Today is the day for Ariel!

• River does a makeover for Jayne stating, "He looks better in red"
• Find out that Simon has a decent criminal mind
• Some magic wands are not so much fun
• Finishing a heist makes Zoe and Wash all romantical
• Free synchronizers are BIG fun for Kaylee!
• Find out that when the money gets too good, Jayne gets stupid... er
• Mal's version of a "time out" involves a wrench and an air lock...

Highly entertaining, though "Bookless", episode. See the gang organize an ambitious heist, and then see things not go smooth.

Keep up with the downloads, and most of all... use 'em to reach out to new fans. Once you turn-on your friends, family, co-workers to Firefly... you'll be their Big Damn Hero!

I ran into the most interesting opportunity to recruit with the ITunes downloads this morning.

I went to the bank to do the deposit for our business ( we're open 6 days a week) and was standing in front of the counter as the checker, a long time acquaintance of mine was counting my deposit to check my figures. I was wearing my Serenity tee.. I am usually always wearing something related to the 'verse now. Anyway, she asked me about the movie, showed interest when I told her it was scifi.. but with a twist. I explained a bit more... of course being female I stressed the attractiveness of our Cap'n. She said.. well, I'll have to catch it. I asked her if she would like to watch the pilot on her computer for free? She was amazed, delighted, said yes and I gifted her with the pilot today.
I can't wait til I see her Monday afternoon and she tells me she loved it and wants to know more.
Cuz it'll happen.

'Course I downloaded Ariel for myself today. I'm still obligating myself to give me an IPod for an early birthday present. Never too early for me to give a hint to myself.

Great to hear a story about guerilla marketing in action! You never know where you will find a future browncoat. I love that you've gotten into the habit of wearing Firefly/Serenity inspired clothing. That is an excellent way to strike up a conversation with someone about FF/S and proceed from there if the person starts to show some interest.

On another Firefly forum, a fan reported recruiting 2 people so far because of Firefly Fortnight! That's such great news.

Even though 2 more fans may not at first sound like that's going to make much difference... can you imagine if each one of us recruited 2 new fans? Just do the math, it starts to become a very large number. Then each one of those new fans will then continue to spread the word of the 'Verse.

Each new person you recruit makes a difference.

Like to hear a war story?

Well, hold on to your seat because here come some very heavy duty ones in War Stories.

Sure, it's an ep where we get to see both Mal and Wash with some welcome bare chestiness... but man, they are not having a good day...

A very strong episode that puts all the crew (some much more than others) in an intense situation where we get to meet the "real" them...

Yeah, 11th the encounter was a fun way to have an opportunity I'd have not had otherwise.

If I'm not wearing a t-shirt FF/S related then it's my logo pin that RadarRese sent me. It goes everywhere I go. Makes for lots of chances to spread the word of the 'verse.

I did my download today.. did everyone else?

War Stories... I love when Mal teases Wash at the end.

Time for some trash talking...

What I mean is, talking about gettin' that mighty fine FF ep... Trash.

Trash was one of the mystery episodes, never did get shown when Firefly was on the air... or is that in the air? Anyway, at some point there were downloadable bootleg versions that popped up on the fringe, but a lot of folks still held out from watching it until the DVD was released. I was a holder outer, but hell, the waiting was, well... hell... sweet, sweet hell...

So the prettiest little sidewinder we ever did meet sidles her way back into the lives of our favorite smugglin', renegade crew... hi-larity ensues...

• A rose by any other name, seems to prefer goin' by any other name
• River always knows more than she lets on... and watch out for her brain!
• Simon holds a "clarification session" with Jayne
• Zoe pulls Kaylee out of danger... again!
• Inara knows how to handle a gun... wait, we already knew that...
• Mal wears his best outfit EVER

Well, today is the day to download "The Message".

It's one of my favorite episodes. I'm going to enjoy this very much.

I've been downloading these on my work computer since it's roomier and then I'll put them on my IPod ( when I get it) but in the meantime I've been watching them while at work. Today our mechanic will really enjoy it, because Kaylee is his favorite character. I get quite a crowd around my computer! Half of my office is the waiting area and you can see my computer screen easily anywhere in that room.

Anyone else got any stories about how they are using the ITunes downloads to guerilla market?

Hey, EXCELLENT way to guerilla market! You have a built in audience just waitin' around... perfect for an impromptu screening of Firefly!

Yes, by all means... share the stories... and if you don't have stories, well... try some new ways to guerilla market then! Use your imagination. FM's strategy is extra great because she's making good use of an opportunity... captive audience that would welcome a great diversion... PLUS, these are random folk who might never have happened upon Firefly otherwise.

We really need to reach beyond the type of audience we would expect would like Firefly, i.e. Sci-Fi/Fantasy fans. Luckily Firefly is so well written and performed, not too mention all the cast are HOT, that the show appeals to non-Sci-Fi fans. Brilliance expands beyond genre.
