Ok....I've been looking. There are san Francisco browncoats, sandiego browncoats, Texas....ETC. I cant find any Browncoat groups in Philadelphia, the Philadelphia area, Northeast...Etc. ARE THERE ANY ORGANIZED BROWNCOAT GROUPS AROUND HERE?!? If so...tell me where, If not tell me so I can start one. Ya know members, groups, calendars, events ETC.

....Unless this is something not needed, I mean I could expand it to the tristate area. I just feel kind of secluded here in Philadelphia. PLEASE let me know with yea's or nay's if this is a good idea. I have a shiny logo figured out and everything... (Philadelphia is the home of independence...) WE NEED A BROWNCOAT GROUP!!!!! ...And I wouldnt mind starting and leading it.

Does Central-West Chester County (West Brandywine Township) count?

Grayfury,
You're not alone in Philadelphia, but it doesn't seem like there is an organized local group. I myself live in the northeastern suburbs.

Here are some groups that aren't specific to Philadelphia, but might be of some interest:
http://movies.groups.yahoo.com/group/Midatlanticbrowncoats/

http://tv.groups.yahoo.com/group/PA_browncoats/

Keep checking fireflyfans.net and http://www.brynmawrfilm.org/ for news of a midnight Serenity show in the Fall at the Bryn Mawr Film Institute. They screened it in February and supposedly may do so again around the end of September. Their manager, Ben, is a browncoat. Back in April Firefly was shown over several weeks at the Indian Valley Public Library in Telford, north of the city, and a good little group turned out for that as well. So again, at least we're not alone.

I'm here in York, only 2 hrs from Philly (originally an Upper Darby native). We have a shindig every year in Harleysville (near Neshaminy)...if ya ever want to have a meetup or anything, I'm in.

Ooooooooh, you do??? When's the next one?? (BTW, weren't you the one who came to Moonlight Rising in the Ariel paramedic get-up?)

I live in Lansdale, work in New Hope. So far as I know, there's no organised Browncoat group hereabouts, although the mini-marathons at a nearby library last spring saw an excellent turnout. And oh man, did you guys see how many people came to the SNEN screening in King of Prussia?!?!

Grayfury, whatever you've got in mind for starting an official group, count me in! I've been trying to strategise my own self, so maybe we can get the ball rolling in this thread? Love to hear some thoughts from the rest of you, too. Philly is long overdue for an official group.

If we generate any more interest here, I'll toss out a few ideas. Here's hopin'!

I'm in Exton. Earlier this year there was a midnight movie showing of Serenity at the Bryn Mawr Film Institute. One of the guys who works there is a Browncoat and set it all up. We had 120 people or something like that.

Anyway, I'd love to get a local group going.

Thanks alot Misbehavin....That rocks... I did'nt know there was a pa browncoat group, I'm joining today if they'll have me.

And as for sergeantx,steamer,slayer,kaneman and mycroftxxx.... you guys rock too. If you havnt already, join this yahoo group that Misbehavin linked... I'll be there (again, if they'll have me) I'll even host some shindigs.

I did go to the BMFI screening and met Ben (Bentor, right?) I went to the screenings in the library too ...I WANT MORE. Aside from Firefly talk, the signal, and this forum...there's not Too much to keep a browncoat active in the brainpan... It can awful lonely out here in the black.

I'm out in Coatesville, Chester County and my mom's in Delaware County.

I'm not far from the 30 bypass/202 and my house is fairly easy to get to, so I'd offer it as a meeting place too. (Long as you guys don't mind the two rugrats. )

I met Steamer at the MR convention.

I'm a member of the PA Browncoats board but haven't checked it lately. Maybe I should go check it some more!

GrayFury, PM me and we can exchange digits and see what we can come up with!
