Hello fellow UK Browncoats
After having read the blog from our favourite Captain! I have decided that we must do our best to spread the word!!
I was thinking of organising a Shindig where we could all meet, have a few bevvies and screen all the Firefly episodes before the BDM gets released.
As a nice compromise for a location, I was thinking something central like Leeds.
If we all bring at least one non-convert with us we could ensure that the word gets spread!!
What do you guys think?
Shall I go for it!

Sounds like a plan 
.
What to do though, rent out a place? What're your current ideas Mireille?

First I need to generate enough interest from people.
To do so, go to my Yahoo group, to the Polls section at:
http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/Firefly_Serenity_UK/
Then I would have to check with Mutant Inc and/or Fox for permission to screen the DVD.
And in the meantime I would be looking for a venue to hold it in, and see how much it would cost to hire it out. Once I have an approximate number of people I can start taking orders for tickets by charging enough to cover the room hire for a day...
I'll have to see how it all pans out.
Why, would you like to help? Do you have any suggestions?

Well, I joined the Yahoo group, so hopefully that'll help some :).
As for Fox/MI, well MI seem a fairly cool company when it comes to these issues.
Fox, on the other hand... anyone who's seen that Christmas-theme episode of Family Guy will know what I mean 
But I'm sure they'll be fine as it's generating revenue for them in the end with the additional movie-goers. I'm probably being more than a little pessimistic regarding Fox though 
.
Ideas... Well...
- Hotel suite? Cheapy hotel though if wanna keep it affordable.
- Renting out a large back room of a pub?
Food/Drink on site.
- Typical conference room somewhere?
Just some minor ideas that have probably already been covered.

Thanks for joining!
Yep, that is exactly what i was thinking about. But first of all I must get permission to screen the DVDs.
I have the postal address for Mutant Enemy, but does anyone have an email address?

I don't know about England, but in the U.S., as long as you're not making a profit on it, you can screen. If you make enough to pay the bills of renting the suite and/or pub space, that isn't profit.
If you intended to rent a theatre and charge folks 7 quid to get in and then run off to Great Yarmouth with the booty, then you'd be in trouble.
I spent three years in England, obviously, they weren't in law school.
