Pre-Selling ends on May 30th. We are doing a very limited purchase of Global Merchandise, so pre-ordering is the only way to confirm your size will be in stock and available. Once Global Merchandise is gone - it is gone for good. We are not doing any re-orders.

T-Shirts, Posters, Big Damn Bags for Pre-Sale Now.

With artwork from Adam Levermore-Rich, you know you’ll want to own these amazing pieces of ‘Verse memorabilia. We are offering women’s and junior’s sized t-shirts in addition to the standard men’s t-shirt sizes. This year we also have two sizes of posters. So if 24x36 is a little too big for your bedroom wall, how about an 11x17?

New to this year – The Big Damn Bag! Taking cue from our neighbors, the Dallas Browncoats, we’ve put together a limited number of Big Damn Bags for our attendees to pre-purchase. These bags will have a number of Can’t Stop The Serenity Essentials, as well as some limited edition goodies. Want to help out Equality Now and get one of everything (and then some)?

This is the second year of the charity event, Can't Stop The Serenity and it's not too late to help!

On or around Joss Whedon's birthday (June 23) Serenity screenings (the best move ever) are held around the world for his favorite charity, Equality Now. It's a great chance to see the Big Damn Movie on the big screen again and to support women's rights.

From the Can't Stop the Serenity website: "Equality Now is doing amazing work around the globe, bringing the vision of gender equality closer to reality every day through campaigns against issues such as rape, female genital mutilation, spousal abuse."

Last year over $65,000 was raised by screenings in 41 cities worldwide. This year the goal is to reach $100,000. With 51 cities participating and over $75,000 reported in so far we may just reach that goal!

The Austin screening sold out quickly so don't feel bad for missing it. But there are still ways to participate!

Magnets, T-Shirts, Posters and goodie bags are still available. And since not all the really cool stuff was raffled at the event due to time constraints, each purchase of $10 earns 5 raffle tickets!!!!!!!!!!!

To view and purchase go to the Merch Page.

Items still available for purchase:

• Magnets $5
• Program + Goodie Bag $10
• Book, Finding Serenity $18
• Poster $20
• T-Shirt $25

Some of the items up for raffle include:

• Signed Pictures
• DVDs
• CDs
• Props from the Movie, "Serenity"
• Signed Comics
• Signed Posters
• Custom Costumes
• Gift Certificates

You can support charity, buy cool stuff and maybe win even cooler stuff! Why wait?

9:45PM, Buffy Sing-Along - Sold Out!
11:58PM, Buffy and Angel Finales
Alamo Drafthouse Downtown

Tickets available for Buffy and Angel Finales here

Serenity: The Movie

A passenger with a deadly secret. Six rebels on the run. An assassin in pursuit. When the renegade crew of Serenity agrees to hide a fugitive on their ship, they find themselves in an action-packed battle between the relentless military might of a totalitarian regime who will destroy anything - or anyone - to get the girl back and the bloodthirsty creatures who roam the uncharted areas of space. But, the greatest danger of all may be on their ship.

The Alamo Drafthouse is offering a Serenity Feast along with the movie, made up of foods from the Firefly world.

Buffy Singalong

It's Joss's birthday and what better way to celebrate the work he's done than support his championed charity. We could just show Serenity, one of the best movies ever made, but we decided that since our event is going to help close down the Original Alamo Drafthouse, we need to go out with a bang! We are going to have a Buffy Sing- Along, as well! Lyrics available here. We'll have free lighters as usual, but now they'll have special Buffy Sing-Along logos on them and might not explode! We'll have your bubbles and fangs and dancing bunnies and underwear too, of course, but those won't all say Buffy on them. We'll also reprise the "Stake the Vampire" game we did at the all-night show last month, but please - do not stake Henri in the crotch!

Buffy and Angel Finales

Since the Alamo's ongoing tradition with the work of Joss Whedon began years ago with a screening of the Buffy series finale, we decided to revisit that idea since the Original Alamo Drafthouse is moving onto a new location and a new beginning. So come down to the original Alamo one last time and say good-bye in style with the finales of both BUFFY and ANGEL! And remember, support Equality Now, Joss's favorite charity by getting involved with Can't Stop The Serenity. For more information, email Beth.

Can't Stop the Serenity 2006 raised over $65,000 for Equality Now, and we are looking to raise $100,000 in 2007!

For more information about the screening, visit our Theatre page. We are in need of volunteers. See our Support page, as well as our News section below to keep apprised of our volunteer opportunties and descriptions. We are also looking for individuals and businesses to donate items to be used for our raffle and silent auctions. Based on donations and sponsorships, we will try to offer door prizes. More information about that will be available in our News and Theatre section.

Equality Now

Equality Now was founded in 1992 to work for the protection and promotion of the human rights of women around the world. Working with national human rights organizations and individual activists, Equality Now documents violence and discrimination against women and mobilizes international action to support their efforts to stop these human rights abuses.

We are hosting an After-Serenity shindig at the Dog and Duck Pub at 17th and Guadaloupe on Sunday from 5-10pm.

A $10 donation gets you 2 beers and appetizers, free chips and salsa. They also have the following specials for those Browncoats who attend:

$5 pitcher of domestic (Bud Light, Miller Light, Shiner Bock)
$2 off draft for everything except the ciders, Guinness and Chimay.
$4 glass for Guinness
All appetizer platters are 50% off
Remaining food and drink items are menu price, but the Dog and Duck Pub is giving a percentage of those orders to Equality Now.

The Dog and Duck Pub holds 100 people, so please RSVP for this event.

We are accepting pre-orders for T-shirts, posters, magnets, etc through Friday. T-shirt prices will be $26.50 (sizes S-XL) and $31.50 (2XL-3XL), so pre-order now!

The business sponsorships are beginning to roll in, but we still need volunteers to head up reaching the local Austin businesses! Who wants to be a part of this amazing event? For every volunteer that brings in at least $20 in donation or sponsorship money, you will receive one raffle ticket towards a special edition poster for our event. There is NO limit to how many raffle tickets one individual can have. Get the donations people. I'm asking every volunteer to find 5 people that are willing to donate $20 each. It's not hard to do, but you can't get the donations if we aren't asking.

Everyone that would like to receive updates on Austin's CSTS Event - Join our Mailing List! You'll receive updates on our auctions and raffled goods, as well as specifics for the event. You'll also get the chance to hear about volunteer opportunities. People subscribed to the Mailing List will be the first to find out important event information!

For all Browncoat Volunteers: We are asking you to find 5 people that are willing to donate $20 to Equality Now. Of course, we'll accept ANY donation, but this is a goal. If we have 20 volunteers and each volunteer finds 5 individuals willing to donate for this cause - that adds up to $2000. Last year, Austin donated $500 to Equality Now - we need to show them that we are dedicated to this amazing cause.

So, who wants to get involved? Email Beth to discuss volunteering and donations.

We are looking for people willing to prepare and support a fast-paced marketing campaign to gain some local business sponsorships.

We are looking for fundraisers, Street Team members, local artists, contributors, printers, and photo and videographers. Please see the Support page for more info.

Welcome to the newly redesigned Austin "Can't Stop the Serenity" website! We're excited about the upcoming screening of Serenity, and raising money for Equality Now.
