Tickets are limited, so it’s best not to wait until the day (when they’ll be $20). Please remember to print out and bring your tickets with you on the day, it just makes getting everyone into the venue that bit easier.
For details on where and when, see the event post.
Don’t forget Thursday is Firefly rewatch night!
We’re up to Ariel and Out Of Gas, so break out the DVD, grab a pizza, get online and watch with us, if you can’t make it to this week’s venue. If you would like to come along to the designated venue, log on to the forum and PM this week’s host for details.
You’re invited to join your fellow Browncoats, Whedonites and assorted geeks to celebrate the end of another year on Saturday 4 December.
We’ll be meeting at 12pm in the courtyard of the Melbourne Observatory, near the cafe at the Royal Botanical Gardens (Google Map)
Bring a picnic lunch or grab a bite from the cafe!
It’s super short notice, but we hope you’ll be able to make it!
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!!!
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!!
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!

Bloody good show as Buffy creator slays ‘em in the aisles
The Australian, 4 September 2010
Emma Tom talks Joss Whedon’s appearances at the Melbourne Town Hall and the Sydney Opera House for The Australian.
If television is a religion, then Joss Whedon is its god. Not a particularly physically imposing god (the American creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel and Firefly is a small and imperfectly formed ranga). But a deity nonetheless.
Whedon creates worlds and fills them with extraordinary, flawed beings.
He leaves trails of holy texts, sacred languages and exotic fetish objects.
And yea verily do his devotees prostrate themselves at his feet crying: “We are not worthy” and sometimes also: “But must thou smite quite so many of our favourite characters?”
Whedon, whose earthly miracles include an unholy blurring of the lines between high and low culture, has just made a pilgrimage to Australia to sermonise from the mounts of the Melbourne Writers Festival and the Sydney Opera House concert hall.
Both gatherings were sold out and prompted rapturous nerdgasms from his devoted disciples. “How does it feel to be god?” media academic Sue Turnbull asked him in Melbourne.
“Awkward,” Whedon replied, “because I don’t believe in me.”
