I apologize mates. While I am still very interested in participating in this I simply do not have the time I thought I would have to help head it up. What with the new baby and all I am sooo busy.
However, if helpful here is some info.
Many medical and mechanic grade gloves come in blue, however unless you know someone in this field it is almost impossible to buy just one pair. A box typically runs for between $5-15$ and can be purchased through many different medical based websites.
Please keep me informed as to when this is going to go down and I am in.
Also I do have a limited supply of gloves so if anyone needs a pair then get in touch.

If you send me your snail mail address I will try to send you a set of blue gloves very much like those worn in Firefly.

I'm in. When do we start?
Zoë: Sir, we don't want to deal with Patience again.
Mal: Why not?
Zoë: She shot you.
Mal: Well, yeah, she did a bit.

Now is the time to start producing our own theatrical productions of Firefly, using the great fanfic scripts.
Then videotape the screenplays for broadcast on cable access, youtube, google video. etc. Star Wars fans have been doing this for years, including homebrew 3D CGI SFX.
If any Browncoats in East TN want to do this, I'll videotape for broadcast on my weekly TV show.
I'm very good at shaky camera FX, out of focus shots, lens flare, as required by the Joss Whedon School of Filmmaking.

Vote Republican.
I've never seen a single Firefly tv episode or movie broadcast under a Democratic administration. Can't say that about any of the other great SciFi shows Stargate, Galactica, Star Trek, etc (which were all bipartisan efforts).
Perhaps someone...maybe Josh the Producer...can ask the tough question. Where do Obama and McCain stand on the Firefly question? Barrack simply does not strike me as the SciFi type. McCain, on the other hand, being a genuine hero of a lost cause and a maverick and all would probably identify with what Serenity stands for.

Hi everyone, first time posting here (hope I don't break any rules... please be merciful with the noob...).
I saw this thread and it struck a chord with me, because for the first time in my career I am actually connected to the capability to do something to help Firefly - and really, the best thing we can do to support the series--to "keep her in the air when she oughtta fall down" as it were-- is to grow the fanbase.
There's a thread on here somewhere that cites that Fox and Universal are at odds with rights to the property, which is essentially true. So obviously there's nothing we can do as far as a large PR media push. As such, my company has taken on the task of getting out word about the Firefly Blu-Ray (which I'm sure you've all heard comes out today) with Social Media instead of traditional media. We are hoping that in order to circumvent the need for passing things through endless legal that the fans themselves will help us create a campaign. And that's how I ended up in this forum.
Though we are officially sanctioned to promote the series by giving away some copies of the Blu-Ray if people join and help out with the campaign ( www.browncoats.com have, for instance), the most useful asset for us are the fans.
If you'd like to write to me about the Blu-Ray campaign I'm helping to run, I'd love to hear from you - especially if you're a well-seasoned fanfic writer. (There's a good reason for that, I swear)
We can use all the help we can get!

I really love all these ideas flowing out. Awesome.
Recently, a couple of St. Louis Browncoats and I got together and came up with a new kind of "off the radar" guerrilla marketing idea.
All three of us have extensive backgrounds, professionally, in the entertainment business. We wanted to use those skills,knowledge, and contacts in the industry to start a new campaign and have a good time doing it.
We decided to form a band revolving around the show. We named the band "The Browncoats". Instead of directly linking ourselves (by names) to Firefly and Serenity - we decided to create as many references in the music and the "ideas" to the show.
Our first endeavour was to re-create "The Hero of Canton" in a Rock and Roll version, (which was actually what sparked the idea to create the band in such a fashion)
Our goal as of now is to send out the MP3 of our "The Hero of Canton" version and try to make it spread like a virus, referencing our MySpace page. We're also doing things like calling all our fans "Mudders" and planning to name "Mudders Milks of the Month".
We've started with targeting mailing lists of fans of the bands we used to be in, and the St. Louis Browncoats have band helping spread the word for the last week. The response has been pretty good so far.
We plan on continuing this campaign into a music video for "The Hero of Canton" featuring the St. Louis Browncoats, shot in St. Louis. And we'll eventually start playing shows when the following gets big enough - calling each show a "Shindig" of course. We want to attempt to have a local brewery host each "Shindig" and call one of their beers the Mudders Milk of the Night.
So let me know what you guys think and if you would like to help out.
E-mail me at co.pilot@live.com if you want an MP3 copy of the song to send out. And you can see what we've done so far at the site www.myspace.com/thebrowncoatsmusic
Take care all..

I think the cast would love to doit again, however most of them have steady work now--more likely to have the time off to do the movie--the time in between Firefly and Serenity--that way we have Alan and Book as well. WE just need to get the money!
