I haven't seen this many posts in this thread since I went away for two months. Yeah, and hi to Randy and Laura. Way to go on the guerrilla advertising!
Before the movie was a done deal, I sent emails and wrote "Firefly, Keep Flyin'" with a website that I unfortunately do not remember right now on all of my dollar bills. It worked, and I am personally taking the credit. Sure, Joss worked out the deal with Universal, and others actually did web sites and all, but I'm sure that it's my email to Universal and defaced dollar bills in this backwater that put it all over the top.
And for that, we all thank you. Hee.
Not that I'm full of myself or anything.
No, no, just honest. Personally, all I contributed was wishful thinking.
Hello to Randy and Laura! Yay for browncoats and boobage, two things that go well together.
Someone asked where I got the info about Joss coming to WizardWorld Philly. (Sorry - after I moved my computer wouldn't work for a week.) The official Serenity movie site says "Joss Whedon is confirmed to appear at the Wizard World convention in Philadelphia on June 4th, and he'll be bringing some of our big damn heroes with him." I found the info on Whedonesque, but he's still not listed as a guest on the WizardWorld site. Frustrating.
Here is the thing about guerilla marketing. It is fun. The four of us (Randy, Laura, me, and the world's most scrumptious goilfriend) took a tour down Interstate 94 from Eau Claire to Minneapolis Sunday and put up posters and stickers in every reststop in both directions.
Pissing off DOT workers in two states is good for the soul.
Makes me almost wish for an interstate with rest stops. But not quite.
Are you making the posters and stickers, or are you getting them somewhere?
Your local soulless business supply chain store sells peal-and-stick paper for your bubble jet printer.
It is the very
Age
of vandalism.
on edit: The sticky paper is a 3M product that I worked on while working for them. My entire life has been only prologue to FF guerrilla marketing.
No chain business supply stores here, but I imagine non-chain would too. I was mostly asking about what you have on them though. Do you have a link to a specific picture? A copy of the official one?
And...you worked for 3M? So cool. Perhaps it's because my dad is from Minnesota, but I always thought 3M was nifty. I love all the cool things those folks have come up with.

3M is not cool. 3M is a soulless multinational that strives to inflict mediocrity on all its employees. It pisses me off no end that I worked for them for 20+ years.
