Greets, all. Just realized it's been a while since I'd updated the FFF.net gang on where we stand with the CSTS 2007 events... and believe me, they are full-fledged events.
There are 42 confirmed event locations in eight countries. (There are nine more locations still ironing out details. That makes 51 total markets. Hello, goal number one.) Tickets are on sale in 16 of those cities right now. You can find the Big Damn List on the front page of http://CantStopTheSerenity.com.
Quite a few of the markets are also taking pre-orders for the excellent t-shirts and posters for the 2007 events, designed by LexiGeek.com guru Adam Levermore-Rich. Even if you're not going to be coming to a CSTS event, get one of these great pieces of CSTS memorabilia. (You can always brag to your friends you went to an event somewhere in the world. Maybe Australia. We won't snitch you out.)
Attendees will have the chance to pick up some great door prizes, including a copy of the upcoming 'Serenity: Special Edition' DVD from Universal Home Entertainment and Serenity Found from BenBella Books -- months before they're available for sale. Also, someone who attends a CSTS event will be winning a cabin for two on the Browncoat Cruise in December 2007. There's one qualifying winner from each city holding an event, with the winner being drawn by BCC staffers on 2 July 2007. (Details on the http://cantstoptheserenity.com/faq.html FAQ page of CSTS.com).
All in all, it's going to be a great series of events, all benefiting Equality Now (Joss Whedon's charity of choice). If you have the means, I highly recommend you head to your closest event and join in the biggest shindig of the year.

Very glad you posted this. I'm always looking for Firefly events in my state. So glad to see one coming up in Tampa in June. And hey, the wife and I will be kidless that weekend, so yay.

How do these things normally work? Are you expected to donate money that night, or does some of your ticket price go to the charity?

Last year, it varied from city to city. Your best beet, as always, is to contact a particular city's organizers if you want to know how they're doing it.
