Phoenix is currently in the first stages of planning for our 2009 event. I'm looking for donations of time, money, and skill. I will update this post with more details as they come in.

An update from the AZBrowncoats website:

Thanks JenskiJen! We just got this up yesterday and I haven't had time to properly post updates!

Actually, now that Free Comic Book Day is over, and I'm only a few details away from confirming our date and venue, it'd be better to wait for updated flyers, info included. Thanks!

The lastest from the CSTS Event Update:

The Arizona Browncoats are pulling out all the stops for CSTS Phoenix! This year, there will be two events, at 12:45pm and 4:30pm. All the fun takes place at MADCAP Theaters in Tempe. Both events will include a screening of Serenity along with Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, as well as a costume contest and raffle, so dress to impress! Tickets are $10, and will be available online through MADCAP Theaters or at the door. Proceeds will be donated to Equality Now, and Phoenix, $1 from every ticket sold will be returned to MADCAP Theaters, the new non-profit community theater hosting our event.
