Life has been doing that a great deal for me personally over the past 2 years so it's got to the point where I have to pull out of my involvement with CSTS.<br /><br />The events over the past 3 years have been high points for me and it saddens me that I am not able to be a part of it in what is looking to be CSTS's biggest year yet. However, this does not mean that Melbourne won't have an event this year - it will. 2007 CSTS volunteer and well-known Browncoat JenskiJen has stepped in to organise a CSTS event here in Melbourne set tentitively for August 2009. All info for this years' event will be available through the main CSTS website - <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.cantstoptheserenity.com">www.cantstoptheserenity.com</a>.<br /><br />At this time, I'd like to thank everyone involved in the previous Melbourne CSTS events for their time and support in making CSTS Melbourne such a success. Special thanks to my crew members - couldn't have done it without you. Over the past 3 years, Melbourne Browncoats have attended CSTS in force & helped raise nearly $5000 for Equality Now. I urge you all to continue supporting the good work EN does by spreading the word & attending this years' event. I will... and I hope to see you there.<br /><br />Keep flying!<br /><br />Ian Morgan<br />Event Organiser<br />CSTS Melbourne 2006 / 2007 / 2008.Mad Doghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06789640632188153090noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26914725.post-74911497709343052032008-06-16T13:44:00.003+10:002008-06-16T13:50:33.864+10:00CSTS Melbourne 2008 EventHi all!<br /><br />Apologies for neglecting this blog but all CSTS Melbourne info is now available via the CSTS Australia & New Zealand website at <a href="http://www.cstsanz.com/melbourne">www.cstsanz.com/melbourne</a>.<br /><br />The short version is that there is a 2008 Event here in Melbourne to be held at the Kino Dendy Cinema, 45 Collins St, Melbourne on Sunday 6 July 2008 at 3.30pm.

We'll wait.<br /><br />Read it? CSTS is not just about <span style="font-style: italic;">Serenity</span>, it's about stopping this sort of thing from happening. Do your part and come along to the screening (news soon, I promise), buy a poster or (better yet, AND) a t-shirt. Donate. Spread the word.

Now available for purchase for just $20. These beautiful prints look fantastic and will make a great talking point in any home. There are only a very limited number of posters available, so get in quick to make sure you don't miss out!<br /><br />T-shirts pre-ordering is also available now for a limited time - all sizes $25. The tees will look like the one shown in the photo with a listing of all CSTS 2007 events on the back. As these items are being imported from the US, only a very limited number will be available at the screening so the best way to make sure you don't miss out is to pre-order <span style="font-weight: bold;">NOW</span>. Pre-ordered t-shirts will be available by June 23 to pick up at the screening or prior to the event by arrangement. Sizing for the t-shirts can be found below - please ensure you check your size (shown below in cm's) as there will be no returns available.<br /><br /><table style="width: 212px; border-collapse: collapse;

It's a long story I'd rather not go into but we're not giving up & will be back on course shortly. I'm anticipating that there will be lots to tell very soon.<br /><br />To keep you interested, I'm happy to announce that the Teaser posters have arrived from the US and they look fantastic! Details on how to purchase these items will be posted in the very near future . Priority will be given to those Browncoats who have already indicated their interest.<br /><br />Hang in there - big things are coming this way.

