Shiny, SHK, please count me in for one.
I actually like the idea of the flag waving.... Ok, reality check! I tossed out several ideas in earlier posts but I'm thinking it's not so necessary that we all have the same identifying item. Just so long as we CAN identify each other. The badges are a good start, The Firefly t-shirts some of us have will be visible. Firefly costumes will be obvious too! We'll spot FF costumes and FF T-shirts from a further distance than probably anything else, but we'll also be LOOKING for a distinguishing item on people.
I think rather than all coming up with the same thing, let's just come up with our own thing that will make us stand out (to fellow Browncoats), when we're not "obvious" (wearing costume or t-shirt). A brown felt coat cut-out was suggested, the armband ShinyHappyKlin suggested, a brown headband, a brown ribbon. Anything, so long as it screams to the rest of us "Browncoat", it doesn't matter what it is. You guys catching my drift?
And remember Friday night, September 3rd at 7pm at the Firefly fan table, in the Marriott, I believe.

If I may suggest: make the bands long and thin enough to wear around the head as hachimaki as well.
I remember the promo for Buckaroo Banzai at Balticon lo these many years ago, and the headbands they gave away showed up on just about everything you can think of.

I think the anything brown idea is probably going to be the best one to go w/ FireflyGal. I will come up with something both functional and stylish to wear in brown to be more easily spotted by my fellow browncoats.

Not so much of an identifier, just something fun, I was planning on bringing some roping with and doing Zoe's necklace for anyone who wanted it, also I'm hashing out an idea for Blue Sun sodas. We'll see how that one goes. I have 900 other things to make for my other fandoms as well so it's a tight fit. Anywho, see you all there!

The Blue Sun idea is pretty cool. One of my converts made up Blue Sun adhesive labels for bottles. We have been drinking "Blue Sun" soda for a while now when we have our viewing parties. I will bring labels to hand out to everyone.

Dragon Con Browncoats Fan Table.
Guys if you want to coordinate a group get together and see what Firefly Events we have planned for Dragon Con please come on over and sign up at our Yahoo Group.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/fireflyserenitybrowncoats/
This way we can post it on the site and keep everybody from the different groups updated.
We are also looking for people who want to participate in the Parade on Saturday.
So if you’re interested please sendmeawave@browncoats.com with your name and how
many people will be attending. You must be in costume to participate in the parade.
We also still need volunteers for the Table so if you’re interested please let me know.
The Table will be in the lower level of the Marriot along with the other fan tables. I don't have an exact location but once we do it will be posted on the yahoo group page.
Also if you’re planning a party in your hotel room and would like to invite other browncoats please let us know and we can advertise it at the fan table.
Advertising the Fandom at the Convention:
One suggestion that was put out a while back was to make small stickers with a Fire Fly saying on it to hand it out at the table. That way people can wear them on there person and be identified as a fan of firefly. If people are interested in creating these we can collect funds and have them printed. Right now we are collecting funds to print 1000 kaylee post cards. So if you’re interested in helping fund the printings please let me know.

Working on getting the word out to them that need it told...

Rich, dropped you an email about the parade. I will be attending in costume this year, and will gladly participate in the parade. Drop me an email w/ any particulars and I will be there.
As I told you over at the OB, I will be glad to donate some time to volunteer at the table in the Mariott lobby. I will bring some posters, fliers, Blue Sun labels, Firefly articles I have printed, and anything else of interest I can think of.
Drop me an email at browncoat1@yahoo.com once you have the final schedule and we will work something out.
