SHINY!!!

My good friend works at Bryn Mawr college and she is at my house right now. We are both in!!! YEAH!!

I suspect my husband will also join us (and drive so we can sleep on the way home)! I'll start working on a baby sitter right away!

Hey, PA Browncoats!

Ben's got some posters on PDF that he's spreading around. Once he gets the link either he or I can post it up here.

We need your help with this. Bryn Mawr isn't an AMC or Regal theater so Ben needs all the help he can get. There's no big huge budget for advertising for him.

If you're a member of any other group, please post there and chat this up.

Let's fill some seats!

Oh, and...uh...bump. :)

I will definitly be there!!!! I was set for the screening the night of the blizzard, but the drive...in the storm.....at night...was a little too much for me. September screening will guarantee no repeat of the snow storm!
I live in the area, so if you can get the poster/flyer up for post, I will do my share to advertise this shiny event.
How about an earlier[8-9PM] screening for the young'uns?

hey peeps:

i should have a .pdf of the flyer later today or by tomorrow...

i'm very computer literate but kind of web illiterate... can i post the file on t his thread? or do i need to host it somewhere else (like a file server) and post a link? if someone already has that kind of thing set up, perhaps i could email them the .pdf and they could link to it?

i'll have it soon and i'll let y'all know...

your help is awesome - kaele's already got it *all over* the net, so good work.

thanks guys.

Say, here's a thought...and I shall leave it at that, just a thought...

Being that there's been a considerable interest in forming a southeast PA Browncoat group, maybe we could get together a little early and discuss it? Maybe even make this our first official meet?? How does that grab you?

I'd love to roll the ball a little further. How 'bout the rest of you?

Ok....I've recently joined the PA Browncoats Yahoo group... There is a ton of folk there. I told them about the screenings and they are all excited... They want to meet and get some food before hand. This would be a good way to get the 2 (if there are 2) groups together. I mean PA Browncoats yahoo is already established. here is a chunk of some of the e-mails I've received on the subject...

I think I'd like to do this too. Gullifty's in Rosemont isn't too far up the road from Bryn Mawr. :)

The following was posted on the Ariel Ambulance Yahoo group by Michael J. Welch. Kinda makes our get-together an ass-picious occassion!

(QUOTE)September 30th, 2006 marks the one-year anniversary of Serenity's red carpet U.S. premiere at Universal Studios. Serenity 'Versary will be what we make it. The spirit of the day will involve these expressions:
gt;
1) "Thank you" to Universal for its faith in Joss and for making the movie Serenity a reality. A few days prior to the 30th, send a letter to Universal Studios in Hollywood. Congratulate them, thank them for making the film, and ask them for a sequel. Show them our numbers.

Universal Pictures
100 Universal City Plaza
Universal City, CA 91608
Attn: Donna Langley
and
Attn: Jon Gordon

2) While e-mail is not as powerful as hand written letters, it still helps. On the 30th, please send Universal an e-mail of thanks (like
the letter).

http://www.universalstudios.com/homepage/ html/contact_us/

3) Celebrate Serenity with other fans, and also bring Serenity to the attention of potential new fans. This can be anything from a small get-together in your Living Room to booking a Venue and showing the film for Charity. Just let others know about the Serenifly 'verse.

-Thank you all very much for your help!

Thanks Ben! I've been hoping you'd have the chance to set this up again.

I'll definitely be there. This time I'll try to drag more of my co-workers. I'd like to get together before the show, like we did last time, but maybe at a somewhat quieter place, eh?

I heard someone mention Gullifty's... if you guys would like to organize something beforehand for dinner, please go for it - sounds like a good idea. I'll be working so unfortunately will be here at the theater...

Am not sure what to do yet before the movie... I think trivia beforehand in the theater with some prizes definitely right before the movie, but I'd also like to think of something new to do to get warmed up say an hour before the movie... I'm mulling...

So I think, yes, there may be some kind of "activity" before the movie, say around 11pm...

We could always just hang out in the cafe', but I'm going to try to come up with something new...

For folks who'd like some dinner, I think a 9pm reservation in the area would be a great idea - lots of good places for grub.

Never been to Gullifty's but have heard good things...

"The Grog" didn't seem to go over well last time - too fratty...

Well, judging by the SNEN showing in King of Prussia, I'm not the only costumer in the area.

P'raps we could have a costume get-together? Maybe re-create a couple of scenes to boot? Also, dinner-before-the-movie would be awesomely shiny. As long as it's not something that'll make my stomach go for hard burn, I'm in.

Haha, totally. I've been spreading the signal on LJ and Myspace all day.

Ben, um...not to sound like a moonbrain, but as these are midnight showings...are we talking midnight on the 28th-to-29th and 29th-to-30th? Or 29th-to-30th and 30th-to-Oct-1st? Reason I'm asking is because I'm planning to attend on both nights.

Sorry for any unintended damage to IQs, gang.

Sunday, September 10, 2006 4:05 PM

Ha! You got me confused just reading that!

The showings are Friday and Saturday night... so the nights of the 29th turning into the 30th and the 30th turing into the first... Fri. and Sat. night...

When we program them into the ticketing computer here at work we actually program the shows as 11:59pm Friday and Saturday to avoid the same confusion! So Yes, the film shows 11:59pm Friday Sept. 29th and Sat. Sept. 30th...

Does this compute?

Hrm. Re: Scene re-enactment thingummies.

I shall look up those screen things and see if I can print up some fun excerpts. Depending on the scene, I'll print out a few copies for the 'players'. I don't have a printer so I'll have to use mom's (Livlass).

If anyone wants to help out, toss me an e-mail with your favorite scene from each episode. That way I won't have to read each script top to bottom to search for stuff. :)

...Now how to break the news to hubby that I'll be gone two nights in a row...? LOL

Hey all!

I've got a poster for anyone who would like to post it on up - it's letter sized - 8 1/2 by 11, and it's a .jpeg.

I'm going to try to attach it here... if that doesnwork, then I think Kaele will be able to get it online and link to it frm here...

Current pre-show plans include trivia and scene recreations starting about an hour before the show in the theater's cafe...

for folks who'd like to get dinner or drinks before that, there are plenty of places in the area... we're located in a town, not at a mall or something...

now let me try to paste in this image!!

anyway, since they had a bunch of folks who came out for that screening it'd be great to make sure that circle knows about this one... if anyone has the knowledge, please enlighten me.
