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.
