Hey browncoats! It must be working! When I went to Amazon just now I could only get a max of 4 BDM DVD copies and it wouldn't let me get any Firely series copies (it says the max is 5 but you can't order no matter what number you put in)! If you go to deep discount dvd ( http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com) they still got them I had to go there to get the two copies of the series I wanted. Stay shiny!

Oh-and the BDM showing in Pittsburgh last night was terrific!

Yeah but if people look at that, assume we all bought four, and do the math it's going to make things look much worse than they are.

Just went and bought mine as well as the BDM soundtrack, Firefly Soundtrack, the official visual companion and....I think that's it.

Went to the early bird screening in Fresno. It's the first time I've seen the BDM on the big screen. Let's just say I was in awe. For having seen the movie so many times, I had no idea it could effect me like that. There were tears, there was laughter, there was joy. It was well worth the drive and the lethargy I'm feeling sitting here at work so early in the am.

I've been calling all my friends so we can make the trip up to Chicago for the screening tonight! How awesome is this, Browncoats? I'm so proud of everyone who helped organize this, because I've been looking forward to today for months! And since Chicago finally got verified, I'm one happy independent. I hope everyone has the shiniest day, because today, we can make a difference for women around the world AND the Firefly 'Verse!

And that makes us mighty.

Goodmorning,

Look out friends and relitives, your gonna watch this show even if it means I will turn into Niska..... ha..ha mine is an evil,pain giving ( but only until they see the show and like it) laugh.

Hope to see you there, Earthshine! I'll be with five other BCs, if we can all find each other.

Try to keep dry! Hope the predicted rain doesn't keep the attendance down.

A Happy Serenity Day to one and all, and a big Happy Birthday to the one and only Joss!

I'm hoofing it to two screenings today, but just can't spare the funds for extra DVDs. Does that make me a bad person, or just a poor Browncoat?

On second thought, don't answer that.

Happy Serenity Day, everyone! I haven't been here for ages because of all the preparation for the Fresno screening. I want to thank everyone who attended our screening last night. I was so happy! We had a great crowd, raised over $1500 for Equality Now, and had people drive here from Reno, Los Angeles, and San Jose.

If you were there and you drove here from other cities than those mentioned, would you please email me and tell me where? Also, if you won a prize in the drawing, please email me with your name and what you won. Maybe you could even have someone take a picture of you with your prize and send it to me.

I'm off to buy an extra copy of Serenity and maybe Firefly--if any are still available.

Stay shiny!!

Well ladies and gents, the big day is now here.

I just did a search for "Serenity Day" on Google and was really pleased to see how far and wide people have been spreading the signal. (Other than that weird day spa result???)

I've already got e-mail reports of people hitting the internet and local stores to go out and buy their DVDs.

Just a few friendly reminders/recommendations to help maximize our Serenity Day:

1) Use the gateway links from Browncoat related sites (like Fireflyfans.net!)

2) Donate your extra copies to www.whedonverse.org. If you want to ship directly from your online purchase, their address is:
Whedonverse Project
2443A Ramblewood Ct.
Tallahassee, FL 32303

3) Wear your Serenity stuff! No matter where you purchased it, wear it! Show our strength as a fangroup and wear those tees.

4) Cap off your Serenity Day by hitting a Serenity Now/Equality Now screening nearby. Find a local showing at www.cantstoptheserenity.com


---

When I first signed on to do this and help organize, I never thought this would be such a huge movement. I am constantly amazed by the spirit and generosity of Browncoats. For a fangroup that relies heavily on word-of-mouth we accomplish alot more than some people realize. Once again we are doing the impossible.

Today more than ever I am proud to call myself a Browncoat.

Vicki, I was there! Drove over from SLO. I had a great time. Thanks to the Fresno Browncoats for all their hard work. I would've been VERY sad to miss this event. I'm sitting at work with my little gift pack showing my co-workers...who think I'm completely crazy for driving 2.5 hours to see a movie I've already seen a dozen times. If they only knew....

I'm curious to know what was in those lovely bags. I crossed my fingers hoping that my number would be called, but no such luck.

HAPPY SERENITY DAY!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSS!!!

For everyone who is making their way to see the BDM on the Big Damn Screen, have fun. You'll probably never again go to a theatre and see the energy so great. I went to Ann Arbor, and saw a homemade Jayne hat and a girl dressed up as Kaylee. It was a blast and the big screen brings out details that i've never noticed before.

For everyone who has/is organizing a screening, Thank You. I know it hasn't been easy, but i think the Karma Fairy owes you big for this.

And for everyone at FOX, well...hmmm. Let's just say i hope you're paying attention and pulling your hair out.

Just bought me another copy of the BDM. I think that makes 4 or 5 in toto over the last year. The 11.88 purchase price at Amazon makes it even Shinier.

Does anyone know if the charity screening money will get added to the total take of the movie?

Great to be part of the day and proud to wear my virtual Browncoat. Have an amazing time all of you lucky ones getting to go to a screening,

The net proceeds for the charity screening money go to the CHARITY. hence it being a charity screening, and not to Universal!

Happy Serenity Day....and I encourage those of you who can't go to a screening, you should donate to Equality Now! Thats one of the main driving points of the campaign.

http://www.equalitynow.org

They can do good things with your money.
