I won`t post 2 replies to your questions

We haven`t actually got a set plan at the moment for the evening but there is a room & a projector/screen available + food can be laid on (buffet).

Hopefully Andy(Fade2Black) will have more info, the prices haven`t been set but an overnight stay in the hotel is about £20 (Don`t know if that includes breakfast or whether breakfast is extra)

Hopefully in the nxt month, we can get some info on costs and such, but the more the merrier, it`s a great chance to get the word out prior to the release of the film.

My only worry at the moment, is that the *possible* UK Screenings would clash, but the screenings are not confirmed (although one in the birminghma area would work out quite nicely )

keep checking the website & message posts for info & updates on who/what/why/when & how.

I'll try and get there but my son wants to go to the Dr Who exhibition instead.

I'm mainly wanting to go to say hi to "buttmonkey" from Oxford and "Heather" from Swindon. I don't know any other Browncoats nearby!

P.S. Shouldn't this be a flantable?

I think the challenge will be to convert your son to a full browncoat .

It will be great to see as many people as possible who can make it, with UIP in attendance you never know what might happen

the fantable is over 2 days, so if you can`t make one day and you live close by it will be worth the trip.

Hi I just thought I would give my tuppence worth here.

This is the first event sponsored by UIP to promote the movie Serenity. Although it has been set up by and funded by Browncoats, UIP realise that the passion is all-important to the promotion of the movie.

This event will not clash with any proposed screenings of the movie also being promoted by UIP.

HOWEVER, they aim to use it as an opportunity to spread the word among NON-Browncoats and are hoping that we Browncoats will do out bit for the cause.

We aim to push the movie by running the trailers on our table using a TFT tv to show people exactly how good this movie will be. Additionally, we will be selling and/or giving away merchandise from the movie. Some of it is official and some of it is fan made.

As we all know the movie NEEDS your help to get the word out there. It is unlikely that people will simply just stroll into the cinema to see it unless there is a real buzz about it and that is where the Browncoats can come into it. We have 10,000 potential converts attending the Memorabilia event.

PLEASE COME AND GIVE SOME TIME BY HANDING OUT FLYERS AROUND THE EVENT AND SHOWING YOUR ENTHUSIASM FOR THE SHOW/MOVIE.

The shindig on the Saturday night is simply to give Browncoats something to do overnight between the two days on the stand. We will be meeting and getting to know Browncoats from around the UK.

We will also have some fan videos that are rarely seen as they are not available on the internet. There will be the chance to dress up in your best fancy dress gear and enjoy the company of fellow flans.

Our raffle has a couple of amazing prizes one being a full-weekend pass to Serenity the Flanvention in LA in December, another being a signed cast shot with 9 amazing autographs on it obtained courtesy of Summer Glau. We also have items signed by Summer herself too.

All profits from this event will go directly to charity.

I REPEAT, PLEASE COME AND GIVE YOUR TIME TO MAKE THIS A HUGELY SUCCESSFUL PROMOTION UNLIKE THE DEBACLE OF THE LONDON FILM AND COMIC CON. UIP WANT THIS TO BE A SUCCESS AND SO DO THE CAST THEMSELVES.
