The weekend of Sept. 13-14 sees a wide assortment of CSTS events. Montreal is back with its first event since 2006 and it promises to be worth the wait! It is happening within Montreal Comic-Con so if you weren’t going to attend, you might want to think again! Tickets are only $10.00 to get in CSTS Montreal but you do need to be attending Montreal Comic Con already. There will be a showing of Serenity, a costume contest, prizes for trivia, an auction, Dr. Horrible’s Singalong Blog and a few special things for sale.
The Beeston Browncoats can always be counted on to run a fun Affiliate event.This year they even have their event on the same day that SyFYUK is showing Serenity. Coincidence? Maybe. Or maybe SyFyUK recognizes the perfect time to show the film!
There will be live music from Nottingham Singer/Songwriter Adam Peter Smith and Sword Dancing from local all woman dance troupe Whip the Cat, a BBQ, Cake Stall, lots of sci-fi merchandise up for grabs through tombola, and a raffle with great prizes.
New event city Aberdeen is offering a meal and 2 movies. Done the Impossible and Dr. Horrible will be accompanied by a great meal which is included in your ticket. Then there will be a pub quiz and a raffle draw as well as some very shiny merchandise for sale. Aberdeen got so many wonderful items, they have even added an auction! Go support this new event city!
The last event of the weekend is in Arcata California where the Humboldt Browncoats are running their 2nd CSTS event. While Serenity will be the showpiece, the evening will also feature some excellent trivia (How’s your Chinese?), a costume parade, and a raffle with many shiny prizes. How shiny? Take a look.
Hey, great to see so much happening this weekend!!
We’d like to announce that this will be our last ever CSTS as the Beeston Browncoats 🙁 We’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has supported us in the past, you know who you are as there are too many to mention!
But this is not bad news!!
Next year we will be amalgamating with the Leicester Browncoats and Derby Browncoats and by our forces combined will be the East Midlands Browncoats (we will still all be individual chapters doing our own events in the future too though, so we’re now disappearing into one huge Alliance 😉
By combining our strengths we hope to do something really special for CSTSX (our catchphrase for the 10th anniversary CSTS)!!
So while our CSTS for this year hasn’t even simmered, boiled and cooled, we are already planning a huge shindig for next year!
