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.

We’re in the home straight of this year’s Can’t Stop the Serenity, and we’re super excited to announce that we’ve raised $7,500 for Equality Now.

Wait… what was that? How much??

SEVEN THOUSAND AND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS!!!

We’re got some cashy money to be finalised from the Dr Horrible event, and we’ve still got one more event to go, so we’re not finished yet! So bring your friends to our final event and let’s see if we can hit the 8k mark!

This is an incredible achievement, and we’re so glad to have your support this year. We couldn’t do it without you!!! THANK YOU!!!

Oh noes! Dr Horrible strikes again! :(

Sep 212010

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!!

Are you ready to have a Dr Horrible day today for charity?

Can't Stop the Serenity, Charity Activities, Events
Sep 182010

It’s time to have a horrible day, all thanks to Dr Horrible himself!

TODAY – Saturday 18 September 2010 –
2:30-4:30pm (doors open at 2:00pm)
Oxford Scholar Hotel
427 Swanston Street, Melbourne (opposite RMIT)
This is an all ages event

Tickets are just $10, available at the door (cash only).

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!
