… Brisbane Can’t Stop the Serenity organiser Andrew Lunt says the international event is held on or about Whedon’s birthday. “In the past two years, these events have raised a total of over $US160,000 US for Equality Now. Our aim this year is to achieve $150,000 for the charity, with screenings held in more than 50 cities worldwide.

“This is the first year that a CSTS event has been run in Brisbane. We have been very lucky that Alan is making an appearance at Gen Con Oz on the weekend of the event ? Browncoats are flying in interstate to see him, and scheduling to get to the CSTS screening before they head out again.”

“Alan isn’t going to be able to make it out to the CSTS screening ? he has to fly back Sunday afternoon. But apparently he’ll autograph some stuff for us to put up as prizes in the raffle, which is a great compromise.”

…Brisbane’s Can’t Stop the Serenity event will be held at the Eldorado Cinema in Indooroopilly on Sunday July 6 at 6.45pm.
