SciFiChannel ran all of Firefly, in the correct order, on Friday nights leading up to the BDM premiere, and they also had one of their SciFiInside specials devoted to the BDM a few days before 9/30. They have also aired the show in their daytime rotation several times since, the next case being Friday, July 14, ten episodes back-to-back (Safe thru Objects in Space). Get people to tape that marathon, or tape it or dvr it yourself to loan out.

I ordered two copies of Serenity on Friday, and as soon as amazon ships them one will go to my local library, and I did the same with Firefly a couple of years ago. The other will be a loaner copy.

PVP and Penny Arcade have both promoted Firefly/Serenity, along with several others I can't recall the name of at the moment, but they are usually linked to here whenever anyone runs across them.

I attended ApolloCon yesterday and got to meet Greg Edmonson, who is as big a Firefly fan as the rest of us, and all the other people involved in the production from Joss on down are too. Everyone who gave their opinion yesterday, both panel participants and fans in the audience all agreed that the time will come when the numbers will start to appeal to the suits in Hollywood, and we will get a sequel. It won't be as soon as we'd like of course, since Joss is busy with Wonder Woman and then Goners, but make no mistake about it, Malcolm Reynolds was right about one thing - "I think we'll rise again."

Good news. Goooood news.
A LOT of good news these days. Me happy.

As for the webcomic, I'm already planning one (don't worry, I make a living with comic books), but I'd still kinda prefer if one of the big webcomic teams would do it, just so it gets more attention - those sites have a LOT of traffic.
Apart from that, those guys rock!

The Serenity Summer Campaign is on, baby - prepare to kick some serious pigu!
September 30th is Serenity 'Versary! Be there or be a purple-belted poop-head. (<- not the official slogan.)
I'm so into Firefly, my butt glows in the dark.

Here's what I think we should try: organise Shindigs, lots of 'em. Tell our non-Browncoat (gasp!) friends what we're doing on Saturday night and invite them along. Way I see it, if that doesn't do the trick, what will? Mind you, I haven't the faintest notion what goes into pulling a Shindig together, but if we can do the impossible...well, you know the rest. If your local library has a film room, that's a good place to start - we did something similar here in the Philly area earlier this year, holding mini-marathons of each disc. Not quite a Shindig, but it could very easily be gestated into one.

Aaaaand, once September rolls around, how many of your college campuses have student union centers? The 'versity I went to had an entire three-story building for 'em, complete with two movie theaters, a stage theater and a couple dozen meeting rooms. Prime for a Shindig, if you ask me. Then you can do your own advertising around the campus, which is bound to have a few sci-fi fans floating around who are Firefly-illiterate.

So....trap?

KSB, do you have the addresses for those involved in your local screening?
Are they up at cantstopthesignal?

Does anyone have clever Firefly postcards we can print up and use for our thank you notes?

I don't know. Sorry. Maybe we can get a shout out to get those folks to recognize themselves.

I already sent an e-mail to the newspaper guys. Hopefully I'll get a response.

11th Hour's Poster site has great artwork that can be reduced to postcards-
I used the Zoe one with "Where men are men and Women are Smart, Strong, Sexy" - figured it meshes with Equality Now.

Here's a link to the Wilmington Browncoats Yahoo group. Nothing's really been set in stone yet, and at this point it's just been talk. But keep in touch, we need as much help as we can get.
