Rollcall! Sound off like you've got a pair!

I'm still trying to get the Serenity Now / Equality Now ball rolling for Washington DC (one of the pre-screening cities), but there just doesn't seem to be a lot of Browncoats in the area.

I know a lot of us Browncoats went into hiding after we lost the war, afraid that the Aliance would take notice of us, but now is the time to stand up and be counted!

C'mon guys! I know you're out there, and I need help to get this done. We're running out of time here! If you want to see SN/EN become a reality for Washington DC, NOW IS THE TIME TO MAKE YOURSELF KNOWN!

You can wave me off-board if you prefer at paulric@yahoo.com

Now if only I could remember where it was that I told someone asking about Maryland/Virginia that there was someone trying to do DC.

Well, if you're the same One True b!X from the Yahoo group, we've spoken before. You warned me that you'd heard mixed reviews of Regal, mainly in terms of venue pricing. That's why I'm trying for other theaters in the area.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Well, I am in Richmond, VA, about two hours from DC, if you don't hit too much traffic.

I tried to put a screening together here in Richmond, but the theatre I wanted to have it at kept giving me the run around. *sighs*

I know I could get together at least a dozen browncoats to attend a DC screening. Just say the word.

Getting the same here in DC. Luckily, I was just contacted by an employee at the Landmark Theater in MD who can call their corp office directly, and he's going to see if he can push something through at the E Street Landmark, about 2 blocks away from the Whitehouse. Maybe Jeb will attend, maybe not.

I am a fan of the show/ movie, but I don't call myself a Browncoat. I am in Dumfries.

You will probably think this is a dumb question, but what is SERENITY NOW/EQUALITY NOW?

YEAHHHHH! But now I'm wondering just who was it that arranged this, and how can I contact him/her?

I posted at cantstoptheserenity to see if anyone else was already working on the DC area before spending days and days duplicating someone else's efforts, and believed that no one was organizing in this area!

Don't get me wrong - I'm glad that this is happening, but I just wasted about two weeks worth of time!

Oh well, at least the advertising I've already got started with local radio stations might not be a duplication of efforts (maybe).

The person who alerted me to this only just joined the CSTS yahoo group this morning. That's why they didn't respond to you when you posted -- they weren't on the group yet. Heh.

I live in Damascus, MD, small town but only about 45 minutes from DC. I'm game, lemme know if you need any help. I don't have a lot of free time or money, but I'll donate whatever I can.

OK! I've purchased my tickets for Arlington VA on-line and just need to pick them up at the box office on the 23rd!

Shiny!

So, who's up for a shindig before/after the show?

I think Browncoat is short for a fan of the TV Show Firefly/Movie Serenity. Also Flan is another word for Firefly Fan: Nathan (Our Captain) Fillion came up with that word accidentally.

Did you check out the website http://www.cantstoptheserenity.com yet?

If not here is some info from there:

"Joss Whedon's Serenity on the big screen.
On Joss Whedon's birthday.
To benefit Joss Whedon's favorite charity, Equality Now.

Current Status As Of May 31, 2006:
40 Cities In 5 Countries On 3 Continents
Planning June Charity Serenity Screenings"

Here is a press release about the Charity Serenity Screenings

http://www.prweb.com/releases/2006/4/prweb376866.htm

"In June this year, film goers plan worldwide theatrical screenings of the Universal Pictures flick 'Serenity', with proceeds going to Equality Now. The move is a direct effort to help raise funds for Equality Now, one of writer/director Joss Whedon's favorite charities."

I live in Ellicott City, about twenty-thirty minutes from Baltimore and maybe 45ish from DC by car. I'll be in Boston visiting family June 23rd but I wanted to drop a line showing my support! If anybody wants to organise a shindig over the summer, I'm all for it! I hadn't even heard of any other Browncoats near me until now.

BTW- I'm not sure if they do charity screenings like this, but has anybody heard of The Senator theatre in Baltimore?

Good luck!

Mine is an evil sugar high laugh! Bwahahahaha!

I will be, most definitely! Not too sure about the rest of my family. I've only got my little brother converted and he might be able to go.

Still, it should be a lot of fun!
