Tampa screening went down great, not a huge crowd but cantstoptheserenity.com has us listed as bringing in $1,400. Hooray Tampa Bay!!!
I also picked up one of those brown t-shirts that have the equality now logo crossing over the serenity one. How come none of the UK showings are listed on the back?

Chicago screening was a blast! I'm proud of the people who organized it, I was so excited! They played Joss's speech on Equality Now before the showing, then afterwards played Mosquito, which was hilarious, and then had a shiny prize raffle. Way to go, Chicago Browncoats!

You DO know that "hwai" means "shit", right? You gotta pick up on your Mandarin, dude.

Yikes. The word I was going for was swai, though I suppose that may not be applicable to inanimate objects. But in any case, the evening was extremely handsome and not shitty at all.

In my defense, I can only plead that I wrote my post after a few hours' sleep following 24 hours awake.

And thanks for making me

... really needed one of those, dude.

Just got back from Pittsburgh this evening...we flew all the way there from Philly to see the BDM on the big screen!! (Yep - we bought our tickets before the Philly screening was announced.)

Pittsburgh is a GREAT city and the showing of the BDM in Oakmont was a wonderful success. About 100 Browncoats came out and clearly everyone enjoyed the evening. Fun raffle of Serenity/Firefly shirts, a Jayne Hat, posters and key chains. Lots of clapping and cheering and general Firefly enthusiasm.

The two young ladies who organized the event did a wonderful job...THANKS SO MUCH!!

I went to the Chicago screening. Loved it. Didn't win the raffle. Liked the Fan parody-Mosquito.

We had the melbourne screening friday night. Only 5 people dresse dup out of 200, but a couple of them did a really good job - especially 'Kaylee', who won. There were quite a few prizes donated for a raffle - there is a convention here in october with the trio from buffy, and Amber Benson, so a few prizes were tickets to that, couple of signed pics etc.

Anyway, I had fun, it was a good night. Really weird though - 6 people got up and walked out at various times.... Not sure if they were first time viewers who got freaked out (the first people left after Mal made them put the bodies on the boat) and then some more left late after they viewed the recording on Miranda.... or maybe they had somewhere else to be and they just came to support the event...

Apparently raised aprox AU $1600 for Equality Now.....

Got a screening in 5 days. Us in Auckland are a little behind the times, but we need the time to sell the remaining tickets.

Congratulations to all. Does anyone know if any of the showings were covered by any news agencies, local or otherwise? I hope it happens again next year so I can try harder to take a couple days off to attend one.

Well I went to the one in Philadelphia. I went all alone and knew no one and had an absolute blast! Everyone was so friendly. Plus I got to see our BDH on the big screen! *w0ot!*

Just been to http://cantstoptheserenity.com/ and it says that the Phillie browncoats raised $1,000.25!

^__^

Yay for dedication. Hope to keep in touch with eveyone I met yesterday! And I hope the dvd sales for Serenity keep going up. Does anyone know where Serenity is on the chart at the moment?
