Shindigs
Traditionally, members of PDX Browncoats meet socially on the first weekend of every month. These shindigs have tended to alternate between Saturdays and Sundays, so watch the forums or keep an eye out here for details.

Special Jobs
In addition to our regular monthly shindigs, PDX Browncoats occasionally pull off special jobs. Announcements of future jobs will appear on the discussion board and listed here as well.
The HURRICANE RELIEF Job
24 September 2005
At the Guild Theater in downtown Portland, PDX Browncoats hosted a charity screening of three Firefly episodes to benefit the hurricane relief efforts of Mercy Corps.
The OBSESSION Job
29 December 2005
Members gathered at the Laurelhurst Theater in Southeast Portland to have our photograph taken beneath the marquee, to prove that we were seeing Serenity on the big screen yet again, even though we all had our DVD copies.
The KICKBALL Job
30 September 2006
At the end of September (on the one-year anniversary of Serenity's theatrical release), the Eugene Browncoats challenged us to kickball. We held our own, but they won.
The EQUALITY NOW Job
23 June 2006
Along with dozens of other cities across the United States, Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, PDX Browncoats hosted a charity screening of Serenity to benefit Equality Now. Portland's screening netted approximately $7,200.
The FLANVENTION Backup Bash Job
08 December 2006 - 10 December 2006
A handful of us headed to Burbank for Flanvention II only to find it cancelled, and find ourselves thrown instead into the midst of the Browncoats' Backup Bash. Technically, not a "job" but worth mentioning here anyway.
