As the title says there is a big shindig planned (or rather being planned) in Houston TX for the opening day of the BDM (that being April 22, 2005)
It’s gonna be 8 hours of Firefly fun!!
We (the meetup folks from Houston, and whoever else is willing to help*wink wink* *nudge nudge*) are planning to have it at a movie theater called The Alamo Drafthouse Cinema. It’s a really cool place where they got these sorta bench tables in front of the seats and you can have real food, like burgers and pizzas and the like, and eat during the movie.
You can get more info from their website:
http://www.drafthouse.com/index.html

We’re gonna rent out a theater for 8 hours, I figure that’ll be enough time to do some mingling, maybe have a sing along, watch a few Firefly episodes (I’m thinkin’ Serenity 1&2 and Objects in Space, but we can vote on that later) watch the movie, and maybe have a discussion afterwards. They also got wireless Internet access in all theaters and web broadcasting capability, so whoever can’t make it in person could still be there via the web!!

SO what we need from you good folk is a headcount of sorts. The Alamo Drafthouse has the capacity to fit anywhere from 95 people to 300 people, so we’re gonna need to know how many people are willing to go so we could figure out which theatre to rent out, and then figure out the pricing from there.

Thanks for your help,
~Val

I am completely willing to go depending on the time cause God knows whats gonna be happening by that then(school and all). I might be able to bring a couple more people if I coerce them. Great idea, I was actually thinking of that earlier...not that I would have brought it into fruition or anything.

That's really cool, but is there one set for anywhere near the Los Angeles area? I would drive to L.A. for a shindig! It's only like 2 hours away. I cant seem to find any major Browncoats within a 30 mile radius! I'm going crazy! If you know anyone, please e-mail me!

I got my mom and two of my friends to promise to cosplay as characters for the premere. But i still need six more people! At least. Is anyone willing to be someone other than Inara, River, or wash? I would love to have the whole crew!

Well, there is a thread on the OB where some Browncoats are planning an LA BDM Shindig, here's the link:

LA and Houston are about the same distance from me, so...hmmm.

Maybe I'll just cut myself in half and go to both. Although being nearly a year away who's to know where I'll be at that time.

I'm in; I'm also sure I can bring some more recruits. Of course, that's a LONG way off...
