14 to 77: Firefly for All Ages
Monday, August 15, 2005

I'm staying at my sister's house while my band (The Bedlam Bards) plays at the Washington Renaissance Fantasy Faire, so I took this opportunity to show Firefly to my sister's family. My fourteen-year-old niece has been the most gung-ho recruit.

So today I was IMing with a musician friend I converted by teaching her a tune off the sound track (the wedding music in "Our Mrs. Reynolds"), and she told me that she had recruited both of her parents, who are seventy-seven years old! It got me to wondering who the oldest Browncoat out there is.

In other news, I was singing "The Ballad of Joss" just after closing at the faire this weekend, and a vendor I'd never met came over and listened with a huge smile. She's one of those many, many devoted Firefly fans out there who doesn't hang out online with other Browncoats.

My most gung-ho recruit is my 16 year old brother. He's successfully recruited two of his friends, and is trying to recruit a third before the movie comes out. Now we're just hoping they release it here - we live in Ireland!

If they don't show it in Irish cinemas I can't see myself waiting for the DVD. I'll crack and either grab it online or buy a ticket to England. Maybe my brother will come with me.
