Alright, so I work full-time at a video store here in Savannah, GA. I had to fill in a shift and work the floor (assist customers, run movies, etc.) from 6-10 tonight. Well, I'd only been at work for maybe an hour when a regular of ours strolled in. I converted him into a Browncoat eons ago. He actually called me up at work one morning so I could remind him where to find the international trailer. Anyway, we just got in the new issue of Starlog (with the 16-page feature and cover devoted to our BDM) and I pointed it out to him. He smiled really big and we discussed the BDM and various other Serenity-themed goings on. He then said, "Hold on...I left something in the car." I went back to shelving a few movies and helping customers out.

The regular customer came back in with what looked like an open package. He smiled even bigger and said, "I got one of these for myself and I just thought I'd get one for you."

Fellow Browncoats, he then handed me the package. Inside was a sturdy white mousepad with a crisp, clean picture of Serenity in flight! I thanked him immensely and we chatted for a bit more and as he went to check out and buy Starlog I said, "Now I owe you." He shook his head. "No, I owed you."



This gesture really put me in awe. I'm using it now, of course, and it's great having this awesome mouspad to look at. This truly made my night and I just had to share it with each and every one of you.
