Philly had no special guest stars, but we got keychains, mini-poster cards, and programs (an item that wasn't present here last time) on the way in, and there was a birthday card going around along with one of the birthday banners for everyone to sign, and someone even brought cake.
My three friends loved the movie. Two of them weren't familiar with the show at all and one just watched all the episodes this week, but that didn't impact their enjoyment. The ones who haven't seen the show before both said they plan to get the DVDs. One of my friends had to leave because he has to get up early for work, but the remaining three of us stood in the parking lot for about 15 minutes singing the theme song and lamenting the fact it isn't September quite yet before going to a diner and continuing to discuss Serenity for another 30 minutes. They definitely won't be keeping silent about the film.
No key chain, but I got (and when I say got, I mean someone dropped theirs and I found it) a little bag with stickers. Blue Sun logos, Jaynestown University (?) - and best of all is a big sticker that's an ad for Mudder's Milk. V. cool. Oh, and someone gave us her program after the usher wouldn't give us one. ("They're all gone." "What about that one?" [growls ] "That's Mine.")
Nice, hostile usher pocketing swag that the studio earmarked for paying audience members. I'm enough of a bastard to take names and find out what the manager thinks about that sort of professional conduct.
No swag in Providence except for the keychains and programs. They passed around a birthday card for Joss, and folks sang "Happy Birthday" (twice, the second time so someone could camcorder it so they could send a DVD of it along with the card), and some guy in a really ugly hat led a sing along of "The Hero of Canton."
I wonder if the growly usher needed a program to follow what all the craxy fans were doing, or was a craxy fan, who had to work and was darn well at least going to come away with a program....
Naaah.
Could someone detail (non-spoilery, or if it is, in spoilers) what the program was like. We only got key chains at the last Boston show (it sits proudly with my Nilly Tour 2004 button).

Oh crap. I was gonna bring mine into work so I could scan it it. Oh well.
The program was nice. Tri-fold format, nice glossy photos, bios of cast and Joss.

Nothing that anyone who hangs in this thread probably didn't already know.
Frank, I have an extra copy if you want it.
I didn't know that
Buffy
is the number 2 selling TV show DVD. Or that the soundtrack to "Once More, With Feeling" has sold over 400,000 copies.
It was nice to see that info, though. I assume Friends is the #1 seller?
