Ni Hao fellow Browncoats!

We are proud to finally announce that the Brown Coat Pub & Theatre in Wilmington, NC is now officially open! After months of exhaustive work and much due diligence, we have completed our rennovations and cleared all of the necessary inspections. Restoring a 100 year old building wasn't easy, but the end product is certainly worth it.

The first official show in the new space is a modern re-imagining of the Greek Tragedy "Trojan Women." Like our favorite television show and movie, this new take on a classical play blends many cultures, generes and perspectives to provide an entertaining and reflective experience. This production also contains an easter egg for Firefly fans. Find out more at www.guerillatheatre.com

We are still gathering artwork and memorabilia for the Brown Coat. Our most exciting news is that we have commissioned Tamica Katzman to create nine original pieces featuring the crew of the finest ship in the verse.

The Brown Coat Pub & Theatre is currently open Thursday-Sunday from 7:00-10:30 PM. An expanded schedule is expected to launch in late April or early May.

Hope to see as many of you there as possible!

PS: For the BSG fans on the board, director Anthony Hemingway visited the space this weekend. He was in Wilmington to receive an award from the Cine Noir Film Festival hosted by the Black Arts Alliance. Hope to get more SciFi personalities to take notice in the coming months!

Now I have an excuse to go to Wilmington! I grew up there and now live further up the NC coast in Washington, NC but I'll always look for an excuse to visit Wilmington.

Truth be told , you can't get here from there...And vice-'Verse-uh...

But seriously , depends how you approach the problem...

I've been to Corolla before , and honestly , coming from down here , I think it's easier just to go to southeastern Virginia , then turn around...

If I was coming down from there , depending upon the seasonal traffic , I think I'd make a ferry reservation from Ocracoke to Cedar Island , and just relax with my feet up for that part of the trip...

Might have to make a comparison of the various options , to suss out the best solution...

Some trigger-nom-a-tree could be involved , so a real answer could take a tick...

.....it cant be THAT complicated to get to Wilmington from the outer banks. I know I have to get back to the mainland cuz wilmington is on the mainland, but i wanted to know how far a drive it would be, as in how long would it take me to get there :-P so then if it was so long none of my family members wanted to go with me (though my dad likes firefly so he'd prolly make the trip) i could get there myself. ^_^ cuz like it or not, when I go down to NC for vacay this year, I'm GOING to Wilmington. no debate :-P

The only problem is that the only way you can get to Ocracoke is by ferry. I'd maybe go the VA way.

Another way is this, take HWY 17 to Washington ( 2 hours 45 minutes or less now the Jacksonville bypass is open and if you know how to bypass New Bern).

Then at Washington go north 20 miles to Williamston. Take 264 (4 lane now) due east to Manteo and Hatterass. Then you would have to go up the northern end of the island to reach Corolla on a 2 lane road that can get very crowded in the summer.

Any way you do it it's a LONG trip.

I've been keeping an eye on the pub for a while *cough-seahawk-cough*, and it's sadly ironic that it's now opening and I'm moving away. Keep me posted.

Darksiders can keep their cookies. We have better writers.

Grrr. Argghh.

Full well it IS that complicated...Only more so...

Not to dissuade you whatsoever , 'cause we admire your Browncoat fervor and pluck , but Corolla is even like waaay past the Rim of the 'Verse , out beyond the Burnham Quadrant...Yeah , that's right...Reaver Territory...
'ripa voce'...MIRANDA !!!

Can't take going there lightly...And comin' from there is harder still , with Wash somewhat less lovely now...

There's a legendary tale about 2 brothers from Ohio , that decided to go to the Outer Banks to fly kites during the post-touristy-season , and a fella in a rowboat dropped 'em off...with a hatchet , and a blanket , no livestock...And they had to live off oysters and fish ,'til they could invent an airplane that could get 'em back to the mainland...That's how far off-the-track are Corolla , Nags Head , and the Kill Devil Hill...I'm assured by 'reliable informed sources' that at least a substantial part of the foregoing legend is true...

An-Ni-Hao , we'll be happy to continue workin' out your 'nav solution' , but the navi-comps are not pickin' up any nav-sats 'twixt here and there , so's it's gonna be strictly seat-of-the-pants and 'dead reckoning' to get 'er done...Will work it out , soon enough...

You know , this sounds like the sort of provocation N-C folk would use to conjure a bit of Shindig-gery...

When could you be out on the rim this year , F-L-Tex ? See if we can arrange a transport , once the plans are known...
