Come to the 'Serenity' charity screenings! But first, help avert the organizers' poster crisis!


This post was going to be a simple promotion of the event, but that will have to wait ....



So I'm involved in the planning of the June 22-23 'Serenity' charity screenings at the Hollywood Theatre. They benefit Equality Now and the Women's Film Initiative. And the organizers had a pretty sweet deal where they were getting posters and flyers printed for free.

Well, now they very suddenly don't.

Quoting b!X -- the main organizer of the local screening effort -- in his web post on the matter at Furious Nads!:

Urgent: Own A Print Shop? Friendly With A Print Shop?

(12 Jun 2007) -- Here's how it is. Our source of free printing for this year's charity screenings of Joss Whedon's Serenity had a family emergency pretty much right when the print job would have happened, and (quite understandably, of course) needs to deal with that.

So that leaves our event -- with only 10 days to go -- with no posters, flyers, or handbills. So I'm poking my network of people. What we need right now is a print shop which will, if not outright donate printing costs (always preferred, obviously) then at least either give a huge break on those costs, or be willing to delay payment until after the event when we will actually be able to pay.

We're talking color, and a rush-job. We're talking 8.5x11 flyers and 8.5x11 four-up handbills. And possibly at least a handful of 11x17s. [You can view and download these beauts right here, BTW. -- ed.] If you own a print shop, or are very friendly with one, and can hook us up, I and all the other organizers would be greatly appreciative. Just email me if you can help.

This could not have happened at a worse time. If anyone on this mailing list has some advice for b!X, feel free to drop me a line ASAP and I'll pass it along to him. Cheers.
