Big ol' Browncoat bump for new people.

I'll be there as well. At the con and the table. Look forward to meeting you guys.

Ah glad to find this old thread. I will more than likely be there at 7pm on Friday and I'll definitely attend at least one Jewel panel, if not two, dressed as Kaylee. As far as the identifiers thing, when you pick up your badge and put your name on it you can choose a nickname as well so why not everyone just put Browncoat or something? Just an idea. I'm also fond of the attaching little brown coats to our clothing. If ya'll want to do that let me know and I can make up a bunch and bring them with me. This is my 9th consecutive Dragon Con (sooo tired just thinking about all those years, lol) and I'm always looking to make new friends from new fandoms. Can't wait to meet some fellow Browncoats!

Great idea Reannaremick! I remember that they let you put nicknames on your id badge. I will have Browncoat1 on mine. I will also be in my browncoat costume most of the time, complete w/ long brown duster. If not costume, I will be wearing a Blue Sun t-shirt.

Looking forward to meeting everyone.

Definitely a winner idea, my badge will say Firefly Fan (too obvious?), unfortunately the name badges are not as easily discernable across a room as a brown scarf or little doo-dad, Dong ma? We want to make it easy for us to spot each other. Ok, the Firefly t-shirts will be pretty obvious and the name badges are good but we want to be able to find a Browncoat across a room! See everyone Friday at 7pm at the Firefly fan table. And I may just may have a surprise with me.....

I've been waiting for you to kiss me since I showed you my guns!

True they can't be seen from far away, but people who cosplay (I have 9 costumes aside from my Kaylee one) can't really tie on a brown scarf unless it goes. Ah well, I shall put Browncoat on my ID badge, put a felt browncoat on my clothes and be at the table as much as possible and that'll be the way to discern me. ^_^

Ok, let's face it, if you're wearing a Firefly costume, you don't need the brown scarf, right? My deal is, if we have no other Browncoat identifier other than our badge, it'll be difficult. Adding something obvious, like a brown headband or arm band or scarf, or a felt cut out of a brown coat will just save us from doing a lot of squinting, yes?

Good point FireflyGal. An interesting problem. From across the room, and with thousands of other people moving about it will be difficult to pick out a name badge or a costume. Unless we walk around waving flags over our head that say "I'm a Browncoat!" it will be just shy of impossible to see another browncoat unless they are very close by.

I will give the problem some thought to see what I can come up w/. My first inclination is to say everyone wear a shirt of an uncommon color that would be easy to spot even across the room, but choosing a color and convincing everyone to purchase it would be a feat.

Anyone else have an idea?

I think I'm going to wear/bring brown fabric tie-on armbands...might even screen print "Browncoat" and the Serenity characters on them (I'm teaching screen printing this week, and need something to practice on...).

I figure that's something I can wear with darn near everything, even my Klingon...who's gonna harass a Klingon about their attire, after all...

Depending on the finances/time, I'll bring some more along - first come, first served! (Fireflygal, you're already in if you want it).

Shiny idea ShinyHappyKlin. If you have an extra I would take it as a kindness if you could loan one to me.
