Almarsáre

Sorry

qwertplaywert

went very well,aye?
thought serenity was 10 times as good on the big screen........

slasher_65

That was stunning.

Even though I didn't get a Jayne hat. (speaking of which, what is the address of the website which sold those very fetching lanyards? I simply MUST have one!)

*grrrrr*

Thanks Almar!

User45701

what i would love to have is replica of "vera" (Janes Gun) tha i could mount on my wall, that would be savage.

Great day all hope to see you all at the next shindig

vengeance52

the film looked savage on the big screen, really great show. i want a jayne hat too.

Great Job Almarsáre

Shiny

Almarsáre

Glad you all had a good time. I just got in and a fantastic time. Thanks to everyone for coming and making it so much fun.

I'll post the final tally for Equality Now tomorrow when I am sober.

The web address for the lanyards is www.outtotheblack.com

Hope to see you all at the next shindig. Keep an eye out for the dates. It will be sometime in July

Almarsáre

We had an almost full house. In the end we sold 154 out of 158 tickets.

Pre screening was busy with T-shirt Sales and Raffle Ticket Sales which better than I could have hoped for. T-Shirts sold out fast and raffle sales went swimmingly with one report of someone spending €60 on tickets. Thats approx $80.

I think in all the organising and panic before hand I had completely forgotten that I would get to see the movie myself. Seeing it back on the big screen was just beautiful. And I have no other words for it than that. There may have been tears.

After the movie I thanked all our sponsors and volunteers and my voice froze up a bit. I hate public speaking but that was the only thing to go wrong all day.

The auction was next which was loads of fun. A Christina Hendricks signed photo and a Joss Whedon signed soundtrack that had been donated sparked the biggest bidding wars.

Raffle was next which was again loads of fun. Some light hearted heckling and banter and then it was all over. A Last Thank You and then it was time to head to the shindig.

About half the cinema audience came to the shindig and our venue looked after us exceedingly well. Food was yummy. Mingled with all the new people. Pimped our shindigs so hopefully we will have some more people at the next few ones.

As the crowed started to thin out, we decided to move on. After a slightly tipsy detour to a toy shop (don't ask) we stopped at another pub for a few drinks and then we went for dinner at the best chinese restaurant I have ever eaten in.

One last pub after that and the long day was starting to hit people and it was home to bed.

I had an absolute blast.

Thanks to everyone who helped on the day. Best Crew Ever

And so lastly what you all want to know. The final amount raised for Equality Now from Dublin is €3,247.96

User45701

Thats great news i love the 96 cent part

I really did have great fun if i wasent so tired after the 21st i was at the night before i would have loved to say and this Chinese sounds interesting where is it because its been a long time since i had a popper duck cantonese style.

I was well happy with the whole thing and it really was something else to see on the big screen my mate who missed it was well pissed off after i told him

Heres to next year

Skinfull

It was amazing! When I first heard about the cinema screening I put the DVD away coz I wanted to be starved for serenity by the time the movie came back onto the big screen and it was fantastic!!! I had forgotton the bit at the and with Simon and Kaylee and it was just AMAZING!!!
Great day and well done to everyone who organised it...now...whats this I hear about Shindigs in Dublin?

Cactus Col

Yeah ... had a great time .... was brilliant to see it on the big screen .... and see a lot of things I hadn't noticed before.

padimus

Yeah, it was nice seeing it on the big screen again, had a good time in the pub afterwards. It was probably the only place in Ireland that i could say "that was the episode where River shot those 4 guys" and have people know what the hell i was going on about.

User45701

Re-watching "Out Of Gas" is defiantly something you should do after watching serenity, just watched it there...

vengeance52

yup watched it yesterday, one of my faves cos the background stories, plus jaynes unmistakable line,

Mal: "Looks can be deceiving."

Jayne: "Not as deceiving as a lowdown, dirty... deceiver."

Mal: "Well said. Wasn't that well said, Zoe?"

Zoe: "Had a kind of poetry to it, sir."

Almarsáre

I'm glad you all enjoyed it and I hope to see you all at a future shindig.

Photos of the Dublin Event if anyone is interested. Most of them are from the shindig afterwards

slasher_65

Nice. Any chance of those being put up on flickr? Cause it would be then easier for people to make a group.

DeVore

Can't Stop The Food.... by the looks of those pics

DeV.

Almarsáre

The food was yummy besides we had to soak up all the alcohol

slasher_65

There were fights for the onion rings at my table. Lucky, i was the only one who liked those strange garlicy ball things.

Skinfull

there was a fight for the cocktail saussages at our table but then the staff arrived with another plate and it was like Taz!!! Whirlwind of hands!

norrie rugger

of all the dirty rutten low down 件粪便


why did i not bloody see this thread untill the bloody 12th of August!!
Better not tell the girlfriend, she will kill me. I got to see Serenity in the cinema when it first came out, she is a later convert and never saw it in all its big screen glory.

So..... anyone want to organise it again please??
you would sell two extra tickets

qwertplaywert

I would certainly be interested is this was made a annual[or maybe a semi annual] event.........


Finding meself wearing the t-shirt a lot lately

vengeance52

id love to see the series on the big screen. Two episodes back to back, once a week would be alot of fun

User45701

ye i wear the t-shirt as well can be a good conversation starter in beer gardins, its only a once a year thing but the idea of maybe a large shindig where we get a pub with a dvd projecter and just watch the series and drinkl and have a laugh all day

washiskin

:eek:

Is this a RuggerHead I see before me?!

Norrie!!!!! Where have you been?!

Some of us have come over to the dark side in order to escape some of the cretins on serenitymovie.org.........

Indeed it is.
the other site went down hill recently alright. I know it is a FF/Ser site but there is only so much one can take at anyone time. even the general topic forum was nothing but FF/Ser


not going to the World cup i am afraid as i am a bit broke for some reason. Did you see the injury? an absolute nothing of a twist and he is crocked. tis a balls

washiskin

I didn't see it as I was on the road at the time, but the poor sod. Of all people. All the hype before hand was if Geordan Murphy would be jinxed again....

Anyway, you should try to get along to the September shindig......if there will be one. It's usually good fun and no-one bites......we even talk about non-FF/S stuff! :eek:

Great to see you again......

btw I was CailinDeas on SM.org......I miss my Sean Bean Avatar.......:rolleyes:

sutty

Try to keep it on topic people.


Captain tight pants has spoken :cool:

Almarsáre

Almarsáre
