Well, we're not only doing charity, and maybe it would be better if Sci-Fi would air Firefly PRIOR or AFTER June 23rd. No use trying to lure people into the theatre to watch Serenity while Firefly is on TV at the same time.
I'm looking forward to your first draft!

One day.
One plan.
One army of Browncoats.

On June 23rd, we aim to misbehave.

I like the idea of airing the show before the 23rd. Kind of a "If you like what you see here, then..." sort of thing.

Anybody know of any Browncoats near Baltimore, MD? I live near there and I'd love to do something but I'm a minor, still in high school, so I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to do in regards to finding a screening venue or getting viewing rights from Universal. Unless I can convert one of my parents...which isn't looking too promising...

And is the cafepress merchandise "official"? Does it add to the overall profits of the movie? Just wondering...

New to the 'verse but ready and more than willing to learn.

Shiny, Im in!

Well anyway here is my first banner:


-Background could be more Brown
-Maybe the text is brown and the background is space.
-Faces of characters on it, blending to make the background.

Any other feedback?

Greatz!

Great banner. And I liked that you went with Serenity Day. Personally, thats what I think we should go with because it puts more of an emphasis on the BDM, which is what we're going for.

As for feedback, could you possibly find a font similar to that used for the official Serenity ads. Or maybe something close to it. And I like the idea of fading in some of the characters into the background. Overall, though, I still like it.

One day.
One plan.
One army of Browncoats.

On June 23rd, we aim to misbehave.

Any Alberta Browncoats out there? I'm in Calgary and going to try to start off some guerilla marketing in the city. Posting flyers outside movie stores and such. Lets see some Cowtown serenification on June 23rd.

No power in the verse can stop us on June 23rd

june 23rd isn't exactly the best timing for me either sicne that'll be the last week for my summer calculus II class but i'm willing to sacrifice some sleep and maybe an ulser or two for the contribution

Why don't you start your own thread like
"Any other Buffalo, NY Browncoats want a Charity Serenity screening?" You might find some Buffalo Browncoats.

If not there is always the Albany, NY or the
New York, NY screening.

There is a yahoo group on http://www.cantstoptheserenity.com
to discuss the Charity Serenity screenings.
Sort of virtual hand holding.

All right. We need a leader and no one's stepping up.

I'll stand on the soap box. Just call me General Kaele. LOL

I'm hoping to see alot of "This is what you want? I'm getting it done! Expect an e-mail from me."

NEEDS:

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 I'll decide on the name and we'll go from there. 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!

Signature Mission: I need submissions for a "One Army of Browncoats" banner for everyone to add into their sigs. E-mail your submission to me. There will be no voting, I will choose it. Voting takes too much time. Please make it flash, include "One Army of Browncoats", "June 23rd Serenity Day" and the picture of the ship somewhere.

Avatar Mission: I need submissions for "One Army of Browncoats" avatars. Ditto above.

Webring Mission: "One Army of Browncoats" webring. I'm f'ing clueless. Do I need a programmer for this?

Webmaster Mission: I need a volunteer to begin 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 site. Get me that list and I'll get you a letter to send them.

Spam Mission: Ditto the on Yahoo groups. As well as a volunteer to go join all those groups and post info/links. In other words, I need a guinea pig spammer. Contact me to volunteer and be prepared to be called all manner of unseemly things. This will not be an easy mission.

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 to me and I'll choose one.

Podcast Mission: I need someone with a nice voice and fairly good recording software. Another commercial. I will take submissions on content.

Phone Mission: I need someone who's got unlimited long distance calling. I've got something in mind, but I'll need to discuss this with them. Only reply if you've got telemarketing experience and are willing to spend some hours on the phone.


----
I need this. You need this.

WE WILL DO THIS!

Germany was in the million dollar Box Office club
for Serenity. How about a big city near the
Autobahn. All you need is at least one really
determined and brave Browncoat and about twenty
or so other Browncoats to attend a screening.
100 would be better.
