>>>I for one am seeing it at least twice the day it opens, and I'm taking all of my family and all of my friends...<<<

Whoa! "ALL" of your friends? Does that mean *we're* all invited to see it *with* you? I just finished watching my video of the second Firefly panel and it is hi-larious.

To all who missed D*C, find out when you can see our BDHs next *before* the movie comes out and BE there. The experience is well worth whatever it costs. After the BDM, well, it will probably be a little more difficult to reach the BDHs - they're gonna be HUGE! (HDH just doesn't have the same ring to it, though.)

I told Jewel thanks at least twice in person, probably more ... but again, thanks for coming to Atlanta.

Why are you still arguing what's been decided?

Jewel,

Huge thanks belong to you and to the rest of the cast who have shown just as much devotion and appreciation to us, the fans, as we have shown to you. I have never been involved with a show that inpsired that kind of devotion, nor a cast that involved themselves so much in our lives. It means a lot to each and every one of us!! *hugs*

Because of that, the success of this movie and Firefly's future means everything to me, and to the rest of us Browncoats I'm sure! So believe me when I say I'll put in my 110% (or 150% or 200%) in getting the word out and then in being there multiple times on the weekend the movie opens and it's second weekend! I know it's going to be wonderful and I know you all will continue to blow us away.

Until then, guess we'll all have to wait impatiently with fingers crossed, but I just know it's gonna be amazing!

It still amazes and thrills me to see our Big Damn Heroes post on boards. Stars of the People, or some such. I can't wait to see it myself. Maybe you've scoured the forums about, maybe not, but some places are planning Big Damn Premieres! North Carolina is no exception. Static, a poster on this board, has gone so far as to contact the guy in charge of distribution for North Carolina at Universal. There's a old-fashioned movie palace type place that we've secured for a Big Damn Premiere party for opening day! We're all very excited! Even people I'm just introducing to Firefly all say the same things. "Why was this cancelled?! This is so good!" Which it is, and you guys are. We're all just about to burst with anticipation.

I can't wait until April! We'll be out in force-the first weekend, the second, the third and we'll buy the crap out of it when it comes out on DVD.

This year, everyone on my Christmas list is getting 'Firefly'... ditto for birthday gifts. Love the idea of Serenity premieres!

I'm in love with Firefly, the people involved, the fanbase. There is just no bad here.

Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm with us, Jewel. It shines through in your work and delights us all.

I've been reading FFF.net for a while now, and am registered over at the Serenitymovie.com board. BUt I had to register when I read this!

Is this NC shindig anywhere near charlotte? I just moved here so I don't know anybody and it would be great to hang out with other NC browncoats to see this movie several times in April.

There's an old movie palace called the Rialto in Raliegh. It's a gorgeous one screen theatre that even features a stage for the hosting of pre-show festivities. Raliegh's not an easy drive for me (I live in Salisbury, that's still 2, 2 1/2 hours away) but you better believe I'll be there. Mostly because my friend is basically putting it all together. His name on this board is Static, if you want to look him up. He's the contact for all this. His friend owns the Rialto, and he's the guy what called Universal about making sure it gets distributed to that guy's market. The Rialto owner owns three other movie theatres besides that one, including Mission Valley (our number 2 choice). The threads are buried somewhere in the forum, if you want to look them up.

I didn't think the week could get any better after getting to meet some of my BDHs at Dragon*Con, but it just did. I was deeply touched to see how much you and Adam and Nathan (and I am certain now that this would apply to the rest of the cast) care about and love your fans. It was such an honor and a pleasure to meet all of you at the convention.

Now about that opening weekend. Aside from your family, who better to see it with than some fellow Browncoats? Just let us know when and where, and we'll be there.

Hey Jewel, I read several fan reports from Dragon*Con and it sounds like it was so incredibly shiny!

It would mean the world to me if you or some of your cast mates came over to Baltimore's Farpoint con ( http://www.bcpl.net/~wilsonr/farpoint.html ) this coming February 11, 12 & 13, 2005. It is perfect timing to hype the BDM just before it is released. I also happen to be good friends with this year's Programming Chairman, and he is a HUGE Firefly fan. It's a fun little con, not as grand as Dragon*Con or Comic-con, but it's a lot of fun.

Oh, it's also the con where two years back we were totally snowed in and had to keep going another day. ;) That was a lot of fun, but don't worry, snow like that is an anomaly in Maryland, it's only happened twice in my lifetime (18 years).

Sorry, just had to pimp my favorite con, I would love to have Firefly guests there. You'll be treated right, and get a warm reception.

Keep flying, and don't you worry, we'll make Serenity a big damn success, and get those sequels made (and inevitable return to TV?).

~Another Firefly fan

Keep flying

Thanks Jewel, It was such a pleasure meeting the three of you on the walk of fame...it was worth every agonizing minute in line. I just wish the whole cast could have been together...well, maybe when one of the networks snap out of their brain dead funk and bring back the show. Anyway, the love that yourself and Nathan and Adam had for the characters and the show is the reason firefly is so endearing and addicting. In my eyes, you've all become a part of my life, and I feel blessed and enriched to have had the opportunity to experience as much as I did. You've made a positive mark in many peoples lives!

"Take me out to the black"

She takes us where we've never been, and

She gives us what we need to know

Into the black we always go

Her life is such a tender thread

With loving hands to mend its tread

Quick hands to guide with skill and drive

Fierce talons in the eagles dive

She carries in our time of need

Our truest and our only steed

She covers what we hide away

For in the black is where we stay

A lovers grace to soothe and ease

A caring faith will sow the seed

The mending mind and insightful muse

Will often lend the need to choose

And even a heart as hard as stone

Will lose its rough and tumbled tone

She shows us why we need to go

For in the black we learn to grow

A command of honor and a heart of gold

Is how and why this story's told

So hang on tight and ride the winds

No reavers bite can rein us in

No power in the verse can stop our flight

Out of the deepest and the darkest night

Into the black we'll surely be

In our beloved Serenity
