Guess I should add myself to this one. Wish I knew about that screening sooner, only an hour or so drive away. I became aware of Firefly as an overall Joss fan but was put off importing the DVD's due to the `western-themed` thing.
Then I gradually heard more and more about the fan struggle (which I'm disappointed to say now I didn't get as involved in as I should have with it being overseas), bought the DVD set on UK launch day once I saw it on the shelves and the rest is the familiar tale of addiction that anyone who sees it goes through instantly. ;)
Whether I'm `hardcore` enough to call myself a Browncoat I'm still not sure or confident enough on. To my credentials on that... imported the US dvd of Serenity *and* bought the UK version *and* the HD-DVD (even though I do not and will not own HD-compatible junk for many years yet at a guess), read the entire script for Dead or Alive, I have three international posters, an actual Serenity prop (Maidenhead Bar metal tankard from the prop store of London site), just about every shred of printed material on Firefly/Serenity I can find and all of the figures. Mostly for the fairly terrible representations of most of them. ;)
Anyway, this place is indeed great for meeting interesting people and talking 'Verse.

Hey, I'm a fan from Ireland, I downloaded the series about 6 months ago (I know I'm cheap!) at my brothers request and never watched it as I was put off simply because it was a sci-fi but after a few friends recommended it I decided to give it a whirl and well........ IT ROCKED!!

Hmmm....yeah lets hope Universal weren't paying too much attention to the number of people that attended yesterday's screening. I guess there the cinema was maybe 10% full? If that...
I had a great time though, Serenity is awesome on the big screen, especially the sound! And you pick up details that you might miss on the TV (or I did anyway). Two of mine were:
1. What is Kaylee doing when Wash tells her to heat up Serenity? Looks like she is smelling a bit of cloth (please don't let them be Simon's pants...)
2. Wash backing away from Kaylee in Maidenhead after she says 'Tell that to Inara' and storms off! I laughed out loud!
So, Anonymous 1, who were you?
The guy in the Blue Sun shirt?
The guy who laughed really hard at every joke? Those are my two most likely candidates for some reason!
