Monthly Check-Up & Browncoat Players

Well I need to get something posted for August before it's over and done with. I am moved and very slowly unpacking. Expect to see more thought out ideas. At the moment I'm working on my own Bleach original characters and trying to design and lore them enough to be satisfied and start sketching them.

Finished LFG comics and most of GU Comics. Awesome, sadly this has only depressed me more for what little storylines I can place with my WOW characters. Speaking of, 2 70s to report now as well as started rolling Horde on Smolderthorn for the hell of it. I have a buddy with raid connections and such and after reading LFG I wanted to play a Tauren. :P

Browncoat Players is something random my mother of all people suggested after I made a very politically-racist and snide comment during the olympics. Something along the American-Chinese cooperation or such, funny at the time but details are fuzzy. Anyway, while we were watching the Olympics this year (starting and first week of) we were re-watching Firefly/Serenity during the nights before my full-time job started. So what kind of insturments and outfits would a AmerChinese Folk band be and how would it sound? Basically consisting of folksy musical instruments and miscellaneous amalgamation of accompanyments.

America ==
Banjo, Guitar, Harmonica, Kazoo (only insturment universally agreed to originate in USA with no direct predecessors)

Chinese ==
Guzheng, Pipa, Yangqin, Koto

Heavy on the strings, but the accompanying pieces will vary the sounds more. Could be a very interesting ensemble given the right direction. Wish someone would take me up on it, lol.
