A BENEFIT FOR MERCY CORPS' HURRICANE KATRINA RELIEF EFFORTS

SEE JOSS WHEDON'S "FIREFLY" ON THE BIG SCREEN

(Presented by PDX Browncoats)

• DATE:

  Saturday, September 24, 2005

• TIME:

  1:00 PM to 5:00 PM

• LOCATION:

  Guild Theater, 829 SW 9th Avenue, Portland OR 97205

• WHAT:

  Three episodes of Joss Whedon's "Firefly" will be shown at the Guild Theater, with proceeds going to Mercy Corps' hurricane relief efforts on the Gulf Coast.

• PRICE:

  $7.00 per person, of which $6.00 goes to Mercy Corps' hurricane relief efforts (with $1.00 going to the venue).

  There also will be an opportunity to offer additional donations to Mercy Corps above and beyond this ticket price.

• DETAILS:

  Showing on the 14x23-foot screen at the Guild Theater will be three episodes of "Firefly" -- "Serenity" (the two-hour pilot) and two episodes to be determined by local "Firefly" fans via online poll by Friday, September 23.

  The Guild Theater seats 375 people, so a sell-out would mean a total donation to Mercy Corps in excess of $2,000.

• NOTE ON PROCEEDS:

  PDX Browncoats is attempting to cover the up-front costs of theater rental and rights to show "Firefly" so that these costs are not taken from the take at the door on the day of the event.
