Sorry, I meant to post this in General Discussions and put it on the wrong thread. I wanted to put this message in the right place:

I know we have quite a ways away until the premiere of Serenity, but I thought maybe we should get the ball rolling to get a premiere Shindig here in Florida.

I know other places around the country preparing as well, so I figured let's have one here with all our Firefly faithful here in the sunshine state. If anyone has any ideas on the logistics of where and what we can do, let's see if we can work something out and plan ahead, since we know when it’s going to be. And I know that there are a lot of fans out here in my home state who will be on the edge of their sanity until opening day, so let’s talk about where all of us can do this; Orlando? Tampa? Daytona? Jacksonville? Miami?

Does anyone know of a place we can have a huge Shindig party ball before the big event? Or does anyone have any movie theater contacts to see if we can take over and watch the movie in their theater? Does anyone have any alternatives? Let’s brainstorm on some ideas and see what we here in Florida can do!

I know there's a few of you out there who'd like for a 'Premiere Shindig' to be a reality, so let's get moving ma-shong!

Is it bad that what she said made perfect sense to me?

I'd think Orlando would be about as centrally located as we could get. Don't have any bright ideas about anywhere in Orlando that would be practical though.

Think that might be the best thing. Is there anyone from Orlando that can help us out?

I'm in the Tampa/St. Pete area but would definitely be willing to travel to take in Serenity with a multitude of Browncoats. I doubt there will be a midnight showing, so we need to decide if we're willing to take the day of from work and see the first showing (I am). Or see an evening showing. There are MANY theaters in Orlando, perhaps one of the smaller ones would be willing to rent to us cheaper to have a Shindig before the showing. On the other hand, a larger theater may be showing it in Digital, does anyone even know if it's being shot digitally? Am I creating more problems than I should at this early stage of the game???

Not at all. With all this time until the movie opens, we have plenty of time to work out all the logistics and such.

If anyone has any kind of suggestions, please, don't hesitate to post 'em here! We're still in the idea stage yet and haven't got into the planning stage, so any thoughts or ideas and such are completely welcomed!

Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us?

Big damn heroes, sir.

Ain't we just.

Might also be a good idea to transmit this to the OB, bein' as there are tons of Florida Browncoats online over there... (And some of 'em even LIVE in the Orlando area, I think...)

HIRO, sounds like a fantastic idea. Although I live in the Atlanta area, I would drive down for a BDP. Willing to help out anyway I can.

BTW: Here the HELL have you been!

Looks like the OB Florida Browncoats are into this idea, too... And possibly can help with the setup!

FAN-TASTIC!!!

I'm going on vacation tomorrow, but when I get back, I am definitely going on the OB to get the ball rolling.

I used to live in Orlando myself, and there are a couple of theaters there I used to go that they might accomidate us for watching the actual movie.

We shall see.
