Hey, y'all !!!!!!!

If you're going to Starfury read this:

"As many of you may have been reading on the internet, Universal
have
been conducting a series of test screenings of an advance print of
SERENITY to gauge audience reaction to the film.

At 6:30pm on Tuesday 8th February, Universal will be showing
SERENITY
for the first time outside of the US at a cinema in central London.

It is not a complete version of the film. The music score has yet to
be done, and the bulk of the special effects have yet to be
completed. It may also undergo further re-edits or changes between
now and the final release in September.

Chris Buchanan, the producer of SERENITY, and Michael Boretz, Joss
Whedon's assistant, thought it would be cool to let British
Browncoats have an incredible opportunity to see SERENITY a full 8
months prior to release!

They have kindly asked Universal to make a number of tickets
available exclusively to STARFURY to distribute to FIREFLY Fans.

So if you've booked to attend STARFURY: SERENITY, and you'll be able
to get to central London by 6:30pm on Tuesday 8th February, you
could
end up seeing SERENITY!

If you are a ticket holder for STARFURY: SERENITY and whish to go to
this screening, please e-mail me at SeanHarry@aol.com requesting
tickets. Please let me know your ticket number for STARFURY:
SERENITY
(it'll be strictly one film ticket per attendee).

Alternatively you can phone me on 07930 319 119 anytime between 10am
to 6pm Monday through Friday.

If any tickets are still available on Wednesday then we will make
them available for those who have not booked to attend STARFURY:
SERENITY as well."

I'm definitely coming, by the way.

Two quick questions Clarry -

1) Is there anything you have to say to get into the room? Will the pub have bouncers stopping random people coming up?

2) Is there food there or should we eat before coming?

*looks vaguely nervous*

I've only been posting here (and not very much) for a couple of days, would I be an unwelcome intruder?

Any browncoats from Nottingham here? They tend in that fair city to bang on about how old their public house tradition is, and Ye Olde Jerusalem was certainly dusty enough last time I checked.

I went to university there for four years and they do tend to go on about how historical their pubs are. Ye Olde Trip is trumpeted as the oldest there, but there is actually another, lesser known (lesser know to the extent that I can never remember its name) that was built the same year. And it's cheaper.

Two quick answers NikNak:

1) No bouncers. Not needed. The room is upstairs tucked out of the way. Very "gentleman's club". And anyway, I can give a nasty chinese burn.

2) Eat before you come.

Remember that it's the Johnson Room. If you end up in the Johnson Grill/Carvery there will be food, but another private party.

Hey, KittyKat

You're never unwelcome around fellow Browncoats!

I can't be there unfortunately but Clarry and the others will take care of you, they're all good people.

Stay shiny!

Hey, guys. I'm new to the U.K. (here from America to live). I can't make this shindig, but I would like to come to the next one. I'll also be at the test screening on Tuesday. Hope I get to meet some of you -- I hardly know anyone in England!

KittyKat and Saffy - Everyone is always welcome. I've only met up once with the "official" crowd, but since have shared a few drinks with people I got to know on that one evening. London is only lonely if you don't grasp the place by the horns and wrestle it to the ground.

Yay! I'll hopefully be there then :)

Jolly good fun on Saturday Clarry. Congratulations for organising a splendid shindig. It was a lovely pub, great room, very olde worldly with a marvellous view of knickerbox.

Lively company, lots of alcohol a couple of hooligans in the corner, great quiz & cake. What more can you ask for?

Always curious to find new old pubs...

Old pubs in nottingham? Like the Salutation or the Bell or the FM&C?
