Thank you, WickedWren...received and replied!
That email is usually the best way to get in touch with me...unless, of course, you knock on my front door.

Forgive me, I'm so new here I'm green, but I have some questions...
My hubby has been a gamer for ages past and has been to several cons and since my Ma just moved to Georgia we'd thought we'd try for Dragon Con, so when I saw something about a Browncoat march, I got all excited, but then saw all the stuff about uniformity I was a bit put off. It's good that ya'll are so enthused about dressin' the part but isn't being an Independant all about being anti-uniformity?
My hubby still wants to march and show his support for the best show on Earth but do you have to wear a uniform? Can you march as another
character?

Is there anything else I should know?
BE KIND TO THE NEWBIE!

Sometimes the good guys wear brown and sometimes the can't afford uniforms:(

Iremist, first off, welcome to the 'Verse! Or at least to FFF.net. Glad to see you here!

No, to march in the parade, you do not have to be a member of the 76th. If you'll contact WickedWren (she posted a few lines up...clink on her screen name, and you'll be able to send her a private message) and she'll fill you in on the marching.
The 76th was created to represent a Batallion of Independent soldiers, therefore we are striving for maximum uniformity. This is the first time there will be an organized group of Independent soliders at D*C. You do not have to join to march in the parade...feel free to be whoever you'd like to be! I dressed as Mal last year, and most of the rest of the BDH's were represented; some several times over.

I hope that settles your fears. The 76th is an organized group with requirements to march as a member. The SouthEastern BrownCoats are the ones to contact if you are interested in marching in the parade as anyone else.

Thoughts on Boots;

My favorate Civil War Sutler has some excellent and inexpensive boots you can see at
http://www.blockaderunner.com/Catalog/catpg14a.html

Note that they are also carrying WWII GI repros at a very reasonable price. If curious, scroll to

WW II G.I. DOUBLE BUCKLE BOOTS

I have several pairs of boots, including high-quality knee-high russet (light brown) set which is pricey - $220 - but you've rarely seen this quality.
Source for those interested is "Fall Creek Sutlery" at
http://www.fcsutler.com/fcshoes.asp

The russet are special order.
Fall Creek also carries a full line of 'boot grease'.

In Service,

Q

Don't you worry now, Iremist. There are plenty of non-76ers that march in the parade. The guy last year dressed as Wash with the spike through his chest was pretty damn funny.

Hell, I have a picture of a Mal in his pretty floral bonnet.

The idea is to come out and have fun! The 76th won't ignore you, just 'cause you're one of THOSE.

Kidding!

Iremist- I sent you a PM, don't know if you got it. Apparently the board has taken a dislike to me sending PM's, even though I seem to get them just fine. So if you want to drop me a line with your email I'm at
serenityr AT gmail DOT com

I'm now done with the slight thread highjack...

WickedWren, I want to know what you did to FFF.net that you can't send PM's anymore!

Iremist, I should have said what Boomer stated...nobody will ignore you if you don't march with the 76th. We are, after all, Browncoats! Just decided to band together is all.

The board knows I've been cheating on her with a Dr. Who board. I'm a sinful little Browncoat

Do you think flowers and chocolates might win me back my PM ability? Or do I need to figure out how to digitize Nathan and send him in to beg on my behalf?

OK, really done with the thread highjacking. Must find food.
