Details

A Browncoat is a fan of the works of Joss Whedon, including Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, Dollhouse, and specifically the short-lived television series Firefly and its film adaptation Serenity. The term “browncoat” refers to the distinctive brown dusters worn by the rebel army soldiers in the Firefly’s backstory. Fans around the world have adopted the term as a representation of an international family who believes in quality entertainment that truly means something to those it touches. But, browncoats are much more than a fandom. We fight a modern corporate media that tells us what to think and how to feel. “They’re in our homes and in our heads, and they haven’t the right.” (River Tam, Serenity). We have grown beyond the thirteen episodes and the movie that originally brought us together; we are a network of like-minded people united in a fight for the values we believe in. The Arizona Browncoats is best described as a fan-based social and charitable movement. The social branch of our group, dedicated to the camaraderie of geeks everywhere, hosts casual public gatherings, referred to as “shindigs.” Join us on the first Saturday of every month as we get together to discuss our favorite films, books, games, and more! You have to join us in on the fun to understand! But we're a fun-loving group! The charitable branch of our group, Arizona Browncoats, Inc. (AzBc, Inc.), is an official Arizona non-profit organization dedicated to promoting unity and equality among all people. For more information on future events, membership, and more please visit our
