The North Carolina Big Damn Movie Premiere Party, hereafter referred to as the NCBDMPP, is 90% a BIG DAMN GO!!!
I've spoken with the Universal Rep, and while there are some legal loose ends to tie up, something about Theatres not being allowed to formally 'bid' for a film without a screening, it seems that Mr. Peebles, the owner of the Ambassador Entertainment, took it upon himself and established a relationship with the Universal Rep on our behalf, so that Universal has pretty much decided that Mission Valley Theatre will be an excellent venue for both the showing of the film AND our Premiere Event. You can find Mission Valley here:

The folks at 'Versal to whom this info is relevant are aware that fans nationwide are planning major premiere events with theatres and are apparently quite excited about it. To quote the 'Versal rep who spoke to me. . .

So you Browncoats are planning to make us some money, huh? We love people that make us money!
So it looks like we're going to be at Mission Valley, which is convenient to hotels and resturants, has plenty of parking, a nice-sized lobby, and an owner who had already agreed early in the summer to allow us to have the NCBDMPP in the first place!
Huzzah! Looks like this stuff is falling into place!!!

I'll be there!!!
I will find a way to get there and see Serenity with my Browncoat friends. Sounds like we may have a large treehouse group there...that would be cool.

TheGreyJedi and I are both performers with the Carolina Renaissance Festival, and here is the plan that we're following. . .
Several Browncoats will be guests of Casa Del Static that weekend. We'll head to Raleigh from Greensboro (about an hour) for the movie on Friday Night. . .then we'll be leaving the theatre and hauling ass to Charlotte (2-2.5 hrs from Raleigh) where we already have hotel suites reserved, so we can get a reasonable ammount of sleep before the opening weekend of the Renaissance Festival.
I'm going to attempt to work it out so that Browncoats who attend the Raleigh premiere get some free or discounted tix to the Renaissance Festival.

Shiny!
So, Are you and Grey in Greensboro or the Raliegh/Triad area? I'm currently in Charlotte, But seriously considering moving to the triad, Just need to work things out to have a job when I get there. This is mostly due to a friend moving up there and already having other friends there, and well continuing to be disappointed with the quality of life in Charlotte. Either way I'm in for the premire. If I can get a place in the triad and work there prior to the premire, I may have some 'crash space' for other Browncoats coming in for the NCBDMPP.

Excellent news, Static!
So would you recommend fireflyfans in other areas of the country who are interested in organizing a shindig to contact their regional rep?

We live in the Greensboro/Piedmont Triad area. Raliegh/Durham/Chapel Hill(go heels!) is the Triangle. And yes, Charlotte sucks.

I strongly recommend getting in touch with a theatre owner in your area, securing their 'blessing' to host a premiere event, then contacting your regional 'Versal rep to make sure THEY know that those are your intentions.
818-777-1000 is the number for Universal Pictures Information. Ask for Universal Pictures Distribution Division.
I had not thought to ask for promotional materials from 'Versal to help with the event, but thanks to someone's suggestion, I'll do that on Monday!
