The countdown is on to the first Can’t Stop the Serenity event of 2009!

CSTS Dallas is first cab off the ranks with their CSTS Musical Showcase on Sunday, 24 May. Musical performers include Marian Call, Inner Frequency and Kristina Morland, so if you’re down Dallas way head on over for a fun filled night of great food, drinks, Whedonverse trivia and phenomenal music!

June is packed full of events, with over 20 events already raring to go. We’re starting off in Toronto, Canada and then the US events kick into high gear! Check our Calendar for all the
details.

We’re thrilled to see so many cities back with events in 2009, many in their fourth successful year of raising funds for Equality Now. And we’re beyond excited to see that Can’t Stop the Serenity is still growing!… Read more…

Dear CSTSland:

How are all you amazing Browncoats? Thank you for working so hard to make Can’t Stop the Serenity 2009 an amazing success!

I come to you today with hat in hand. Why? Well I just bet you’ve seen the affiliate form and thought… hmmm we get it on May 1st AND it’s the deadline… What’s up with Global? Why wasn’t it up before?

Do you want to have a CSTS event in your area, but can’t find a willing or reasonably priced cinema? Are there not enough Browncoats, or think there’s not enough time to get it done for this year?

Become an Affiliate City!

Affiliate Events could include a quiz night, a BBQ, Dr Horrible screening or a bakesale in the name of CSTS. You’ll receive acknowledgment on the website for your efforts, be part of the CSTS community, and you’ll have helped support a really wonderful cause, Equality Now.

There is a special allocation of global swag (items donated by global sponsors) for Affiliate Events.

This is a great opportunity to get together with likeminded people and spread a little “Can’t Stop the Serenity” joy.

Event Registration deadlines are as follows:
