A Proposal So We Can All Start Moving Forward! by 11thHour

Shiny.
Serenity Day would be a better name for the September date because of the annual, but no biggie.

I'm game.

Go Browncoats!

Yes, I do agree with you on that point. But since Kaele's group already has a website with the serenityday url, and they've made the logo thingy, well, looks like it's in the best interests of moving forward to just let that go.

But we can still use "Serenity" in the September 30th day name! Here's some possibilities:

• Serenity Day with Sprinkles
• Serenity Day - This Time it's Personal (I know, I know... it's been done... but there's a reason it's a classic...)
• 11th Hour Presents Serenity Day ~ An 11th Hour Production (For some reason, this one sounds really cool!)
• Serenity Day 2 - Electric Boogaloo (Did I mention I'm sleep deprived?)
• Serenity Day - Live Nude Girls (People WILL notice this title... )
• Serenity Day - Fight For the Sequel (Okay, not subtle... but hey, it is what we're thinking!)

So many ways to go with this one!

This plan seems like something that everyone should be able to get behind.

Course, I'm a newb so what do I know? Speaking of which, another newb told me that someone around here hands out browncoats. Is that so?

Maybe we could call it Rise of Serenity - at the end of the Serenity Summer Campaign, and when it is actually FALL - get it? Rise when it should fall.
Ah, well... I'm stoned.

EMBERS

there can never be too many days to celebrate Firefly & Serenity in my opinion!

On the 23rd (to celebrate Joss' birthday) I'm expecting to go to a fund-raising (for Equality Now) screening of 'Serenity' in the Bay area, and I plan to buy extra copies of Firefly & Serenity to loan out to friends and family.

On Sept. 30th I will participate in any and all events or activities to celebrate the one year anniversary of our BDM ...
AFTER I attend the Browncoat Ball Sept 22-24, 2006
http://www.sfbrowncoats.com/events/browncoatball2006/

there can never be enough Browncoat related fun for me!

**********************************************
watch the R. Tam Session vids: http://www.hittarivertam.nu/
and buy the 'Serenity' comics published by Dark Horse
have you checked out this thread?:

Out of all of those, "Serenity Day - Fight For the Sequel" seems the best to me.

But we should avoid any "aggressive" vibes, the tone should more be like a celebration of all things Serenity, and a big THANKS to Universal for the BDM.
The sales and (hopefully) media coverage will speak for itself on the sequel part, if there is anything to say.

Because of the recent events I'm gonna point out that those are just my thoughts, I'm not about to start any hwai.

Oh, and BDM Day might be a bit too non-specific. Could be the Blind Dentists of Michigan Day for all I cared, if I were a non-'coat.

Well, the list is a bit of whimsy to lighten the mood... although that title will cause folks to look twice, or longer if we actually make good on the claim...

It's a fun title... but the September 30th day will be geared more to a "Thank You" to Universal, and celebration of the anniversary of the premiere of Serenity's general U.S. release.

We will of course still be working hard to encourage a BIG show of support via buying DVDs and other licensed merchandise. However, if the sales, letters and attention on that day does impress Universal, then that's fantastic. Ultimately the decision is up to them regarding sequels or continuation of the 'verse in another form, so it's better to take the pressure off the anniversary and just enjoy celebrating such a shiny day.

Actually, just for now, let's hold off on the name suggestions. I first want to make sure my proposal is cool with the folks. Also, Kaele needs to comment on this before we can consider it a done deal.
