This is Thread 59 of the adventures of the Sereni-Tree!

For “The Guide to the Clubhouse / Treehouse / Sereni-Tree Threads”, telling our story and providing links to all such threads:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=11877

Early in this link is the very long post containing “TheRealMe’s Guide to the Sereni-Tree, V7”. This post is a description of the ship. There follows in the same thread another post describing the crew and passengers.

http://fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=27832

Here is a summary of our previous thread, located at:

http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=28812

Uh, well, we came back to Earth-That-Still-Is and had our third anniversary party. We got a few old-timers to show up (Malicious, Montanagirl, Ash). There was also a subplot of creating Big Damn Hero clones to act as cabanaboys. The funny thing is, we once DID have Big Damn Hero clones aboard the ship. We started talking about forming a band. Mai had a friend named Flower come aboard with ReaverCowBob (???). Most everyone else was singing and getting drunk.

Oh, about the band. We once had a band, the "Fireflies". It had its own thread once, which is listed somewhere in TheRealMe's list of threads as a peripheral thread.

Because of this, our ship the Sereni-Tree has always had a soundstage and a dancehall up on the third floor of the East Wing, complete with a huge 1970s era disco ball.

Now, for another issue. We have been without significant peril for a while, now. I suspect that perilous adventures will have to happen soon, but maybe it will be on the world where we perform our first sold-out stadium concert!!!

So, what part do YOU want in our new band? And do we want to think of a new name?

Ooo, music. Well, I guess I could tinker the ivories a little (note - no elephants were harmed in the making of my piano).

Now I will need to clear a little space for it.

"Sweet!"

Soul begins to tune his guitar as SimonWho plunks the appropriate keys on the piano.

And, no, the strap is not made out of leather so no cows were harmed in the making. I'm sad to say though that as the strap is Naugahyde, and as such, several Nauga were, in fact, harmed.

A moment of silence please for the Nauga's....

The Problematics? *stifled snort*

I remember The Fireflies! Good times...
(Edit: TRM -- "The Fireflies" thread happened back in my lurking daze. As SoulOfSerenity said below, "Whoa...flashbacks!!!")

Karel, does that mean that you are finally joining us? Should I put "Karel" on the crew list? Or is this another editorial comment!

I checked the Fireflies thread. It actually pre-dated the first clubhouse thread, but not by much.

http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=5389

Here is a list of the people in the band then:

KGB - Dictator for life, Drums
Ebo - Lead Guitar
Howdy - Lead Vocals
Cybersnark - Keyboards
Soulofserenity - Rhytham guitar and backup vocals
Gunhand - Bass
Thatwierdgirl - piano and/or any of those other things she plays
Static - Sax & backup vocals
Maugwai - Flute
Annik - finger symblos, spoons, and offical band tai chi leader
Wren - triangle
Noocyte - Penny-whistle
Astiana - shimmying and backup vocals
Insight Spinner - belly dancer/ shimmier
Fireflew - banjo
Flametree - piano accordion
Alien Zookeeper - washboard
Malicious - Dumb ass stick that sounds like its raining (understudy)
Delia - Official first fan
Bernadette - First fanatic fan
Nur - First official groupie and groupie recruiter
Monkeytail - groupie numero dos
and of course Whedonesque doing our amazing costumes!
(everybody thank ebo for the list. thaaaanks, ebo.)

Hmmm... Looks like Soul is the only one still left. Also, as I recall, I became Head Roadie with the help of my robot Sparky, who of course did all the real work.
