We are freakin' EVERYWHERE!

Great story Niki2.….here’s another,

This past weekend the wife and I happened to be off at the same time. We decided to take in a movie. 2012 was playing and we went to see it (not a bad movie btw). Before we left I pulled out a shirt to wear. It was too wrinkled Mrs. Z told me.

“ You’re gonna force me to wear my Serenity shirt.” I told her and we laughed.

Later after the show we went to a nearby restaurant. We were enjoying our meal when a different waiter other than the one who took our order came to our table and asked how our food was. “Fine” we told him.

“Excuse me sir but the real reason I came to ask was to tell you that I really enjoy your shirt.” He said.

I was knocked down!! The young man seemed to be in his mid to early twenties. I shook his hand immediately. Thanked him and told him that I new the feeling.

There really ARE no strangers when it comes to browncoats and Firefly fans.

That’s the truth, we hold!!

A couple of times now I've gone for Halloween as Jayne (Flying Elves shirt, military pants, big gun, fingerless gloves, cunning hat http://www.flickr.com/photos/idesignyoureyes/4058903521/). A few years ago I went to West Hollywood, where every Halloween there's a huge party/parade/concert/riot on Santa Monica Boulevard.

As I was pushing my way through the crowd with my friends, suddenly this enormous gay man walks right up to me and gives me a bear hug. He said he was a huge Browncoat, and the previous year he had gone as Jayne himself.

He was the only person who said he recognized my costume that year. (A previous year, I went as The Bowler from Mystery Men, and about a half dozen people knew who I was supposed to be.)

You'll like this one then.

I happen to reside pretty close to Canton, Michigan, and as some of my business takes me through there often, I do stop at one of the stations there to fuel up.

So, I pull in, start pumpin, and the filter musta been a bit clogged cause it was pumpin slow, so to pass the time I start whistling "The Hero of Canton" as an ironic thing to pass the time.

The guy pumping on the other side joins in, making it a duet, till the pump cuts off and I pull my receipt and put the cap back on - I turn to get in the car and grin, he grins back, and on my merry.

Not a word was exchanged, but it didn't need to be, did it ?

I suspect there's a LOT of Firefly Fans in Canton, MI - there almost have to be, right ?

The other day on campus I was bored so I decided to take the bus. Never had taken the bus before so I wanted to see where I could go. Ended up heading towards Target. The only other two people on the boss started talking about Firefly out of the blue. I joined in. We talked for a good 20 minutes until we made it to Target. As I was leaving the bus the bus driver who wasn't part of the conversation said "Stay Shiny." I was in shock and just replied, "Thanks, you too." I was surprised.

Hey Frem,

Not a word was exchanged, but it didn't need to be, did it ?

You got that right -:)

Here's my story (which I may have posted before, but it's worth repeating):

I'm on my way to work some OT at work on a Saturday several months back, and when I get near the street-level door of my building the security guard notices my Serenity T-shirt and says great show.

I stopped briefly to exchange pleasentries and go on my merry. Unfortunately I was on my way to work and couldn't stop too long to get his name and such. I felt great the rest of the day though. It felt like I found a new friend, but not much was said other than great show and I said something about Browncoats being great people.

Anyways, this spring and summer I'm breaking that puppy out more often. Who knows I may find me a mate (stranger things have happened). I'm planning on getting more Firefly T-shirts for this coming summer.

SGG


Tawabawho?

I was posting as a newbie on a True Blood forum and mentioned that I liked Nathan Fillion. Another poster said "another Browncoat huh?"

I was really surprised when others chimmed in that they liked Firefly too.

Unfortunately I don't seem to ever have any run-ins with Browncoats in random places :( but last New Years I did find out that a friend of a friend (I had just met her once before, so I knew absolutely nothing about her) was a Browncoat.

I was going to my friend's New Year's party and Amy (Browncoat) was already there. When I walked in the very first thing I noticed she was wearing a very familiar hat, and said "Jayne Cobb, huh?" she LEAPT off the couch and gave me a tackle-hug "OH MY GOD THANK YOU!!!" It was a Firefly quote-fest for the rest of the evening XD

Wish I could share a more interesting and candid story, but there it is :P

EDIT: Oh! Almost forgot. A little while back in the semester I was emailing with one of my professors about Star Wars in concert, because I'd overheard her talking about it to another student. I use my personal email because my school email is forwarded to it anyway, so I have a signature that is predominantly Firefly quotes. I usually remove this signature when emailing professors just to be a little more professional, but the second time emailing her I forgot to----didn't realize this until I get a reply saying "You like Firefly???" (mind you, nowhere in my signature does it say that any of the quotes are from Firefly. One is a Mal quote [sans name], one is a Wash quote [again, sans name] and another is part of the theme song). I was so thrilled and surprised at that moment I couldn't stop beaming.
