Hello there!
Congrats on your tickets! I've realized that Firefly fans are some of the nicest people, so I'm sure you'll find a friend at the screening.

Welcome to the site Elora. Glad to have you posting w/ us. Make yourself right at home.
I think you will find us a friendly bunch. Making friends should be easy enough. I have already made many friends w/ some that post here & other boards.
Have fun at the screening.

Hello, Elora - and everybody!
I hope you don't mind me piggybacking my introduction on yours.
I live in Seattle, and am new to fandom. Anyone care to offer any helpful tips for n00bs like me? I looked for a forum faq, but I couldn't find one.

Welcome GreekToomey. Glad to have you aboard.
What kind of hints were you looking for exactly?

Greektoomey,
Welcome aboard. I'm on the opposite side of the country so I can't help much with your potential local events. I'm sure there are other Browncoats closer to or within Seattle that would know more. If you're seeking just general tips for the board, then I recommend the "just jump right in" tactic. post in threads that interest you and let us all know a bit about you. We're all fairly friendly here and only bite if you ask real nice. If you have questions post 'em and someone who can help, likely will.
Have you seen the whole DVD set? What other shows are you a fan of? We'll all tend to pimp Buffy, Angel, and Wonderfalls, and The Inside, as they come from the same creative minds as our beloved Firefly. We'll just assume you know about the movie......
Cheers, and again, welcome aboard.

Please, call me "Greek."
Browncoat1, thank you. I guess I don't have any real specific questions, I just usually try to read a FAQ before I jump right in and make a fool of myself. If there's no faq, then I guess I don't need to worry about it. Let the foolishness commence!
Jadehand, thank you, also. Is there somewhere on this board that I can look for local browncoat events? (I assume that "browncoat" means "Firefly fan" rather than a specific type of Firefly fan?)
Re: biting - I can ask *very* nicely. Nudge nudge, wink wink.
I've watched the fourteen episodes from the DVDs, though they were downloaded copies. Please don't jump on me for that - I ordered the DVD box, and "Finding Serenity," from Amazon this morning, because now I have an obsessive need to watch all the extras. Also because, Hello, JOSS.
As far as other shows go, I have the full twelve seasons of Buffy & Angel, and I'm also a fan of Smallville and The West Wing (before Sorkin departed). I recently cancelled my cable television, but you've got me curious as to how Mr. Whedon is involved with The Inside (which I've never heard of) and Wonderfalls.
Hoo boy, I'm just full of questions.

Welcome Greek. (I already said welcome to Elora earlier in this thread.) I hope both of you are liking it here.

Hey Greek.
There is a Firefly Meet Up Group in Seattle that you could join. Here is their web addy:
http://firefly.meetup.com/55/
Lots of us Browncoats (what the cast and fanbase call Firefly fans) get together through the Meet Up site to plan get togethers, shindigs (parties), etc.
You can start w/ the Meet Up Group & branch out from there.
We're happy to answer any questions you have, so fire away.

Greek,
I see BC1 has filled you in on the Meetups and "Browncoats", Mr. Whedon isn't personally involved in either "The Inside" or "Wonderfalls". Tim Minear(Angel,Firefly,Wonderfalls), his partner in crime, was behind "Wonderfalls", and was brought in and completely re-vamped "The Inside" (currently being FOXED, will return next weds. 9:00 EST and the week after before being sent off to DVDland) with the help of other Mutant Enemy alumni (Jane Espenson, Ben Edlund,etc). See link below.
Aside: I enjoy Smallville too.
