Looks like we have a good bunch of Browncoats in WI. Anyone who hasn't yet should probably put there dot on the Browncoat World Map, off the link on the main page. We need to show the world just how many beer drinkin Browncoats we got in this great state.
Hows that theater lookin into going BrownCoatRecruiter?

These theaters showed Serenity in November 2005.

WI 53154 Oak Creek Marcus Value Cinema Oak Creek
WI 53713 Monona Marcus South Towne Cinemas

Maybe they would be interested in having a Serenity/Firefly filmfest.

I too did not think this was possible because of Fox and such. BUT A FIREFLY/SERENITY MARATHON IS HAPPENING AT A THEATER The Del Mar theater in Santa Cruz, CA

They are going to show Serenity at midnight on March 31. And every episode of Firefly followed by Serenity on April 1, 2006.

Serenity Marathon on April 1st.

I do not know if humans answer their phones, but here is The Del Mar's contact number 831-469-3220
If you reach a real nice person or maybe a Browncoat they might be able to tell you how to arrange a Firefly/Serenity screening that the public can buy tickets for.

First, you need to find a theater in WI that does film fests or midnight marathons or even midnight shows.

There is a yahoo group set up to discuss charity screenings of Serenity. theonetruebix has
"relevant contact information at Universal (for those planning charity benefit screenings of Serenity this year), in the database section of the CSTS group on Yahoo!"

He is trying to get Browncoats to arrange charity screenings of Serenity on June 23, 2006 (Joss's birthday)

I think the first thing he recommends is to find the theater venue.

So is this idea still going down. I have a place we can use a big screen tv for a viewing, but otherwise whats going down?

Here's another one in Madison!
As far as theatres go, the Orpheum seems like a possibility. They've shown anime on DVD, the Rocky Horror Picture Show is a regular there, and they had a one night showing of "We Jam Econo", the Minutemen documentary, complete with local bands doing Minutemen covers afterwards. Maybe this is something they'd do.

I haven't got any info on the De Pere theatre in Green Bay yet. Sorry for the delay folks but school has got me pretty busy at the moment. However, I'll be looking into the matter this Wed., Mar. 1st. I like the idea of a charity event but I don't know how many people we would have to contribute to it. So, if that's the case then a free screening would be nice too, but I don't know if we would have enough time for a marathon event. If anyone else has any thoughts, please let me know. Thanks.

So here's what I know so far. The DePere Cinema in DePere WI can be rented on the weekends typically about 2mo. in advance for 2hrs and 15-30min. before 1:00pm. So unfortunately no marathon there. We would need a minimum of 16 people at a charge of $5.00 a head for a total of at least $80.00(not too bad) and each person would recieve a free soda and popcorn with that entry fee. They also serve pizzas for $7.00 a pop.

I could certainly set this up if there is enough interest but it really sucks that our time would be so limited and so early in the day. What does everyone else think? I do have the option of setting up an all day event on the UWGB campus as I am the co-chair of the student film society on campus. I could do this for free but the facilities are considerably smaller, the sound is nowhere near as good as a real theatre, and we wouldn't have the snacks and beverages option (execpt for vending machine stuff).

I need so feedback on this folks, so please let me know what y'all think about this. If anyone has any other ideas or inclinations, let's hear 'em.

Certainly sounds like you're doing a bang-up job with this thing. I guess it really depends what people ultimately want to do. If we just want to watch Serenity on the big screen again, I'd go with the $80 theater. If we wanted to do the marathon, I'd nab the university screen.

My 2 cents

I am shiny with just watching the movie again on the big screen. I think the main point of this whole thing is to commune with fellow Browncoats. 16 people shouldn't be hard to get (could probably bring 2 or 3 besides myself) and we could always go out after if we really feel the need to continue the day. $5 a head is real cheap, plenty of cashy money for brews after. If people really want a marathon I would be game for that to though.
