It’s a huge weekend for Browncoats! This weekend sees events all over the world, and lots of opportunities for Browncoats to get together and have an awesome time! Lawrence, KS and Arlington, VA kick off the weekend tomorrow, June 24, with Arlington’s event continuing on Saturday June 25. Then on Saturday, there are events all over the place. In Canada, Edmonton, AB and Vancouver, BC are holding events. The UK has an event in Newcastle. And in the US, events are taking place in Boston, MA; Logan, UT; Los Angeles, CA; and New York, NY. To wrap up the weekend, Sunday, June 26 brings events in Baltimore, MD; Dallas/Fort Worth, TX; and Raleigh, NC. These events will offer all kinds of activities, contests, auctions, prizes, and special guests. Each city is sure to be a great time. Raleigh and Los Angeles are both already sold out, so if you are in the other cities buy your tickets now! And be sure to check back to see how everything went in the next few days, and to see what else is going on with CSTS.

We're very excited to share the news that Joss Whedon will be attending his first CSTS event this year! Taking a break from filming The Avengers, Joss will be part of CSTS Los Angeles together with Jessica Neuwirth, Equality Now Founder & Chair, and Amanda Sullivan, Director of Equality Now's Women's Action Network (and member of the CSTS Global Steering Committee). California Browncoats are hosting the event, which will take place on 25 June 2011 at the Harmony Gold Theater in Hollywood. Ticketing and event information can be found on the California Browncoats website. We're delighted to have Joss, Jessica and Amanda involved in our sixth year of CSTS events, and we hope that everyone who attends has a wonderful time. This is an amazing opportunity to raise lots of money for Equality Now, and make this a landmark year!
