There's lots going on this weekend... if you're in the land downunder! Melbourne, Australia is bringing CSTS downunder on Saturday 27 August. Don't miss out! There'll be auction goodies including autographs by Joss Whedon, costumes, raffles and more. Also, there will be an event in Syracuse, NY at the Storch Theatre at the Syracuse Stage, 820 East Genesee. The event starts at 6pm.

Did you miss out on getting your hands on some of our 2011 merchandise? Not to fret, it's not too late! If you're looking for apparel (shirts & hoodies) some cities still have some available (check on the forum here for details). Anyone wishing to order patches should email merchandise@cantstoptheserenity.com and you will be put in contact with Sean. Patches are $2.00 (US) each, plus shipping.

It's a bumper weekend for CSTS! This Saturday has a great range of events to choose from...

For those on the other side of the pond, head over to Beeston, UK for a wedding shindig with a difference as they mix a nuptual celebration with a CSTS shindig!

On this very special day, we wish a super awesome birthday to the one-and-only Joss Whedon – the creator of Firefly and the inspiration behind Can't Stop the Serenity! Not only does Joss create amazing characters, he inspires us to be better than we are, and to move mountains to make this world a shinier place. So, on behalf of the Global Steering Committee, the 2011 Global Team, our incredible local organising teams and devoted supporters - Happy Birthday Joss!!
