There will be a showing of Serenity in either mid February or early March at Igor's Buddha Belly in New Orleans. ... Any of yall have any suggestions or ideas? Any input would be fantastic.

Whoo-hoo!

So are you a member of http://www.cantstoptheserenity.com/ yahoo group that serves as

"Clearinghouse for discussion of holding benefit screenings of Joss Whedon's "Serenity" (or, for that matter, episodes of "Firefly") beginning in 2006.

Both individual stand-alone benefits for various charities and a proposal for multiple same-day benefits across the country for Equality Now will be discussed.

Wherever you're located, if you're interested in trying to do a benefit screening sometime next year, please join the discussion here.

"Benefit" should be taken two ways: These screenings literally will benefit charity, but in addition we will benefit from getting to see the movie on the big screen again"

If not, maybe you should. I'm sure they would like to hear about your success.

We're really hoping to get a lot of people to show up at the Serenity screening in (most likely) early March, because then we'll be able to show an episode each week after. I heard something about drink specials, by the way. So far there's been a big response, so if we're lucky this could be something big.

New Orleans needs community right now. It's still pretty surreal, and is the biggest "frontier town" in the country in my opinion. We're having some pretty intense interactions with the "Alliance," trying to get our city back up and running. Hopefully we can get donations for Katrina relief and maybe some media coverage.

Can't stop the signal.

What is Igor's Buddha Belly?

Igor's Buddha Belly Bar and Grill is a...well..a bar and grill. Located at 4437 Magazine Street in NOLA. All proceeds will be going to Equality Now and the New Orleans Hurricane Relief Fund.

There has been a HUGE response from the local community as well as the public. Even the internet community has helped us! The exact date is a little shaky as of right now. The date is the ONLY shaky thing at this point, and this is only because of the advertising venues that have been made availible to us through the community service this project to playing with.

Everyone will be kept informed on the happenings of this event (and the events to follow).

I can only think of one more bit of advice. Try to have it before March 10th so you can tell everyone that liked it to watch Firefly on
Sci-Fi. I think that if we can get some really good ratings for the marathon, it would take great strides towards getting our show back on the air. Aside from that, you're doing great, keep up the good work!

Thank you all for your support. I especially want to thank the Browncoat known as 11th Hour for allowing us to use some AWESOME guerilla advertising! http://the11thhour.home.att.net/

Seems like Sunday, March 5th is probably the day. What fun!

Can't stop the signature.

Thank you so much for your support. You can help by telling your friends. The more enthusiastic people who show up, the better the future of this will be. My hope is that it turns into an enthusiastic community of N.O. Browncoats, with a weekly screening.

Anyone who would like to help distribute flyers or help in any way would be bestowed medals and honored in an official manner. We would get very choked up. Honestly, there could be tears.
