    • Do you really have to ask? Honestly, though - Joss is an amazing visionary, but it goes beyond just one person. I think the Whedonite Fandom is awe inspiring. A group of fans getting together to donate their time and money to a charity like Equality Now - I am proud to be a part of this fandom.

About Austin Browncoats

ABC logo
Austin Browncoats, founded in 2007, is a 501(c )(3), tax-exempt non-profit located in Austin, TX. Austin Browncoats work to end violence and discrimination in all sectors of society. We place special focus on working alongside young women and children because, given the opportunity and proper education, young women and children can help create a better world for all beings. Much like our passion for the amazing works of Joss Whedon, such as “Firefly”, we are passionate about our causes and raising funds for our charities, including Equality Now, SafePlace, Heart House and Emancipet.



About Firefly and Serenity

Firefly is an short-lived space western television series created by writer/director/actor Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel). It premiered in 2002 on FOX, and was cancelled after only 11 of the then 14 completed episodes had aired. Despite Firefly’s short life span, its every growing fan base campaigned to try and save the ill-fated series, and later to get the show released on DVD.

Browncoats, what Firefly and Serenity fans are lovingly called, have consistently kept the DVD box set in the Amazon.com Top 25. The DVD sales, as well as active fan base, led Universal and Joss Whedon to produce a film, in 2005, based on the series, Serenity. Even though the “Big Damn Movie” received rave reviews from most critics, Serenity did not perform well at the box office. This has not stopped fans, though; Many started viewing Serenity on the Big Screen again for Can’t Stop The Serenity (one of the many Browncoat charity movements).

Browncoats are all over the world, and work together to not only create fan events, like The Browncoat Ball, but also run charitable events, like Can’t Stop The Serenity. The Browncoats champion a number of charities, including Equality Now and Kids Need To Read.

Who I'd like to meet:

Austin Browncoats (Whedonites in general) that we don't already know. People that want to help an amazing cause AND get to watch their favorite Big Damn Movie on the Big Damn Screen! People that are new to the fandom and want to get involved would be awesome, as well.

    Dr. Horrible comes to brick and mortar stores!
    Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog DVD was released to (non-Amazon) retailers Tuesday.  Best Buy brick and mortar stores have it. Anyone seen it elsewhere? 
    I checked one Target and one Wal-Mart.  No luck.  It wasn't in the new release section at Best Buy.  I found it in the TV section under D.  When I left they had one less and there were some in the new release section and the TV section under D. It is a new release...probably just sold out in that section.
    Reports coming in Dr. Horrible has also been seen at FYE.  According to http://bashinginminds.com , Doc is also available now online at Barnes & Noble, Borders, DeepDiscount.com, Walmart, Best Buy and other retailers. Netflix now has it.
    Doc twittered that Blockbusters online has it...their stores may also have it.
    Some places can order it without a shipping charge to their brick and mortar store.
    Know anybody in Canada? Doc been seen at HMV and Metro Video.

    Joss Whedon! Nathan Fillion!
