I’ve been a Browncoat since the first episode of Firefly
aired. It took me until after I moved to North Carolina to get involved with a Browncoat
group. There wasn’t a group in Asheville, but there was one in Greenville, SC
which is about 45 minutes away. I started going to meetups in Greenville and
made some great friends.
I also got to meet some of the Charlotte, NC Browncoats too
and went to some of their gatherings. In 2009, it was announced that Charlotte
would be holding the Browncoat Ball in 2010. I signed up to be on the planning committee.
It was a lot of work but it was a ton of fun especially at the Ball itself.
I’ve wanted to go back to a Ball since then, but I haven’t
been able to. This year, the Greenville Browncoats put in a bid and got the
Ball for next year. I’m on the planning committee again and I’m so excited!
2014’s Browncoat Ball is going to feature a Firefly-themed
murder mystery. We are already have a Facebook page up if anyone is thinking
about joining in the fun. It’s one of the best shindigs of the year and I’m
looking forward to helping make it really shiny.
