If you're interested in joining this ever growing circle of Firefly fans, whose visual theme is based on the Independent Army seen in Firefly and in the visual companions, visit this thread to read the specifics, which are all very well laid out:

We represent a newly-formed unit of Independent soliders at the outbreak of the hostilities (prior to Du Khang and Serenity Valley).
First and foremost, remember that this is a fan-based organization, and our first rule is "Show up. March. Have Fun!"

Our inaugural march took place at DragonCon in Atlanta in September of 2007.

We do have a few rules and regulations that must be met in order to be considered as a member, including uniform requirements and weapons requirements. These will be outlined below. Please be sure to read over all the information and confirm that you can meet all of these requirements before applying for membership. We are not trying to keep people out, but we do want to present a united, uniform Battalion of Independent soldiers, and one of the best ways to do this is to look the same.

Yep, the ol' Big Suck. Ugh.

Warm here too. Guess winter's just not ready for us yet. Bulbs for my flowers aren't sprouting yet, but if this warm spell doesn't break soon they just might.

Could very well be, especially for me since I haven't worked a Friday since the end of September! LOL These three day weekends until the first of the year always help make the holidays all that much brighter.

Big Suck and bills at the same time? Sounds like the Special Hell to me.

At least Big Suck is behind us and we are sitting at Hump Day Eve.

Flying out Thursday afternoon to Anniston to see the Colonel, his lovely bride, VeX, Zeph, Phoebe, and others at the Shindig.

Hey MsA. Hope you had a good holiday. Yeah, being out this way allows for easier access to 76th Shindigs, but being out your way allows easier access to all those wonderful events on the west coast.
