We Want You!
We’re counting down to our big Can’t Stop the Serenity shindig on 27th August but we need your help. We’re putting together a street team to help spread the signal wider than ever before, so if you’d like to help us promote CSTS, come to the meeting:
When: 7.30pm Wednesday 13th July
Where: Melbourne Lion Hotel (at Melbourne Central)
We have some ideas for online and in store promotion but would love to brainstorm new and creative ways to get the word out.
You all know how awesome watching Serenity with Browncoats are so help us sell out and make this our biggest year yet!
And if you’d like to help out in any other capacity, we’d love your help too, so join us on Wednesday!
Guildies are in for a treat on Saturday 16 July – CSTS Melbourne’s second sensational shindig will feature The Guild!
Starring Felicia Day (aka Queen of the Interwebs), The web series revolves around the lives of an online guild, The Knights of Good, who play countless hours of an unnamed MMORPG video game. The story focuses on Codex, the guild’s Priestess, who attempts to lead a normal life after one of her guild-mates, Warlock Zaboo (Sandeep Parikh), shows up on her doorstep. Joss Whedon credits The Guild as one of the inspirations for Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, which also starred Felicia Day.
So join us at Loop Bar (23 Meyers Lane, Melbourne) from 5pm. Tickets are $10 and will be available at the door. All proceeds will be donated to Equality Now.
First off, a wonderful thank you to everyone who attended our recent Dr Horrible’s Sing-along Blog Sing-along event at the Oxford Scholar.
We are extremely sad that the Evil League of Evil managed to prevent us from showing Commentary! The Musical, and we’re very thankful that everyone was so understanding. Blast the E.L.E!! *shakes fist*
But we have good news! We’ve received word that Captain Hammer will be using his influence to make sure things go to plan for our final CSTS event on 2 October. His minions have convinced our wonderful venue to waive their usual hire charge, so every single cent raised at our next event will go to charity! All hail Captain Hammer!! Plus, folks who show their tickets from our E.L.E. disrupted Dr Horrible event will receive a $5 discount on admission to our last CSTS event for 2010.
Since we didn’t get to share Commentary! The Musical with you all, we’ll be shaking up the plan for our “CSTS Meets The Guild” event. Instead of screening The Guild Season 1 and 2, we’ll be starting off with Commentary! The Musical. This leads perfectly into our screening of The Guild Season 1 (trust me, it’s the perfect seque).
Tickets to CSTS Meets The Guild are just $10 (or $5 on presentation of your ticket to the Dr Horrible event on September 18). They will be available at the Oxford Scholar Hotel from 2pm on 2 October (cash only).
See you there!!
Join us as we celebrate Joss Whedon’s Emmy Award Winning internet sensation, Dr Horrible’s Sing-along Blog!
Starring Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion and Felicia Day, Dr Horrible tells the story of a low-rent super-villain, the hero who keeps beating him up, and the cute girl from the laundromat he’s too shy to talk to.
We will also be screening Commentary! The Musical!, a full-length commentary track that is a completely original musical in its own right. Redefining post-modernism, Commentary! is a fun, behind-the-scenes glimpse of the production, heavily laced with inside jokes set to music very nearly as good as that in the actual production. It’s not to be missed!

Experience Dr Horrible's "Commentary! The Musical" & The Guild on 30 October 2010
We’re wrapping up Can’t Stop the Serenity 2010 with some very special Joss-y fun and Felicia Day’s hit web-series, The Guild, about a group of online gamers.
Cyd Serman (Felicia Day) is an online gamer, who goes by the name Codex. Her own therapist has dumped her, telling her she spends way too much time online. But when an online friend shows up at her door, mistaking cyber flirting for the real thing, Codex decides to enlist the help of the Guild. And gets them to all meet in the real world.
“The Guild” is a fast and funny web series that is enjoyable for more than just gamers. Anyone who spends a little too much time online will be able to relate in some ways, and enjoy the wacky and sometimes self-deprecating humor throughout. We will be screening Season 1.
We will also be screening Commentary! The Musical!, a full-length commentary track that is a completely original musical in its own right. Redefining post-modernism, Commentary! is a fun, behind-the-scenes glimpse of the production, heavily laced with inside jokes set to music very nearly as good as that in the actual production. It’s not to be missed!
