...That said, I've just bought the domain name "humboldtbrowncoats.com" for us'ns here on the North Coast of California. I'm going to start our website very shortly, but I have a couple of questions.

What is the font used for so much of the printed Browncoat paraphenalia?

What general advice do you have for me, specifically what to avoid for those who have done this already?

I can't offer much advice about the website. But I helped start the local Browncoat chapter in '06 when there hadn't been one before.
Our group formed out of the first Can't Stop the Serenity screening. So I had a little easier time gathering Browncoats in one spot.
Once your website is done, I would recommend having some flyers or cards made up with the address. Leave some at your local comic/hobby shops and any local universities. You can also leave some at local conventions where sci-fi folk congregate. I've found that some people in our group are part of another fandom too.
You should start having shindigs on a monthly basis. And advertise those too. You may be the only one coming for a little while. But once you get the ball rolling, you'll build up speed, so to speak.
I truly believe that all it takes is one person to lead the way and Browncoats can be found anywhere. Don't give up. And let us know how it works out.

No , I tend to avoid the Alliance institutions...But Independent Intelligence has a long reach...

Most folk just shorten my tag to 'O2'...It's simpler , and safer , than callin' me 'out'...

I used to live in NorCal's Solano County , and frequently trekked all over the best half of California...I've been to Humboldt and all of the surrounding counties a number of times , although not so much recently...

It's my kind of pretty , up that way...

Keep us informed about how the gang comes together up there !
