When you think of the westerns, you think of Arizona. Geronimo, Jesse James, Wyatt Earp, Tombstone, and John Wayne became a part of history right here in the land of copper. It is here we invite you to join us in October for \u00a0the ninth official Browncoat Ball!<\/span>

\n\"Browncoat<\/a><\/p>\n

The Browncoat Ball is the social event of the season. It gathers\u00a0Browncoats from all over the world to celebrate who we are as a community. Inspired by an episode of the 2002 television series, Firefly<\/em>, the ball invites Firefly fans, known as \u201cBrowncoats,\u201d to dress in their finest to dine, dance, and d… socialize (so much for alliteration).\u00a0A cocktail party on Friday night sets off the weekend, followed by \u201caway team\u201d field trips around the city on Saturday, and then the ball itself Saturday night. It\u2019s a traditional ball complete with a caller announcing the guests, beautiful women and dapper men, the finest security this side of Persephone, and a buffet table to interrogate to your heart\u2019s content.
