We asked our sponsors why they support Can't Stop The Serenity.

This is what Steven Zimmerman of Think Geek had to say.

""Because our coats are brown.
Because life should be shiny.
Because everyone can be a big damn hero.

It might be cliche, but we're fans above all else. ThinkGeek does what it does because everyone here has an interest in the culture and community that surrounds and astounds us.
CSTS is no different. To see such a dedicated group going out year after year not only rallying around a beloved movie and show, but harnessing that power and turning it to the forces of good is a sight to behold.

We're all in this one together and we're proud to stand side by side with other Browncoats the world over."

It's another full weekend for Can't Stop The Serenity Cities.

They will also be showing a special interview with Sean Maher filmed just for this event!
Of course, Serenity will be the main attraction..

Their Online auction on Ebay is also going strong. Be sure to check it out.

The Seattle Browncoats are showing Serenity 2 nights in a row at the Browncoat friendly Wayward Coffee house.The Festivities start with Geek Bingo.

On Aug. 17th and 18th, Halifax, NS will hold a CSTS event with a 2 day long silent auction, an Evil laugh contest each day, Dr. Horrible shown each event and yes, Serenity 4 times.

You can choose an afternoon event or an evening, Friday or Saturday. The final Saturday screening will be a "Special Hell" version.

Each event will also have a Trivia contest with sections such as complete the quote: "We applied the cortical electrodes..." It's at a new theatre this year; Carbon Arc is now at the Museum of Natural History Auditorium.

This will be a great weekend!

Wendy Scott of the UK podcast Sending a Wave answers:

Personally speaking, I think Mal Reynolds pretty much hit the nail on the head when he said "It ain't about you, Jayne. It's about what they need" at the end of "Jaynestown" and I believe that the same can apply to CSTS in that it was created to support a charity that truly acts on the global stage bringing issues, distasteful and disturbing, that would normally pass the news agencies by whether it be how women are depicted in video games for the domestic Japanese market to the rape laws of Morocco.
Equality Now continues its work both diligently and tenaciously giving women a voice in countries where they either have none or it is a scared whisper to those whose society ought to know better.

Sending A Wave supports Can't Stop The Serenity as it is our fandom's annual opportunity to stand tall, metaphorically join hands across the planet in the knowledge that our efforts will allow EN to be a Big Damn Hero to a girl or woman who thought no one would care.
