maybe not enough people are going or have replied back, so no set time has been arranged. are you by borders books?

I don't know if I'd go all the way to Sacramento, but something in the South Bay (San Jose) area might entice me. The thing is, I just don't feel like registering at yet another website. People all seem to discuss the existence of these meet-ups here, yet do not use this site to make specific plans. It puzzles me. I am part of several other online communities which have all had their own real-life get-togethers, and they were always arranged within one thread on their regular discussion boards. I'm curious as to what is so great about that Meetups site -- but not so curious as to register to find out. (Don't take offense, i'm like this with all my friends.)

Well, I can't speak for the rest, but I can tell you why I registered with the Meetups site and will continue to try to participate in FF meetups through that site. First, I participate in other meetups (not FF related) through that site. Second, there are people who participate at the Meetups site who are not members of this board and would therefore not be included if RL meetups were planned only here. Anyway to connect with more Browncoats is good with me.

We've done the impossible and that makes us mighty. Mal - Serenity.

Looks like another person has signed up for Richmond, VA. She even posted on the msg board @ the Meetup site.

Who knows, maybe we will actually be able to have a meet up this month.

"May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one."

I believe the time is 2pm for every location?

No offense! I'm not a meetup fanatic. My understanding is that a lot of people use meetup.com who aren't necessarily part of any board. So like Whedonesque said, it's a good chance to meet non-board folks. Plus there are so many FF boards, that for me to actually meet a significant number of Browncoats in my area, I have to post on 5 different ones to get enough interest! Even then the most Boston people we've gathered together between the OB and fffans is 5, and that included me dragging my husband along.

Of course, a couple of us still had to advertise the meetup on every board...

But I also like that they have a vote set up for locations and an RSVP system.

The "OB" -- a Prospero board, formerly the official site when Firefly was still on television.

The official site of the movie, of course.

Not a board, but a handy list and great site.

And the Seattle Browncoats are a force to be reckoned with! Here are their specific threads on aforementioned boards:
