Hey Browncoats!

In case you hadn't heard, the Browncoat Ball 2024 is coming- this is the 20th anniversary of the Ball so join us and be a part of history.

October 25-27, 2024
Bethlehem, PA
https://browncoatball.com/2024/

Our base of operations will be the Homewood Suites By Hilton in Center Valley (right outside Bethlehem, PA). All rooms are suites and include: a pull out couch, a kitchenette (fridge, microwave, stovetop), hot breakfast every morning and free parking.

We will start off the Browncoat Ball weekend on Friday, Oct 25 with our Welcome Reception at the Centennial Event Center (connected to the Homewood Suites). We will have Firefly-themed games and light hors d’oeuvres. Wear your best Firefly cosplay in honor of the Halloween weekend (there may be some trick or treating going on later). We will have the musical awesomeness that is Sean Faust for your entertainment.

On Saturday, there is a wide range of activities to choose from. Return to Earth That Was with a tour of the National Museum of Industrial History, or Follow That Shiny Star to a core planet with a walking tour in Historic Downtown Bethlehem, or go to Fanty and Mingo’s gambling den with a trip to the Wind Creek Casino and Outlet Mall, or you can choose the Stitch-n-Bitch track to hang out with other Browncoats in our swanky hospitality suite

Saturday night, join us in the Ballroom for the main event! We will have fancy dancing with a dance caller to help us stay in step. There will be raffles and silent auctions, so bring cashy money or major credit cards. We will finish the Ball with some modern music to dance off dinner. Then retire to the hospitality suite for more fellowship and shenanigans (no word yet on juggling goslings).

On Sunday, the hospitality suite will be open! Free ranging Browncoats will be around to hang out, play games, and maybe organize some trips to the outer rim. Easton, Allentown, and Quakertown are all close by with fun options that you can explore. You'll be at the entrance to the Pocono Mountains during the beautiful autumn transition.

I thought I lost this keychain so I bought another just to find it in a clients parking lot three days later so now it sits with the rest of the nick nacks on my dash.

the bounty hunter from Objects in Space, was in fact, the name of a Major General that fought for the Confederacy (Army of Northern Virginia) in the American Civil War.

Well played Joss. Well played.

My Serenity OST album arrived! Looking forward to getting it on the turntable.

I've read all the novels, but I haven't yet got around to all of the graphic novels (I've only read the 'The Unification War' arc) but damn do they make for a mighty fine looking collection.

At least it classified it as a popular series

Or maybe you prefer play both at high volume to "entertain" those close to you.

u/jpow33 got the highly contested "I" quote yesterday, it was by far the closest set of votes we've had so far!

Today we are looking for quotes starting with "J" - what comes to mind?

Random question. Has anyone made or know where I can find a Jayne hat for my reddit avatar? Just curious.

In episode 3 - Bushwhacked - when our crew was being taken to the Alliance ship for interrogation, Kaylee said "But cap'n, he called Serenity a 'junker!'" and then someone said "Shut up!" It didn't look like it was Mal who said it.

u/nevergonnagetit001 got the most upvotes with another a classic Kaylee quote.

Today we are looking for quotes starting with "H" - what are we voting for?

Not to post, just to read. And if so, does it warm their hearts to see such a following almost 20 years later.

I’ve been working my way through The Rookie and Resident Alien and it’s fun to see the occasional guest appearance and reference.

BORU today had a good one: https://www.reddit.com/r/BestofRedditorUpdates/comments/1dniyzk/met_alan_and_blew_it/

I just had to share that fab365 has a poseable Serenity model that can be 3d printed!

u/PipperDigs got "F" with an iconic quote from the intro.

Today we are going for "G"! What ones come to mind for y'all?