Hope everyone had a safe, fun & <span style="font-weight: bold;">shiny</span> holiday season. Just a quick update regarding the 2007 screenings for Can't Stop The Serenity. Planning is well underway both worldwide and locally. The '07 event will be even bigger & better than last year. If you would like to jump in & help do the impossible, have feedback about last years' event or would just like to say "Hi!", contact us at our shiny new email address:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">serenitymelbourne@gmail.com<br /></span></span><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Don't be shy, drop us a line and keep flying!</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span></div></div>Mad Doghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06789640632188153090noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26914725.post-1158494077095790502006-09-17T20:40:00.000+10:002006-11-13T20:22:36.131+11:00The Final Tally for CSTS Melbourne 2006Well, it's been a while. What can I say? Life got in the way. However, I've very happy to announce the final total for Melbourne's CSTS screening. Ready?<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:180%;">AUD $1603.00 / USD $1220!!!<br /></span><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Yep, we did the very difficult and that makes us pretty damn good. The donation on behalf of us (Old) Melbourne Browncoats was sent off to Equality Now back on 31/8/2006 after some (somewhat) lengthy delays sorting out the final details.<br /><br />I've since received a message from Equality Now which I'd like to share with you all:<br /><span style="font-style: italic;"></span><p style="margin-right: 0.51cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">... Your contribution will greatly help strengthen the work of Equality Now. Our campaigns to end all forms of violence and discrimination against women and girls, including trafficking and female genital mutilation, securing international world peace and security, and working with grassroots groups that work to bring justice and equality to women around the world will benefit from your thoughtfulness and generosity.</p> <p style="margin-right: 0.51cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"> Our work would not be possible without the extraordinary support of people like you. The Browncoats know that one person can make a difference, and the entire staff sends a heartfelt thanks to you and to all the Browncoats for your outstanding work. Keep flyin!</p> <p style="margin-right: 0.51cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"> Kind regards,</p> <p style="margin-right: 0.51cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"> </p> <p style="margin-right: 0.51cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"> Amanda Sullivan<br />Director, Womens Action Network</p><br /><p style="margin-right: 0.51cm; margin-bottom: 0cm;">Kinda humbling to think that just by having a night out at the movies & sharing our joy for all things Firefly could help make such a difference in the lives of others. Puts things in perspective, doesn't it?</p><p style="margin-right: 0.51cm; margin-bottom: 0cm;">Don't forget, the 1st anniversary of the general release of <span style="font-style: italic;">Serenity</span> is just around the corner - due the aforementioned life, no cinema screening has been organised for September 30 here in Melbourne but that doesn't mean we can't do something to celebrate. Why not have your own screening & invite someone (or lots of someones!) to share in <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/atthemovies/viewerspoll/">Australia's Favourite Film</a> experience. If you enjoyed <span style="font-style: italic;">Serenity</span>, tell everyone!<br /></p><p style="margin-right: 0.51cm; margin-bottom: 0cm;">Where to from here? Well, there will definitely be a CSTS Melbourne 2007 - you'll find all the info here next year. Until then, if you have a Firefly / Serenity event you want to share, drop me a line & I'll add it to the site.</p><br />Keep flying!<br />Mad Dog<br /><p style="margin-right: 0.51cm; margin-bottom: 0cm;"></p></div></div>Mad Doghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06789640632188153090noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26914725.post-1151074738746771342006-06-24T00:41:00.000+10:002006-11-13T20:22:36.014+11:00Thank you all - hope you enjoyed it!Hey everyone!<br /><br />Just wanted to say a Big Damn Thank You (again - yes, I know, I ramble!) to everyone who came along to tonights' screening of our favourite Big Damn Movie, <span style="font-style: italic;">Serenity</span>. All profits from this event will be donated to Equality Now on behalf of the Browncoats of Melbourne. Thank you all for your fantastic support.<br /><br />Extra special thanks go to all who helped run & promote tonights' event. I would name you all but I don't want to offend anyone by forgetting them. You know who you are and I'm extremely grateful for your help.<br /><br />Also, without goodies, this would be just another night at the movies. Ummm.... not just any night, but you know what I mean. So, here's a Big Damn Thanks to our sponsors:<br /><ul><li>Dramatix - thanks for putting up with all my questions & problems!<br /></li><li> The Hub Produtions - check out the upcoming events, it's worth it!<br /></li><li> DragonWeave Jewerly - shiny, shiny jewelry. Nice stuff!<br /></li><li> Tilk & The Crew of the Bellflower - Melbourne's own Firefly Fan Film Project</li><li> UIP Australia - thanks for the shiny mousemats!<br /></li></ul>Last but not least, big thanks to Emily, Brandon & the great staff of Hoyts Forest Hill Cinemas. Without them & you, the Browncoats of Melbourne, this event would not have happened.<br /><br />So, how much did we make? I'll let you all know once I've had some sleep & regain the ability to add and subtract again! Keep Flying!<br /><br />PS: If you couldn't make it tonight, our shiny <span style="font-style: italic;">Serenity</span> mousemats will be available for purchase for $5 (plus postage) via this website as soon as I can set it up. Again, all profits will go to Equality Now.

