In 2004, the Inaugural Browncoat Ball (BCB) was held in Chicago with great success. The Chicagoland Browncoats aimed to bring fans from around the world together to celebrate Firefly and each other. The vision for the Browncoat Ball was that it would be an affordable fan-run event to be held in a different city each year to maximize convenience and attendance.
The second Browncoat Ball was hosted by the San Francisco Browncoats in 2006. The opulence and splendor of the weekend-long event drew in 150 Browncoat attendees from across the United States, Canada and Australia. It was the West Coast’s first chance at putting on The BCB and boy, did everyone have a blast!
In 2007, the Pennsylvania Browncoats, brought us together at the epicenter of American independence. The weekend proved to not only be enjoyable and entertaining, but educational as well. When the East Coast got its turn to host the Ball – the Browncoats’ minds were packed with history and the dance floor was packed with fun!
In 2008, the Austin Browncoats took the reigns to deliver a romping good time in the great Republic of Texas. They gathered, they danced, they shindiged the weekend away. A terrific time was had by all!
In 2009, the Browncoat Ball was hosted by the PDX Browncoats in Portland, Oregon. Portland, also known as “The Rose City”. Portland was an ideal northwest location and the weekend was a huge success.
The 2010 ball was hosted by the Charlotte Browncoats in Charlotte, North Carolina. Southern hospitality was on display as Browncoats were entertained with music, clog dancing, a midnight pajama party, and a massive selection of raffle prizes!
The 2011 Browncoat Ball comes to New England in the fall, the perfect time of year. The New England Browncoats welcome their fellow Firefly fans from far and wide to visit the home of the original Browncoats and experience our own special brand of hospitality.
Ooh! I think I just discovered an awoesme prop for my film! (Not a fan-film, but I did want to stick in some nerdy inside jokes with the props. The main character is a vampire she has a medical condition that resembles it, that is and she’s always complaining about the Buffy/Angel jokes she gets, and saying she hates Whoever made them , just for that, yet I was considering having her like Serenity without realizing it was by the same guy or just having some of my Firefly/Serenity stuff laying around in the background of teh set and stuff as an inside joke). Now I totally am wondering if I need to have a drinking scene with one of those shotglasses!
Hey guys,Just finished lintnsieg to Episode 36. I remember Parris saying that he’d love to be the guy who’d never seen the Shield and was watching episode 1 season 1. Well, I find myself in the privileged position of having seen Serenity The Movie but never having seen a single frame of the TV show Parris, were you serious about sending DVDs out of the show!?! No seriously, I will search it out in the shops and obviously cry (it’ll just be the dust in my TV room obviously ) and curse Fox at the end of episode 14 Keep up the good work fellas always a pleasure to listen to!Stan
