If you’ve been thinking about entering a design in the 2017 Serenity promotional art contest but didn’t think you had enough time then today is your lucky day! We’re extending the deadline to 13 March 2017 so you have another week to get your design down and send it in.

Remember, the Can’t Stop the Serenity logo is a critical part of the awareness raising campaign that’s done each and every year in support of local events held all over the world. Your design will feature on the website, on all our social media channels and on any t-shirts and promotional goods produced for the season.

We’ve seen what you guys can do so, we know Browncoats are among the most creative people in the ‘Verse so we’re excited to see what you guys can come up with. … Read more…

The auction is here.

Lots of people have seen Season One of Con Man but have you seen the extras? The Con Man DVD is full of them and that particular auction lot is worth winning for it along. But it also has a poster signed by Alan Tudyk and a Spectrum poster featuring James Raaker & Cash Wayne aka Jack Moore and Wray Nerely aka Nathan Fillion & Alan Tudyk. (Are you confused yet?)

Another Con Man collection includes Con Man Trading cards and a character sheet from Spectrum as well as a signed copy of PJ Haarsma’s SoftWire

But maybe you want to stick with Firefly. In that case, may we draw your attention to the Kaylee collection? The messenger bag is sturdy and matches the overalls that Kaylee wears on the accompanying action figure.… Read more…

These two groups are some of our favourites in the auction. We’ve paired this year’s stunning Tshirts with cunning hats and a big comfy Firefly pillow. The twist? Two of the hats and 2 of the Tshirts are for children!

But maybe you have a little one not quite old enough. Then this baby sling is for you! Woven especially for this purpose you’ll notice it is what Kaylee might use if she had a child. Patterned with strawberries and parasols and other Kaylee type images, this baby sling comes with instructions on how to use it.

There are only 5 days left in the auction.
Go bid!… Read more…

Our huge eBay auction is now live! You can find it here.

And just take a look at what we have! A member of the Pittsburgh CSTS gang was at San Diego Comic Con and went to the Dark Horse signing for the new Serenity comic. He got the poster signed and told Alan, Nathan and Joss that it was for CSTS, at which point he said Joss talked to him for several minutes about the CSTS event in Pittsburgh, said how much he appreciated what we do, grabbed a copy of Serenity: Those Left Behind off a pile at the table and signed it!

And now it could be yours. This is only one of many items we have in our auction. Go look.

Our big eBay auction starts on Monday but we just couldn’t wait so we’ve put one item up already! You can find it here. (http://www.ebay.com/sch/californiabrowncoats/m.html)

Georges Jeanty illustrated Serenity: Leaves on the Wind and this graphic novel collects all the issues in one place. That would be shiny enough but when he was asked to sign this for us, he went one step further and drew a picture in it. So the winner of this great title will also own an original Jeanty!

Because we put this one out early, it ends on Friday. But the rest of the auction starts on Monday and ends next Sunday. Money raised goes to support the important work done by Equality Now. We thank the California Browncoats for allowing us to once again hijack their eBay account for the CSTS auction.… Read more…

Due to changes at eBay we have to postpone our h-u-u-uge auction one week. It will now start Oct. 24 and end the 31st.

Once it goes live, we’ll post the URL but you will always be able to find it by searching for the California Browncoats who have been good enough to allow us to take over their eBay account.… Read more…

Sean Faust is a singer-songwriter in the alternative/ progressive rock genre from New Jersey that has been playing Can’t Stop the Serenity events since 2008. In 2012 he started the “Hero Of Canton Sing Along Challenge” where he plays the song live with as many people in attendance joining him on stage (or whatever the platform may be) to sing along!

In May of 2014 Sean released his single called “Signal” inspired by the movie Serenity and starting off where the show Firefly ended. From the beginning he has donated 50% of sales from that song to Equality Now on behalf of CSTS and happily continues to do so year after year. “They’re my favorite events of the year! It’s always a blast to meet new people or get to see friends again that I’ve made along the way.… Read more…

Browncoats are fans of many diverse things and our upcoming auction reflects that. This amazing collectible for instance. Who wouldn’t want a replica Thor Helmet signed not only by Chris Hemsworth but the one and only Stan Lee himself? Now that Stan is cutting down on his con appearances, it will get harder to acquire his autograph. And with the new Thor movie coming out next year, the winner of this helmet will be ready!

There is also a mystery auction item! In every Firefly LootCrate there is a QBit. Who is it? You’ll have to win it to know!

Every Fall we close out our CSTS year with a big auction but this year, we may have outdone ourselves!

We have hundreds of items from the fun collectibles to the very rare. How about the Serenity chopsticks that were available only if you had enough points on the Serenitymovie website?

Or a bracelet that says “Shiny?”

There are loads of great autographs and donations directly from some of our Big Damn Heroes. Stay tuned for date and time and be sure to share this with everyone you know. All proceeds go to support the wonderful work done by Equality Now.… Read more…
