maybe you can have the site name be
www.re-unificationday623.com
the 623 means june 23rd and re-unification day is obviouslly the name of the day (or somthing else if you change it.)
just my 2 cents

oh yeah, I just thought of another idea.
when we get the website up, i'm going to post flyers around college campus on the bullitins- i figure, people at the college level age will notice this more than most ya know?
I was thinking of doing this for advertizement of the charity screening as well, but when school is out, you can even do this at media play, barnes&nobles etc. any store that has a bullitin on it.
coffee shops also allow fliers to be shown (esp if it's a charity event)

We should try to make this look as professional as possible. Or rather do it so professional that we don't have to make it look professional.
For example, I'd advise against everyone making their own banners and just go wild. We need a few professional designs we agree on and then we ALL wear one of them in our sigs on ANY board.
I suggest that anyone who wants to submit banners should do so until Thursday night. On Friday and Saturday we vote on which ones to use, and from Sunday forth everyone picks the one he likes the most in the selection.
Since this isn't supposed to be an FFF thing, but a united Browncoat effort, we really should invite the representatives of the other websites to participate in the planning phase, or we're gonna have 30+ individual groups of browncoats with different plans for June 23rd that haven't been coordinated with the others, and the whole mess will just look chaotic.
Are there currently any discussions on any of the other boards about June 23rd?
We may need a few catchy lines like "On June 23, we aim to misbehave.". Any suggestions?
On a slightly different note, I don't think it would do much good to try and organize a screening in Germany, due to the lack of browncoats (No Firefly on TV here). At least there aren't enough German browncoats in one place, which as opposed to the Fruity Oaty Bar would be MANDATORY for a screening.
I forgot a few points I wanted to mention, but I can't remember what they were. 
=============================================================================================================
One day.
One plan.
One army of browncoats.
On June 23rd, we aim to misbehave.

Why would we want to name this after the day the Feds took over and crushed the spirited Browncoats?!
LOL good point.
But then again...the Browncoasts lost...
we want to win.
Maybe we SHOULD emulate the winning side.

I agree with everything you mentioned. I'm waiting for the offical banners etc. to print out myself.
Since i'm from Buffalo, NY, i doubt there's a lot of browncoats here, but i'm willing be convinced that there's a lot of "closet-firefly-fans". :tounge:
My opinion on the charity thing is that if I publicize this correctly, people will come to see this movie just for the charity, not even knowing the 'verse as we love and cherish it. In a way, it's almost briliance in that fact becuase it'll spread the word faster than word of mouth in a short period of time.
Plus, advertizing will be much easier becuase again, it's a charity, so a lot of news stations would pick up the story becuase it's such a unique charity-> thus continuing the story on all the details (the 23rd being joss' birthday, explaining the tv show yada yada). Think as a regular movie goer that has a friday night to kill. I'd go see the movie becuase it's for a good cause and also becuase I havn't seen the movie yet.
I was thinking of allowing free admitance with showing a reciept of the movie bought that day or somthing like that. Granted, i'll have to throw in 5-7 bucks for that person's admitance, but at least they spent 17 bucks on the movie.. right?
Also, this is another idea I have: selling the merch (dvds) after the screenings and donating the proceeds to the charity as well (again selling more movies/DVDs)
i'm a poor college student, so i couldn't pull this last idea off myself but ya know, if i work things out well enough, I might get lucky
I'll keep everyone updated of course :)

You have my permission. Double check with MPhillips about posting that link on your page, but I don't think he'd mind at all.

Why June 23rd, out of curiousity? Is it becuase it's Joss's birthday? Or because that was the date of the last round of Serenity pre-screenings?

Browncoats don't want nothin' to do with anything that smells of the Alliance no how! Hell, if we did then why not call it "FOX TV Day"?!
'scuse me while I get sick in the corner...
Okay... I'm alright now!

AVOID CHAOS!!!!
That's the only thing that can make the project fail. Really:
ONE leader
(not proposing myself, not enough time beside posting).
People, one is enough. We're all browncoats, so we all have enough brains. I'd go with a Vet, but it doesn't matter.
He'll just have to re-read through the proposals posted here and in the other threads... all the reasonable notes have been made already.
No need to keep debating the same things over and over, we'd just create chaos and slow down.
ONE name
ONE Banner
ONE signature Banner
This we need right now, so that we could start advertising and elaborate the little details in a more "relaxed" way.

I agree with one leader. I'd offer myself, but I don't know about the time commitment. I'm kinda maxed out as it is volunteering to get some viral advertising done for a convention that some of the BDH's are showing up at.
I am not so good at websites, but I'm a fair decent hand at organizing things and finding people to do stuff.
I'm writing an e-mail to the people at http://www.browncoatsriseagain.com The site's already up and running and if I get a reply from them, I can ask them to update a bit and help get the word out about June 23rd. They can add in some of the ideas on here already. I'm also adding a post onto http://www.serenitymovie.org about the ideas posted on here.
You can't stop the signal.
