Updated 4/23/06 8:55pm
Website Mission: Seba has volunteered to head up the website. I love him for it and if I weren't happily married, I'd give him a big wet smooch. I may just do that anyway...
Please check out the site now, www.serenityday.org also works. It has my contact information up there and a place to purchase the DVD. We're doing Universal, so THIER site will see a sales spike.
There is also a forum being worked on so we're not cluttering up Haken's poor boards with this. Just don't stop posting HERE about other things or I'll be on Haken's naughty list!
Signature Mission: Please change your signatures to this:
One day.
One mission.
One army of Browncoats.
On June 23rd, we aim to misbehave.
http://www.serenityday.org/
www.serenityjune23rd.com works just as well too!
Banner Mission: All submissions are to be sent to pizzaaoow@yahoo.com MalNourished is in command of this mission. Please have all banner submissions sent to her by April 22nd. Content should include some form of "Serenity Day, June 23rd" and "Browncoat Army".
Avatar Mission: I need submissions for "Serenity Day" avatars, please try to include some form of "June 23rd Serenity Day" OR "Browncoat Army" or both. MalNourished can also take these submissions.
Webring Mission: "Browncoat Army" webring. I've had a few volunteers and I swear I'll get back to you soon!
Webmaster Contact Mission: Any volunteers for this mission, please contact followmal@gmail.com You will be combing the web for all Firefly and Serenity related sites. We're going to start e-mailing those webmasters to link to the Serenity Day/Browncoat Army site and to hopefully display our banner.
FollowMal is prepping her squad and will get a letter to me. She'll then be splitting up mailing assignments for her volunteers to hit them.
Spam Mission: ZISKER has volunteered for this mission. Please visit http://www.geocities.com/browncoatsignalcorps to volunteer to help. This is to get the word out on BROWNCOAT related groups ONLY. (eg. Yahoo groups, Browncoat forums)
Blog Mission: I need a movie submission to be put up on people's Myspace, LJ, blogspot, and any other blog related site for Browncoats to upload to their blogs. I want a mini-commercial. Submit them to me please.
Podcast Mission: Been taken on by Otma. Got a first draft back and we're working on it!
Radio Mission: Chindi will be handling this one. She will be sending care packages of DVDs to radio stations for them to give away on Serenity Day as contest prizes. Anyone who can mail me with information as to the largest local morning radio show in these cities would be greatly appreciated: Washington DC, NYC, Chicago, Seattle, Vancouver, Kansas City, Boston. (We've already got Philly, SF, and L.A. covered) I need to get her a letter and a list of radio stations.
Anyone else who would like to do a care package to another city's radio station, please let me know. I can get you a letter to include and suggestions as to content.
Serenity Day Swag: Being worked on. KuangZheDe is working on an excellent tee shirt design. We've also got someone working on bumper stickers, magnets, and uh...forehead tattoos. (sorry, had to add that one in there! This was getting WAY too serious.)

I need this. You need this.

Browncoat MalN reporting for duty. OK, that's cheesy, but I'm trying to get in the spirit here.
Please email signatures to pizzaaoow@yahoo.com, and put "Signature Mission" in the subject header.

Sergeant FollowMal reporting for duty as well.
Will get started combing the web. Saw the other thread had a list... that is a good place to start.
Come on folks, lets really do this thing. You all are so fired up and ready to go. Let's get crews together to help in each stage and let's get going!
One day.
One plan.
One army of Browncoats.
On June 23rd, we aim to misbehave.

Website Mission: I need someone with the server space and the cashy money to register a domain name. Anyone who can, please e-mail me: ml_mcfadden@yahoo.com Please also consider some form of BB? If you can afford it, wonderful. - Pizmo, gimme a buzz and let me know what you're willing to contribute!
Hi Kaele, and other BCs reading this thread,
Here's what I know: Maxrimstain, the Browncoat who posted the first thread that got us all revved up:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=19719
did step up and did start a web page:
www.straightfromthehorsesmouth.co.uk/firefly
Kaele, you have a lot of great ideas, but for the sake of clarity and focus I suggest you can contact him (I'm sure he can use the help!). Domain names and web space have been purchased and a web page will follow shortly (I believe April 20th is the target date).

May I suggest also coming up with a plaintext signature for people to put in regular email? Just something simple - the date, a tagline, etc - but a consistent wording and layout. Preferably just one or two lines so people can combine it with sigs they already have, even in situations where long sigs are discouraged (I post in a few such).
Not sure whether it fits as the Signature Mission or some other mission, but there ought to be banners people can put on their own homepages. In a variety of sizes but consistent styling...

How's this sit for a letter to Universal/Sci-Fi Channel? Short, sweet and shiny, methinks.

Dear {head honcho},
My name is Jana, and I am a Browncoat. If you don't know what that is, you will soon.
On June 23rd, the fans of the TV show Firefly and the film Serenity will be showing their strength in the greatest fan-based advertising and fundraising campaign in the history of television. Browncoats worldwide will be puchasing copies of the Serenity DVD to show our numbers and desire for a sequel and beyond. In addition, charity film screenings and other events - shindigs, as we like to call them - will be taking place worldwide to raise money for several charities including Serenity Now/Equality Now.
Malcolm Reynolds says in the pilot of the TV show, "We have done the impossible, and that makes us mighty." Half-seasons of TV shows do not make it onto DVD let alone launched onto the big screen. We've done the impossible.
On June 23rd, watch us do it again.
See you in the world,
Jana

And of course the original and unrelated plan for June 23: Charity screenings of Serenity to benefit Equality Now.
http://www.cantstoptheserenity.com/
Thirteen cities currently planning such screenings.
June 23
* Albany NY (USA) - The Palace Theater
* Boston MA (USA) - Coolidge Corner Theater
* Denver CO (USA) - Pre-Planning
* Fresno CA (USA) - Pre-Planning
* Los Angeles CA (USA) - Pre-Planning
* Minneapolis MN (USA) - Riverview Theater
* Montreal QC (Canada) - Pre-Planning (Likely Canadian Charity)
* New York City NY (USA) - Pre-Planning
* Portland OR (USA) - Pre-Planning
* Santa Barbara CA (USA) - Pre-Planning
* Toronto ON (Canada) - Pre-Planning (Likely Canadian Charity)
June 24 (See Note Below)
* Bloomington IN (USA) - Pre-Planning
* Seattle WA (USA) - Pre-Planning
Note: The ideal remains either coordinated same-day screenings on June 23, or screenings on days during the week leading into that day, in order to be able to announce the grand total on Joss' actual birthday. If you absolutely, positively, cannot find a way to avoid selecting June 24 you will still be included as part of this effort.

Yes. But, it's trivial to do.