I don't have a credit card! How do I book tickets?"That's the question that's been asked by a few people, and as someone who didn't have a credit card until recently, I totally understand what you're going through. Unfortunately we're only selling tickets through Dramatix so my advice to you is.....*drumroll*<br /><br />Get someone with a credit card to buy you a ticket and then pay them back. I'm sure you know -someone- with a credit card that would be happy to help. (I already know of several people who are doing this).<br /><br />Your name doesn't have to be on the ticket, you just have to have the correct ticket code on the night, and since there's no booking fee you don't have to worry about your friend getting hit over the head with any hidden charges (by us at least, I'm not sure if there are any charges levied by the credit card company).<br /><br />Alternatively this might be the time for you to sign up for a debit or credit card of your own (no advertising here, just a suggestion!)<br /><br />If you absolutely, positively cannot purchase online, please contact us <span style="font-weight: bold;">ASAP</span> to make alternative arrangements. Please keep in mind that this is a volunteer operation and the reason for using the online ticketing is minimise costs (saving you money & raising more for EN), simplicity and accountability. <br /><br />Posting gratefully pinched from Kat @ <a href="http://www.serenityadelaide.blogspot.com">www.serenityadelaide.blogspot.com</a>.Mad Doghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06789640632188153090noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26914725.post-1150716320070109042006-06-19T21:07:00.000+10:002006-11-13T20:22:35.628+11:00Serenity takes off - No turning back now!Well, here's how it is. We've just gone live on Dramatix - if you have preordered tickets, your accounts will be charged very shortly at which point your tickets will be emailed to the contact email supplied with your order. All future ticket sales will now be processed immediately. If you still haven't ordered, please do so ASAP as there will be no door sales on the night.<br /><br />All ticket holders will receive a free <span style="font-style: italic;">Serenity</span> mousemat & will go into the draw for some shiny door prizes. Any extra mousemats will be available for purchase for $5 each. Don't forget to dress as your favourite character and bring along some some spare cashy money as we're also lining up some great items for auction - you might just pick up a bargain!<br /><br />If you'd like to meet some fellow Browncoats before the movie, check out the <a href="http://serenitymovie.com.au/viewforum.php?f=7">Serenity Oz forums</a> for details of a pre-movie shindig. Most of all, thank you all for your support but we're not done yet.

I'm waiting on confirmation of the availability of the venue and the movie print - without either, we don't have a screening. As soon as it's confirmed, I'll post the details straight away. This much I can say - the screening will be on June 23 around 9.00pm in Melbourne's eastern suburbs.<br /><br />Tickets will be available shortly after the venue is announced via this web site. All profits from the night will be donated to Equality Now as part of the <a href="http://www.cantstoptheserenity.com/">Can't Stop The Serenity</a> event. Although this is not an Australian charity, this organisation does good works all around the globe, especially where they are needed most.

As of today (24/4/2006), details regarding the venue, price & events on the night are yet to be confirmed. However, the date is set. There<span style="font-weight: bold;"> will</span> be a screening on June 23, 2006.<br /><br />If you wish to be involved in organising this event, please contact me (Mad Dog) via the email link in my profile. Any assistance would be appreciated 'cause if you can't run, you walk. If you can't walk, you crawl... and if you can't crawl, well, you know the rest (you find someone to carry you).<br /><br />One request though... if you are intending to attend the event, please advise your intent via email or the comments function, showing number of attendees & location (North, East, CDB, outer suburbs, etc) By providing this info, it will help with planning of location & facilities required. Sufficient info prior to the event will help the planning be much more effective, meaning the end result will be bigger fun for all!Mad Doghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06789640632188153090noreply@blogger.com0
