*bump*
I'm thinking of just going up to the fire station and saying something like "These are my copies of Firefly and Serenity and I'm donating them to whatever library you have, and if you don't let me do this, you aren't fit to pour piss out a boot with instructions on the heel", only I'm afraid I'd just end up offending or confusing some venerable old fireman.
I know my ma volunteers at a homeless shelter some days; I'll ask her if they've got a library of some sort.
I know one thing we did right
was the day we started to fight
Keep your eyes on the prize,
hold on, hold on...

And, don't forget Women's shelters!
Either one, either way. And, if you do donate, please, post it for the rest of us to see!

i know it'll be hard to believe when I was in a women's shelter early last year and yes I brought my box set with me...the houseparents wouldn't let me watch it cause they said it promoted violence but i just waited for them to go home and themn watched it all night with 4 other women...LOL

Aloha!
We're back from the border planet moon of Hawai'i!
Yesterday, Rhiotre and I dropped off a Firefly series DVD set and a BDCE with the crew at the Hawai'ian Paradise Park Fire Department in the community of the same name outside Hilo, Hawai'i.
We also gave another series and BDCE as a guest gift to the folks from whom we rented our vacation home in HPP, as well.
I'll try to get some pics of the station and crew posted in the next day or two.
Oh, and, just to help the sales figures, bought BDCE #6 at the Hilo WalMart, to hand out here at home.
Let's all see where else we can get Firefly into the hands of firefighters (or others who might enjoy it) in the month of September!

Shiny Idea... I'd think a poster of a bunch of
firefighters with these words above smallish:
"Well look at this!... Appears we got here
just in the nick of time... What does that
make us?"
And these words below in large letters:
"BIG DAMN HEROES!"

Okay, here are the pics from September 1, when we visited the Hawai'ian Paradise Park community Fire Station:
And, here are the firefighters who were happy, if a tad surprised, to receive the Firefly series and BDCE DVD sets:
The tall fellow on your right is making a hand gesture for Shaka! Nothing to do with Zulus; it's a contemporary Hawai'ian gesture meaning, roughly, "Shiny!"
Anyway, that's my start... I'll post others as I do this around home, hopefully wth the aid of local Browncoats. Let's see what the rest of you can come up with!
Can't stop the signal!

Shiny, new siggy BUMP!
(I liked MAGHAFFAR's idea, but, I lack the skills to do this sorta thing; this one was a surprise gift from a concerned Browncoat.)

One, additional note:
In the instances of there being MANY multiple fire stations, local groups are picking those closest to home. My local group, the Greenville Browncoats, is turning this into a gift-basket deal, with popcorn and cookies and such, along with the two video sets.
By the way, some folks have asked pro or con the BDM vs. the BDCE. Either one is fine, but, the BDCE is preferable, if finances warrant, as it is sales of the BDCE which will have an impact on Universal's decision to opt another BDM, which they have to decide by the end of September.
Here is an image created by werellama of the Greenville Browncoats which can be used freely with this promotion, should you wish to spread the signal around a bit:

Thanks, again, for your kind attention. This has the potential to generate MANY more Browncoats (fire stations being busy places), which is never a bad thing, plus the public goodwill it can create. As noted, a lasting positive relationship with the firefighters can also be a shiny thing, indeed.
Can't stop the signal!

The idea is catching on here but instead of buying new CE DVDs ('cause we're all tapped out from Dragon*Con), we're going to collect all the original Serenity movies from folks who got their CE and no longer need the old one. Now we just need to get our hands on some Firefly sets.
When we can get some cashy money, will buy more CE to donate too.
