Can’t Stop the Serenity 2009 Screenings

We are proud to announce the Four Can’t Stop the Serenity screenings in Southern California. Riverside is joining L.A., San Diego, and O.C. Woohoo! All the ticket purchasing and other details will be posted here shortly. For now, here are the dates and times for the screenings:

Los Angeles - Sunday June 14th at 10:00 AM at Laemmle’s Sunset 5
(Please note the change of location from last year and the matinee screening time.)

Orange County - Saturday June 20th at 9 PM at Starplex’s Woodbridge Movies 5

San Diego - Sunday June 21st (time and theater being finalized)

Riverside - Tuesday June 23rd at 7 PM at Ultrastar’s University Village 10

As a special bonus, we will be showing Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog at the Riverside screening! (If we can figure out a way to show it at the others, we will). We are also planning special live auctions, prize drawings and maybe even a costume contest or two.

As always, the CSTS screenings benefit Joss Whedon’s favorite charity, Equality Now. Come out to a screening (or more than one) and help us continue the Browncoat tradition of doing good works.

2009 Can’t Stop the Serenity Preliminary Report
June 24th, 2009

2009 SoCal CSTS is now history. We had a lot of fun, and raised a lot of money and awareness for Equality Now. I want to thank all of you that came out for the screenings, donated money, bid on auctions, and bought merchandise. Last night was the last event, in Riverside, and it was a huge success. We had 110 tickets sold, the largest crowd at any of our screenings.

Here’s the preliminary roundup on what we made at each screening. These numbers will change once we get all the final counts/expenses done.

Los Angeles - $1500 - 100 tickets sold
Orange County - $1000 - 67 tickets sold
San Diego - $2000 - 76 tickets sold
Riverside - $1700 - 110 tickets sold

That means we raised over $6000 for the year!

I have posted photos from just Los Angeles so far, but will get some up from all the screenings soon. I also posted video from last night of The Ballad of Serenity being played live, as well as the crowd singing Joss happy birthday.
