I aim to misbehave
Zoë: What? And risk my ship?
Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: I mean it. It's cold out there. I don't wanna get left.

The best thing about going to events like the midnight show of Serenity last weekend at the Coolidge Corner Theater are the uninhibited fun and the camaraderie. Some lament the nerds in costume, but I applaud people who unabashedly love something, wear their love on their sleeves, and go to a place where they can express that joy together. It's like opening night all over again. People cheer louder, laugh harder, and get collectively choked up when their favorite characters get shot or spiked.
What's more, people are just friendly. At the end of the movie I yelled across the rows of seats to a group in costume "hey, can I get a picture with your crew?" and they happily consented. They even snapped some pictures that were more than my lowly camera phone could manage and emailed them to me.
They say old community values are dead? I know that they're alive and well -- in space.
