Heh, no Sean Maher in Toronto again ? That was so cool during that first screening of Serenity up here.

I'm so out of the loop on this, need to check that link in a sec to find out dates and arrangements and all that. I could go for another in-theatre viewing, only saw it twice back in 2005 (although more three times on DVD and parts on The Movie Network since then).

I've really wanted to see Firefly in a theatre too, but not so soon 'cause I just finished it last month with my bud. He'd already seen Serenity and liked it, but didn't know about the series.

Good job on the banner, guys! Catchy!

Kosovo? That's sort-of amazing.

Kosovo? That's sort of Fantastic!

My Brother is a Lt. Col. Stationed there. I'm gonna let him know about this. Permaybehaps he can get some of his troops a little R&R, and create good relations with the locals through our BDM. :)

Kris, We won't have Sean, worst luck, but we will have lots of fun, some tremendous auction items and door prizes, followed by a shindig. Toronto's screening is June 21st. Details are here.
See you there!

Can the maintainer of cantstoptheserenity.com update the Portland link? It's http://serenitynow.pdxbrowncoats.com/
Thanks.

If you're interested in a CSTS 2008 t-shirt, you might want to pre-order to ensure availability of your size and style. Stock will vary at each event, but I know the SoCal events (LA, OC, San Diego) will have limited stock for same day purchase, and the SoCal pre-order deadline is May 24.

I've added a couple of links about the Memphis screening to the entry.

bix, I assume that would've taken time and money I can't afford to expend.

UnpluggedCrazy | May 23, 02:16 CET

It definitely eats up the time. But as far as money goes, it all depends on how you do it. In SoCal, we've actually pre-sold enough shirts and tickets to pay for all 3 screening costs. Before the payments are due. Now all we have to pay for out of pocket is the shirts and posters, which isn't going to be a huge burden.

I think the main hurdle for most organizers is getting a theater at a low cost, good time and with a willingness to work with you. After that it's usually pretty easy. Somehow Browncoats come out of the woodwork for CSTS screenings.

I'm not getting much off the Kosovo connection linked here. And I'm skeptical. I can easily picture a military screening on a U.S. base. That's how I saw Serenity the second and third times. But a CSTS? How?

dreamlogic | May 23, 12:03 CET

It is under Affiliate City Events. Basically, not a screening in a theater but a bunch of fans getting together and raising some money for charity. Might turn into more than just a little gathering if TDBrown gets a Lt. Col. involved.

Yeah, but Kosovo is a country (just recently) not a city. Anyway, while it's great if people there want to participate, Kosovo is more likely a recipient more than a donor for Equality Now.
