Begun in October 2010, the San Antonio Browncoats merged with the previously existing Alamo City Browncoats (begun in August 2005) and united the Browncoat community in the greater San Antonio area. Hosting Browncoat Luncheons and free screenings of the show, the Browncoats have grown to expect over 100 members per monthly viewing, and have moved to hosting their Shindigs free of charge at movie theater venues to attract a broader audience and continue the Browncoat movement.
