Ask not what Firefly can do for you, but what can you do for Firefly?

My wife gives me a wink and a laugh everytime we go anywhere that sells DVDs. The second I walk into the store, be it Wal Mart, Target, Best Buy, Suncoast, or what have you, I make a bee line for the DVD section. I look for the Firefly DVDs and if they are not in a good spot, I move them. I will face them out so they can be seen easily and are at eye level. If I do not see any on the shelf, I ask a salesperson if they have it in stock and where I can find it.

I also lurk for awhile in the DVD section, striking up conversations w/ people looking at science fiction DVD sets and telling them about Firefly and actually putting the set in their hands to look over. I am surprised I don't get hired by the stores. LOL I have actually had several people take the set to the counter to purchase.

Nothin' more satisfying then them as can spreading the word of Firefly.

I always rearrange the Firefly DVD's! Covers facing out, top shelf if possible. And I do this in spite of my husband's groans and eye-rolling. Don't have the courage to talk it up to strangers yet, but working on it.

Excellent idea! Do you always write the same thing or have you ever varied? I would be overjoyed to get a bill that had good propaganda on it. I'm going to start.

I'm with y'all on this one too.

All the money in my wallet now has pro firefly messages. Great idea!

Good idea with the money; I'm looking for a pen right now. The other day, I went to Borders, and as can be expected, Firefly was in a corner where no one could see it. I moved it up in front of 24 Season 1 where it would be most visible. I try to help.

Wow! Some great stories here! I'm glad to see that there are loads of Browncoats out there, all doing their bit to help the cause.

I like that "tagging the money" idea... might try that myself, although here in Canada, it seems that, aside from debit & credit cards, my loonies and toonies get far more use than any paper bills... especially at Tim Horton's. That said, I will certainly endeavor to add a little pro-Firefly message to any bills that pass through my hands.

I'm also of the mind to print off a few Firefly message stickers of some kind and use them to seal envelopes and such that are destined for the post office. Anything to spread the word and keep flyin'...

It looks like the Targets are no longer carrying Firefly. I sent someone there when she said she wanted to buy the dvd's, not finding it she found someone who worked there and asked about it, they told her, they bought a copy and when it sells they're done.

What kind of customer service is that?

Luckily she was more annoyed than discouraged as she ordered it off amazon. phew.

Target isn't a very good store. They have really bad customer service, rip off and trick their customers.

Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.

Putting "Fireflyfans.net" on the money might
work better as it is easier to write and would
be a better reference for people to go to even
though they have no idea what you exactly you
are talking about...

Like Fireflyfans.net?

I bought a coat. It's brown. I'm totaly going to start doing the money thing. Way cool.

my birthday is coming up and i plan on having firefly party. Were going to stay up all night watching firefly! yay!

i also just thought of something...next time you get a book out of the library, sribble a note on a scrap of paper saying something like firefly rules! and where people can ge they're hands on a DVD, and shove it in the book.

and if you've got a website or a blog by all means, get the word out there!

Theres also a thread aroung here somewhere about staging a fox boycott. If we can get enough people to boycott, then we can get the message to them. Is anybody actually organizing this???
if you are then i would be happy to help get the word out to people and the media.
