Man do I feel you...
I saw the movie when it first came out...I really enjoy Sci-Fi...
And I really enjoyed the movie...thought it was a wicket cool time...but then got wrapped up in another fandom (brokeback mountain).
Recently, rented Serenity...watched it twice...
But it wasn't until I watched Firefly that I bought on a whim to give me something to do while I'm stranded visiting my family that I truly, truly fell in love...
I am thinking about having Firefly viewing parties once a week and then showing Serenity at the end when I get back home to Anchorage...
WELCOME!

I have been showing the series to my friends and they are becoming just as hooked as me. It’s sad how I have never really heard about the movie or the show until now. It feels like I have a duty to spread the word now.
If we lived here we'd be home

Some Comicon-goers had promised to post

but there hasn't been much. Any good
stuff to report?
So neat that Joss noticed you before
you noticed him. (I'd have been tempted
to pretend I didn't know who he was,
even though that's been done already!)
Love the jacket. Quite literally shiny.
And where did you get the umbrella?
As a newcomer, have you ever been given
your virtual browncoat by FollowMal?
Been invited up to the galley? I've been
washing strawberries while I read the posts
and they're on a bed of ice, waiting to
be sampled by you and anyone else who's
interested. Come on up the steps and mind
you don't get vertigo.

Thanks for the warm welcome!
As far as Comic Con... I had a great time! There were a ton of Browncoats everywhere and about a gazillion Jaynehats. Every time my friend and I saw one we would well out "Jaynehat!!" and point. We got a lot of laughs. We saw a screening of Serenity at the Hyatt which was awesome (except a homeless guy had found a badge and decided to take a stinky nap right next to me!). Then we saw the screening of Done the Impossible and the creators answered questions and showed some of the special features. There were so many Browncoats there! My friend and I were lucky to get front row seats (We sat through a miserable Touma panel to get them, too. Really, zombie indian chickens?? WTF?) On Sunday, there was a SoCal Browncoat meeting, but after going to every day of Con, including Preview Night, we decided to head home after lunch so we missed it. I'm a little bummed that we didn't make it, but I would have slept through it anyway. The Browncoat booth was awesome and I bought way too much stuff, including a Browncoats rubber bracelet that hasn't left my wrist.
Joss was awesome. need I say more?
The umbrella was gotten here: http://www.asianimportstore.com/whpaum.html and then I grabbed some acrylics at the craft store and painted it. Not easy by the way!
I forgot to mention, I've only been a fan for a few months but I've already converted someone and am working on my second. Mwahaha.
Virtual browncoat? Nope, not yet!
Ooo, strawberries...............

Welcome, UnholyDove, FanOfRiverTam, and SpaceCoyote! Glad you found this little corner of the 'verse.
You can't delete a double post, but you can edit it to say "Ahhh! Another double post!". Just click the Edit selection.
FollowMal hasn't been by recently, but if you'd like a recycled browncoat to tide you over, there's a little stack over here that I've been patching up and brushing off as they... become available. Kinda hard to come by as nobody wants to return them! Nobody that's still alive, anyway.
Help yourselves. Might not fit too well, and don't ask about the stains. Once FM hands out your shiny new ones, you can drop these off in the storeroom for the next vict... er, recruit to use.

I'm pointin' right at it!

I'm not really new, but what the hell, here's my story:
I fell in love with the show when it first aired, then kind of forgot about it for a while, but eventually remembered, bought the dvd's, started joining forums, etc. Then the BDM came out, and I was active (in some places, not so much here) for a while, but the BDM gave me a kind of closure, I tried moving on, and I found new television interests. But recently I've started getting active again in the Firefly verse, and I got my copy of DTI. I watched it, and realized I'm not ready to say goodbye to the verse, and I'm trying to become active again in the community.
Anyway, I'm Carrie, and I'm looking forward to that Browncoat I'm supposed to be getting.

Great report, unholydove. Not likely
I'll ever get to go to one of the cons
so I soak up all the stories and photos.
Too bad no photo of the Smelly Fan. Heh.
Thanks also for the URL for Asian stuff.
Con or not I'd love one of those umbrellas.
I thought at one point that I should go
to the place, wherever it was, that I'd seen
a display of the things hanging upside down
but realized with a jolt that The Place was
on Lilac where the robbery took place in
Serenity. Reality check, anyone? Sheeze...
And I see that DonCoat has been handing out
"refurbs" from the Used storage. No victims
involved. Please. Some of these excellent
garments get a little extra wear during
missions, adventures, or par-tays. So we
have a few trade-ins. All quite innocent.
Greetings and welcomes home and/or back to
FanofRiverTam #21670
SpaceCoyote #21671
Sindra #20704
PurplePenguin #10586.
#10586??
This evening's buffet features the customary
strawberries, brownies from Ravenhair's recipe,
wife soup, kiwis, pineapple, mangos, chocolate
cake, fresh bao, Protein As You Like It, hot
cheese, Captain's Evil Repeating Bean Dip with
reinforced chips, and anything else the rest
of the crew feel like putting together.
And lots of drinkables.
Please take care not to step on the ShipsCat
or into her dish.

Welcome, Spacecoyote! Wow! You sure are catching up fast! 
Please accept a glass of Irish whiskey to sip. 
And that thirst for recruitment? Good thing! The more folks who watch, the more likely we are to get more. (Yea!!) And the more new friends we all make!!

Well, at times I kinda have no life, so that explains a lot.I've tried to 'ghost' or lurk, but I keep seeing things that I just gotta put in my 2 cents worth.

I've made a foray there but it weren't the 'old timers' who sent me high-tailing out. Was the troll I encountered. It was my first troll and I said my piece and left. Yeah, I'm a bit of a weenie.
I also tend to stay away from poltiical discussions as I just get all depressed.
Nice meeting ya! Maybe I'll try another expedition there.

Welcome FanofRiverTam! Glad ya made it here! Please accept a nice glass of Irish whiskey, if you'd care to indulge.
Ah, the question you've asked is one that just dents the brainpan a bit. But the reason is: they're schmucks.
Double posts: nothing you can do, unless ya want to have some fun. (Hit the edit button on one and post something different. Some folks do SW jokes {this is not the post you're looking for} or various other things.) Double threads are usually taken over by pirates. ARRGGHHH! 
Happy posting!!
