Sorry from me too, Ben. As much as I was looking forward to the snow it had to come along at the worst possible time and ruin our fun. I hope you still get a turnout, and if in the future you ever host another Serenity shindig, you can count me in!

I couldn't hear anyone very well either, but it was good to meet all of you. (Thanks again, Ben for organizing!)

...Tell me again where you got your Blue Sun shirt?...
Ben can set us straight, but I'm guessin' it came from
http://www.bluesunshirts.com/
Interesting note on the logo: There are two different logos used for Blue Sun, each with a different Chinese character used for "Blue." My Chinese wife said that the logo on that shirt actually says "Green Sun" but according to another thread at http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=7793 that character apparently can have different meanings. According to the same thread both versions were official.

Damnit, man, I couldn't make it for EITHER screening. I specificaly requested Friday and Saturday off, but I guess it was too important for my supervisors to go out and drink then to give me the ONLY weekend days I've ever requested off.
I'm going to leave a letter of protest in the office the day before I take my two weeks off so they can stew over me possibly not comming back. For the record, the two weeks off is NOT personal time, and I will not be getting paid for it. It is for a surgery and I'll likely be bed ridden for a good portion of it, and yet this qualifies as "personal time" to deny me one of the few things I may have actually found enjoyment in.
Sorry if I'm complaining a lot, but this is really shitty of them to do. I'm sorry I didn't make the movie, I swear to you I would have come, even with the freggin snow.

Last night was a thoroughly shiny time! The Grog *was* a mite loud (apologies to them as had their names or screen names mangled or plum forgotten by yours truly!).
Ben's wee trivia contest before the screening was a good time, and partly made up for having to miss tonight's screening. Did anyone make it? Looking a little like a cool night on St. Alban's out there. I hope everyone is safe (by which I do *not* mean abducted by hill people!).
Again, the maddest of props to Ben. Hope to see you all at the next cine-'dig.

a quick note just to say saturday night's screening was more intimate, but impressive! i'll be posting photos on can't stop the serenity dot com!
we had 53 tonight! in the blizzard! so not the turnout i had hoped for originally (think we could have beat 150!), BUT he biggest show OF THE SATURDAY TOTAL!
Usually we have about 400-550 total for the two movies at 7. Tonight, with snow, we had about 40.
Serenity beat both movies at midnight!
So pretty damn shiny.
You guys rock.
Sorry some of you couldn't make it out - and of course i absolutely understand. I hope everyone got home safe tonight.
The theater owners have been impressed for sure, so i'm looking forward to having another booking in the future...
The only question is: should it be soon? Or should we let it lay fallow?
Your thoughts!
Good night everyone - I'm off to bed! But I have to say these two screenings are my favorite Firefly memory yet... even beating opening night in NYC with a sold out house.
Thanks for rocking browncoats.
Good night!
-Ben

Faster. Faster would be better!
I'm thinking of sending off my cash that I would have spent at the movie with a nice little note saying: please show this again when there isn't any snow. I promise to help with e-mailings and such again if you promise to do it again soon. Heck, I'll even put up posters around Chester County.
Hubby left me alone last night as I was unbearable. I had to pop in Serenity all by my wee lonesome and it still didn't help.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do this again soon.

I suggest a Friday/Saturday in Spring. It would be nice to have a month notice if at all possible, so that flans can plan their calendar, and we can get the word out to media. What are the chances for a pre-screening get-together in the theater's cafe for the Friday night? It would be a lot better for conversation.
