Ni-Howdy, Browncoats,

Would you like to have Cedric from the Bedlam Bards perform at your local Can't Stop the Serenity screening? Well, here's how:

In order to raise both funds and awareness for Equality Now, I am auctioning myself on eBay. Well, technically, I'm auctioning a performance at the Can't Stop the Serenity screening of your choice. Even better, the profits from the auction go to the CSTS screening of your choice, so it's a double whammy, but in a good way!

But wait, that's not all! You also get steak knives. Steak knives? To heck with the gorram steak knives, you get something a lot shinier than that.

A number of Browncoat artisans and celebrities have come forward to donate these prizes which the auction winner GETS TO KEEP:

-Autographed Poster* {from Quantum Mechanix}
-Autographed Bedlam Bards CDs
-Autographed Done The Impossible DVD and Soundtrack CD {from Brian Wiser}
-Autographed Browncoat Cruise Souvenir Book {from Brian Wiser}
-Independent Flag {from Firefly Cargo Bay}
-Jayne Hat {from Ma Cobb's Hat Shoppe www.geocities.com/fadingendlessly}
-Mal's Holster and Ammo Belt** {from www.browncoatfashions.com}
-Plus a built-up Mal Pistol***, Jayne Pistol, grenade, PAL Communicator and a Zoe 'Mare's Leg' Winchester {from Wilco models}

*Poster autographed by: Fillion, Tudyk, Minear, Fairman, Edmonson, Woodward, Sonny Rhodes, Nectar Rose, Adam Levermore-Rich (who did the art for the poster), and the Bedlam Bards. A similar poster fetched over $150 at auction

**Holster and Ammo Belt - The "standard" gun belt size will fit people with hips in the range of 40 to 50 inches. The winner should specify their actual hip measurement if they need a gun belt larger or smaller in size. The holster and gun belt come with an ammo pouch suitable for carrying an extra set of clips, a cell phone, or an iPod. It's like the one Mal wore in Serenity. This item typically sells for $160 + S&H

*** The Wilco Models replica of Mal's Pistol fits in the Browncoat Fashions holster.

Wow, if I weren't ineligible, I'd be bidding just to win that stuff!

So here's the info on the auction:

Item number: 120225274158

This listing lasts only 10 days, so bid early and bid often!

I'll see you at your screening,

Cedric

What a time to be unemployed. I don't have enough in the bank to even attempt to bid. Good luck bidders and I hope the winner pays an arm and a leg. Look out for those snipers with high speed internet access. They'll get ya.

Don't forget, you can always organize a group bid with your local Browncoats!

We're up to $455 on day two. It's a ten-day auction, so there's plenty of time to spread the word and get your friends working together on this.

Go Browncoats!

We'll just have to decide that on a case-by-case basis.

Am I the only person who thinks it's ironic to be auctioning myself for an organization that opposes human trafficking?

Nah....just classify this as temporary indentured servitude, where the terms of service is obscenely short and we treat you nice

The winner is technically only renting you, which is perfectly acceptable wage slave behavior.

They might even be possibly only borrowing you for promotional considerations maybe. Technicalities, meh!


Check those flight prices to Utah, MsB can be quite the motivator.
