Cross-posting from the OB. WE ONLY HAVE TWO MORE DAYS UNTIL FIREFLY RE-AIRS ON THE SCI-FI CHANNEL!!! GET OUT THERE AND CONVERT, PEOPLE!!! MA-shong!

From: 11thHour Jul-19 8:56 pm

Just thought I'd let folks know that I've revised several of my guerilla marketing posters to promote the Firefly series rebroadcast on the Sci-Fi channel!

Let's make the most of this wonderful opportunity to gather new fans to our ranks! More Firefly fans means more movie tickets purchased for Serenity... and we want healthy box office returns for our shiny BDM. 'Cause good returns means SEQUELS.

mmmmmmm.... Seeeeequels...

So please, by all means, download the regular size or a nice group of mini posters, and start spreadin' the word in a serious way. (Btw, not all of the posters have the Sci-Fi info, but the majority do.)

Please take a look and make good use of 'em!

while playing the international trailer in the office this morning, attracted the attention of a co-worker. pulled the DVD out of my computer bag and gave him the short version. showed him the US trailer. he noted the Friday hijinks in his Palm and went away a more informed person. I believe that I have made a convert.

created my latest e-message to several dozen folks about this coming Friday's bodacious-ness, added a little about the movie, and included links to both the US and international trailers. let it sit on my taskbar for review before sending it out, wound up adding a link for the Dutch trailer and the James Doohan 411.

I've now seen the ad twice on Sci-Fi in the last 24 hours (owing just as much to lack of frequency, to my own laziness, so no hard feelings there).

Is there a link online to watch this promo (assuming there's only one) again and again? Cuz there SHOULD be...

(hint, hint...)

11th Hour,

I love your site and have been taking your posters with me to video rental stores, movie theaters, cattle feed stores, and barbecue joints. Last night I wore the shirt I made with iron-ons of your work at the Spider House showing of "Jaynestown" and "Out of Gas," where I sang my Ballad of Joss and preached a little sermon about how helpful your art is in guerilla marketing. I also included a link to your site on the third page of my MP3 postcard. I hope you don't mind. I put out the postcard right now in hopes that it will remind people to tell everyone about Firefly.

Let's hope everyone else will get out there and do their part! I've posted several announcements to my band's fan club Yahoo group; posting on Yahoo is a great way to spread the word, folks!

We will rise again!

Quicksand, I posted a torrent of the SciFi ad on PirateBay (thepiratebay dot org) - search for "firefly" and you'll find it.

Cedric,

You're doin' powerful good works out there in the world. So gratifying to know that the posters are being used for what they were born to do. And to answer your question, I don't mind my site being linked in order to help promote our beloved show/movie. It's a good site to let folks know about... not just for using the posters, but also for providing the extra Firefly/Serenity links at the bottom of the page. Helps the newbies find their way around to many of the main sites.

Kudos to you for all your work in getting the word out!

Lots of talk radio shows (Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, etc.) have "open" lines on Fridays where they let people call in about whatever they want to. Those nationally syndicated shows have audiences in the millions. It'd be worth a shot.

Man, I've fallen into lurking lately, but just braggin' on m'self -

--Have recently converted at least one person I've never actually met on the strength of my LJ raves alone. :)

--Have today done another LJ rave, complete with super-mini-descriptions + pics of all characters, link to the international trailer, link to Sci-fi's schedule, and a random link to a semi-objective article

--Have just recieved a comment from one LJ friend, and I quote, "I don't watch TV (hardly ever) so be sure to email me every hour on Friday to remind me; and when you get home from work, email me every half hour. Or every ten minutes. Or call me? Do you have my number? Call me."

Aaaaah. Shiny.
