and seeing who I still needed to make hats for (just too ANOTHER order yesterday for 2 more). I have a very shiny one picked out just for you.

Lysander! Good to see you again! Yes, it does sound like you are busy...I've tried not to bother you, but if you had been silent for too much longer, you would have gotten another email!
Thanks for the comments on the costumes. I do wish you were joining us, though. I'm pretty sure there will be plenty of pictures when we get back...along with stories!

Serenity, thank you! I really can't wait to proudly wear that hat!

Here's a Browncoat vs. the world funny for all of you:
My wife knows about the 'Verse, as does my brother and his wife. They don't quite understand my devotion, but they accept it with a smile. My parents, however, have never known me to get this involved in something like this before (cancelled tv show, the people still involved), so they're not quite sure what to think. Top that off with me being 35, and their confusion deepens. I have been a costumer for a long time, and have created many pieces in the past they like. The Browncoats are no exception. So, picture me, in the costume shop with my stepfather, showing off the coats. He likes the coat, thinks I did a good job. Then this question pops out of his mouth, "What's the significance of the brown coat?" ...um...where do I start? He had never seen, let alone heard of Firefly, but from seeing the costumes I have been building, he had an idea it was someting like a Western in space (). I tried to explain to him that the Browncoat was the symbol of the Independents in the 'Verse, a universally recognized badge of people who stood up for what they believed and would not back down even after defeat. I had explained Firefly to him briefly in the past when I first had the idea to build coats to sell, so he had a rough idea. During this conversation, I mentioned that there were something like 20,000 people registered at this site (he knows I belong to the forum...he's not sure why, but he knows). This is the funny part...he says "So, you'll be selling 20,000 of these?"...he's always keeping an eye on my many "business" ventures.

Thought y'all'd get a bit of a kick out of that. I don't think I'll be turning him into a Browncoat, but he at least understands!

lol. You never know! At the end of all things, you might end up selling 20,000 coats!

I feel like I've made that many hats, though it's probably only been something like 30.

I've started knitting hats during my lunch break. I've had lots of people ask me what on earth I'm knitting with that crazy orange yarn. They all know about my Firefly obsession (it's kind of hard to not notice, with my Firefly wallpaper and Serenity keychain and how I'm always listening to the soundtracks and whatnot.

I got tired of trying to explain the hats and now I just tell them that selling these hats is funding my trip to England and they let me alone.

20,000 coats...that's a lot of needles to go through...thanks for sending me into a tiny little spot of zen bliss for a moment while thinking of that!
Oooh, and those 20,000 coat wearers will need cunning hats to keep their ears warm!

Tristan, WOW, no really

WOW!!

I mean, you told me you had experience with this kind of thing--obviously! You've done a fanstastic job! I LOVE the Mal costume, and the armor is flat out amazing!! I made a cape the other day and I thought I was somethin' else (not really, since I've seen what Seryn and CMS can do).

You guys are going to have a blast at D*C!

Wacky fun!
