Adelaide will be holding their second CSTS event on Saturday 8th October. This year they’ve been lucky enough to have donated space so will be showing Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog as well as holding a raffle and cosplay competition then finishing off with the BDM.
Organiser Emma says “The very generous people at the Palace Nova cinema in the middle of the city have donated a screen to our event so we were able to get the approval to show Dr Horrible fairly easily. We’re going to be handing out interactive bags to all the Browncoats on the day – we’ve billed it as Joss Whedon meets Rocky Horror and we’re very confident that it will be a lot of fun!”
“We have some amazing raffle prizes thanks to some awesome donations from bigger organisations such as Supanova and Oz Comic Con down to individual Browncoats who have offered personal items or things they have created themselves, like the awesome Serenity cufflinks made by Get Your Geek On.”… Read more…
On Saturday, September 3rd, the Utah Browncoats and Salt Lake Comic Con will host their second major CSTS event of the season.
They will be holding their popular screening of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog at the Salt Lake City Comic Con. All proceeds from this fan favorite event are being donated to Equality Now.
Organizers William Pace and Kerry Gisler explain, “People literally run up to us with excitement when they see us selling tickets because they consider this their ‘Salt Lake Comic Con tradition’.” With a seating capacity of nearly 900 seats, it is one of the largest venues of the CSTS season. Screening Dr. Horrible is a true team effort. The room is donated by the fine folks at Salt Lake Comic Con and many faithful volunteers from the Utah Browncoats help make this event a success year to year.… Read more…

Special guests included Joss Whedon, Felicia Day, Michael Fairman, Tim Minear, Jane Espensen, Nathan Fillion, and Jessica Neuwirth and Amanda Sullivan from Equality Now.
Can’t Stop the Serenity (CSTS) is a unique opportunity to indulge your geeky side while doing some good! Since 2006, fans have organized screenings of Joss Whedon's Serenity to raise funds and awareness to support Equality Now in their work for the protection and promotion of the human rights of women around the world. Join us as we aim to misbehave for a good cause!
There are two ways to fight a battle like ours. One is to whisper in the ear of the masses, try subtlely and gradually to change the gender expectations and mythic structures of our culture. That’s me. The other is to step up and confront the thousands of atrocities that are taking place around the world on an immediate, one-by-one basis. That’s a great deal harder, and that’s Equality Now. It’s not about politics; it’s about basic human decency.
