It's (going to be) freaking BIGWhat better way to tell Warner Brothers we want more TSCC than to send a mobile billboard to their headquarters to circle them? You think I'm kidding? No way! You think I'm crazy? I just might be! So, that's got to be expensive, right? A mobile billboard? Indeed it is, but not very expensive at all if everyone chips in. $3500 is all we need to do this and surely there are enough true TSCC fans to make that happen. Will you join us? Details here.We don't have a finished design yet, but we'll be working off this basic concept:

Now that I would pay good money to see! And I will, as soon as Cat holds my hand for the pay pal thing  If (actually, I'm sure it'll be a when!) we do manage to raise the funds for that and get it organised, something that big, might be worth mentioning to the media... |

Yeah, it'll be "when". A couple of us kicked in $100 each last night which helped give the donation meter a nice starting boost. But even if most fans only pitch in $5-$25, I have no doubt we can meet the goal. It requires a 20-30 lead time for production and scheduling, so to have this billboard run on our target dates of Sept 21-23 (to coincide with the DVD release), we need to have it funded by August 20th. But the sooner the better to make sure we can get those dates! Alerting the media is a good idea and something we talked about doing. They will likely not care, but you never know. If it's a slow news day, it could end up being the quirky little story at the end of the news. So we're going to do a press release to the local media in Los Angeles. And once we've got picture and video from schmacky and gothamite of this thing in action, we'll pimp it all over the web. I love this plan!! And this nerd does not live far from WB so I will be there with all my cameras taking pictures and such. I'm so excited ;D |

Great idea!! Can you imagine Summer, Lena, Thomas and Brian coming out while the show's music playing loud? That would be amazing!!!  Anyone having Zack's e-mail or something? Maybe we could contact him so that he could contact them. It's worth a try!  Hang in there, baby!_______________ EDIT: I checked out the Wiki, Sci Fi and WB forums in case it wasn't posted there yet and posted the link on Summer-Glau.net comment's box for them to know about the project.  |

But the sooner the better to make sure we can get those dates! Definitely a fabulous idea to tie it in with the DVD release. Some might tie it in with their coverage of the DVD release. Pimp it to all the web sites... specially those who supported the show like i09. You never know, it might be crazy enough for something like EW to give a mention...or TV Guide They liked the show didn't they? There's a couple of monthly SF mags over here, I can drop them a line at the time. |

We're up to $1615 in donations! Keep them rolling in. We've still got a ways to go, but it's clear this fandom is up to it. |

Just saw this on the front page, AMAZING! ;D I'll throw in a good chunk to start, hopefully we will make it by the deadline. I might end up following this thing around LA with my camera gear |

Awesome, Ronnie Every fan is needed to make this happen. What's amazed me is how quickly people have come together to fund this project. At the time I'm writing this, we're only $295 away from having it fully funded and I feel pretty confident we'll hit the goal sometime in the coming week. TSCC fans rock, they really do. There have been times where I think we've all felt like the fandom was very divided, but when it comes to getting more of the show we all love so much, we are some seriously united fans. |

Since the goal is going to hit so soon, any chance of getting it to run longer than 3 days?

I'm not sure if we can have it run for a 4th day or if we'd have to commit to an additional 3 days. I'll check on that on Monday. If we can add another day on, I guess we could do a poll and see if fans want the donations to continue on to fund a longer run or cut off at $3500 and just stick with the original 3-day plan. Personally, I think 3 days is plenty long enough to saturate the area and get WB's attention and if we want to raise more money, we're probably better off using it for another campaign instead of more of the same. I'll look into it, though.

Maybe we could rent a helicopter and trow flyers all over LA - especially over the WB studios. That would be super cool. ;D Talking serious, this great achievement shows how passionate and committed the Resistance Fighters are. This fan base is beyond awesome. |

LOL Alexis ;D
The fundraising for this mobile billboard campaign was launched in the early morning hours on June 29th and here we are just shy of a week later and we're only $130 from the goal. That's just incredible. TSCC fans rock.
