I will be at the Austin screening, but so far the majority of people I have seen posting about it were unable to get tickets but might show up anyway in case someone has extras. What I want to know is how many Browncoats from the area were actually able to get their ticket(s), or did the scalpers get there first?

There has been a proposal by someone in Seattle that we conduct a food drive, not only to help out those less fortunate than ourselves, but also to help promote Serenity by getting some media attention. I am all for this idea, but since I live in Waco and won't be able to be there until a couple of hours prior to the screening, I wouldn't be able to do any of the arrangements for that.

Is this something we want to do, and if so, who can do the legwork? Anyone know someone at the Statesman or the Chronicle? Harry Knowles or someone else from aicn will likely be there so media coverage might already be guaranteed.

Also, will there be a pre-screening shindig, a post-screening shindig, or both? If so, where?

I'm not going to any screening (stupid class) but I think that this is a great idea & every city should be doing something like it.

I am in Fort Worth and was unable to get tickets because I found out about it too late. But am considering making the trip to Austin to show support for the movie, especially if I get a chance to meet other browncoats. I'll keep checking this posting for further information.

Howdy from Robogeek.com!

I'll definitely be at the Austin SERENITY screening -- and might even have an extra ticket (or two), which I'd be willing to sell at cost to a lucky Browncoat, but I won't know for sure until Monday or Tuesday. Feel free to go ahead and e-mail me at " robogeek @ robogeek . com " if interested, though please be aware I'm not making any promises.

Also, a pre- or post-screening Browncoats shindig sounds shiny!

I'm going to the screening in Austin and I live in Austin. I'd be glad to arrange this but I'm wondering how many hours in advance do you think I should be there. I have the next couple of days off to organize it but I don't want to organize it if nobody does it. So I need people to guarantee that they will participate. I'll even send an email to Harry Knowles to see if he will post it on aicn.

I bought 3 tickets right after they went on sale (about 2 a.m.). I have already sold the two extra tickets, but, I can't get to the theater until around 9:30, so I can't help with anything before the screening (stupid work).

We're planning on getting there 9-ish, depending on babysitting and will do what we can to help.

So I'll be there at about 8:30 to set up ( that is if the theater owners will allow us. Will call them later to find out) for those that would help let me know. Reply to this or email me at filmgoddess@mac.com

I'll be at the Austin showing, tickets in hand.

I don't know about helping with the food drive but I'll go grab some canned food to donate. If you can post about what you would like and where it is going to be donated that would be great. Thanks.
