CRUSHING DISAPPOINTMENT...

...is not in store! Good things are coming... to a theater (possibly) near you!

It's Joss, your roving reporter, with another ZOWIE! exclusive(!) hot off the presses! Browncoats Bring Boffo B.O.! Vegas Vibe Very Vivacious! You heard it first here, true believers...

Okay, first of all, being that guy is exhausting. So no more roving and on to the meat of the thing. I just saw the whole cast today (which is in itself a wonderful and rare thing) and we all compared notes on the screenings, the general feeling being: damn. As in, Big Damn. You guys were SO sweet. We all thought it was a grand time. More (or at least just as) importantly, the Uni Brass thought it worked out great too, so... wait for it... there's gonna be more.

You might have heard rumors, but I'm here to confirm. On thursday the 26th the studio is doing another round of hit-and-run screenings, and this time it's not ten cities -- it's twenty. It's another vote of confidence from the studio and another chance for us to say "thanks" to you guys for keeping this all rolling. And most importantly, another chance to run that videotape of me before the movie, looking so tragically sexy.

"Wait a minute! What cities!?!?! Hey, %#$@face, stop talking about how sexy you are (although you are confessedly quite the dish) and give us the info!" Well, I don't actually know. I think we'll be repeating in the cities we've hit and adding 10 new ones. I expect can'tstopthesignal will have the info some time tomorrow, and let the manager-threatening begin! (Or, you know, the ticket buying.) Hopefully one of those cities will be near you, and won't be one where the film breaks and has to start again (heh heh... professional showbusiness... ). I don't know if any of the peeps is gonna be able to come out this time, but if they can they will, and I know Jewel's going somewhere 'cause she was working last time.

That's it! Except to add that Summer and I were pretty overwhelmed last Thurs, and I got the impression everyone else was too. Of course everyone else didn't have to put up with Summer's constant whispering of "I SAVED this film, Hackboy!" or her "surefire" system of winning at craps that had me down six large come the dawn... That girl. Just trouble.

Enough with this post. You guys are beyond swell. Let the party continue.

I had to miss the first showing in Austin (it was reachable, but other committments intervened).

Now, if they'll only add Dallas to their list...

This is SO cool! I'm definitely going to one of these THIS time!!

Thanks for the cross fertilization - I've passed on the good news to the OB, too.

Avoid going to that thread, at least until tomorrow when the moderator can clean it up -- a troll is posting all sorts of nasty images to it.

Jayne, your mouth is talkin. Might want to look into that.

actually that troll is really going to a great deal of effort,
I kinda like the Joss as Jesus one...
anyway, to important business:

do you think tickets will go on sale later tonight? Like at midnight LA time?
or do you think they'll go on sale tomorrow night:
like at 11:59pm LA time?
or maybe tomorrow is just a guestimate anyway...

do you think the tickets will sell out as quickly?
or even faster?

How many tickets do you think will end up on eBay?

They'll go faster. Especially since Joss has posted this publically in advance on the sites visited by Browncoats.

Thanks for the heads up, rklenseth!

I sure hope Universal and the movie theaters do something about the ticket buying situation so that as many fans as possible can make it.

It's a good thing I'll be out of the country that week so I'm not tempted to hit a second screening and deprive a first-timer of a ticket .

Oh, and that is weird about the troll image thing. Someone has way too much time on their hands and an unhealthy fixation on Joss. (I, of course, had to take one for the team and inspect the images to make sure they were just as bad as Shiny described.).

Yeah... and I'm going to be in PA interviewing for a really cool job on the 26th....

That's the bad news. BUT<<< Several of the people that work there, including the CEO are Firefly fans. It's making me go "hmmmm..."

Is there anyway to get this in the headline section? I think is should be there.

*cries*.

I'm going to be visiting my parents and, while conceivably could make it to Austin, it'd be a little far to drive [especially by myself]. My brother would LOVE to go but /might/ not be able to since he'll still be in school (graduating that weekend though... so I'll see).

Maybe there will be one in Dallas, that would be a lot better.
