A "Firefly" Birthday!

Rob's birthday just passed and this year I thought I would throw him a "Firefly/Serenity" themed birthday party. For those who don't know, "Firefly" is a terribly underrated Sci-Fi TV show that aired for only one season. Just like Arrested Development, most of the "Firefly" fans showed up after the show was cancelled. "Firefly" has now sold over 500 thousand DVDs, has an awesome fan organization called "The Brown Coats" and fans were able to fund the movie "Serenity." Seriously, if you haven't watched the show before, go find your geek and ask him or her for their copy of the show. So for those who have seen "Firefly" and know what I'm talking about, here are a few pictures you may appreciate.



So I thought I'd start off by making a couple signs to decorate my boyfriend's apartment. The infamous "Blue Sun" logo and the Fruity Oaty Girls!




Rob's gift bag, complete with the Chinese characters for "Serenity."




I even made him a card thanks to Microsoft Paint!












Rob's appartment after I took over. As you can tell, he was very impressed. I think the bullet holes add a nice touch to the place.


I even dressed up! Thought I'd go for more of an "Inara" look.


Rob's presents. All "Firefly/Serenity" themed.


Dinner was even based on the movie. For appetizers I made Char Siu Bao and Apple Cider from the "Our Mrs. Reynolds" episode, and strawberries from the pilot episode. I didn't get a picture of the entrée, but we had broiled tomatoes with rosemary, (also from the pilot episode,) and beef stir fry, (I figured since they were transporting cattle at the end of the "Shindig" episode, they must have had some beef.)

And finally, the birthday cake!!
