Can’t Stop the Serenity Charity Screenings

Hey! Just wanted to let you all know that CSTS Melbourne has been able to access a special discount for parking for those planning to drive to the event on Sunday. Given the price of petrol, I wanted to help save you some extra cash so you’ll have more to spend / donate on our goodies!

The Kino Dendy Cinemas have a special offer for parking which is also available for CSTS patrons. You can park at COLLINS PLACE carpark, Flinders Lane (enter via Spring St) and receive a discount with your ticket - the first 2 hours of parking is absolutely free, after which it is only $2 per hour (max 6 hours). Present your parking ticket at the box office to receive your discount. Physical tickets will be issued at the event - we’ll have a table set up in the cinema foyer from 2.30pm for tickets / merch / etc.

In addition to raising funds for Equality Now, this year all the Australian and New Zealand CSTS screenings are having a “Browncoat Appeal” - an appeal for practical items to support our local community. If you’re coming & you can spare something extra, please bring one (or more if you like) of the following:

* Non-perishable foods in tins / jars

* Warm winter clothing eg Jumpers / Jackets / “Browncoats”, etc

* Blankets / Quilts

If you are donating clothes / blankets, please make sure they are either new or in good condition. This appeal is optional but all donations will be gratefully accepted. All donated items will be given to relief agencies on behalf of CSTS Melbourne.

Less than a week to go - don’t miss out, get your tickets now!

It’s taken a while but tickets and merch pre-orders are now available for CSTS Melbourne 2008!

Pre-order tickets are $12 via the Melbourne section of this website, door sales should be available for $15 however there’s no guarantees that we won’t sell out so make sure you get in quick to avoid disappointment!

Merchandise pre-orders are also available for 2008 Event T-Shirts (Mens’ style, S - XXL) @ $20 as well as 11′ X 17′ Event Posters ($15). We also have a very limited number of the famous QMX Serenity Money packs for sale at $20. All merch will be available for pickup at the event.

We’ve also got some other surprises in the pipeline for this year so be sure you don’t miss out!

Recently we had the opportunity to distribute fliers for the Melbourne screening at a couple of events, the “Evening with Christopher Judge” event held by Culture Shock and the Firefly/Serenity convention held by Hub Conventions.  We thank both of these events for allowing us to hand out our fliers.

We have a copy of the flier that you can download and distribute yourself to help spread the word.  Right click on the link below and select “save as” (may vary depending on browser) then simply print out the jpg file and hand out at will.
