Edmonton Expo – Update

It’s a bit of a bad news, good news situation. This morning the Edmonton Expo team announced that Sean Mahar will be unable to attend the convention due to a filming commitment. While we’re sad we won’t be able to see Simon in Cap’t Mal’s home town, in Sean’s absence we will be blessed with the smiling presence of Kaylee herself, Jewel Staite.

We hope to see you at our Alberta Browncoats booth at the Edmonton Comic & Entertainment Expo (October  20-21, 2012). Purchases at our booth raise funds for Equality Now, Kids Need to Read, and Edmonton’s Youth Empowerment and Support Services.

Can’t make the Edmonton Expo? We’ll be at the Pure Speculation Festival (November 17-18).

Today is the 10th anniversary of the debut of Firefly; our first exposure to a shiny new ‘verse.  Despite episodes being shown out of order with air dates and times as changeable as the wind, the show was beloved by many. Firefly’s active fan-base, affectionately known as Browncoats, successfully campaigned for a big damn movie (post cancellation – whaaa!) and have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity over the years.

How will you celebrate the anniversary?

Sept 29, 2012 screening of “The Guild” (seasons 1-5)

Thanks to the generosity of Felicia Day, the Geek and Sundry* team, and Happy Harbor Comics, we will be hosting an all day (seasons 1-5) “The Guild” screening event on September 29, 2012 beginning at 10:30 am.

This screening is a Can’t Stop the Serenity (CSTS) affiliate event. Happy Harbor Comics (10729-104 Ave) has donated space for the screening.

Admission is by cashy money donation. Throw a few loonies or twoonies (or more!) into the donation bin when you stop by to watch the screening. In addition, we will have a few silent auction items and door prizes on hand for those in attendance. Proceeds will be split between our charity partners; Equality Now and YESS.org.

UPDATE [Aug 31, 2012]: Let’s take this fundraiser to the next level!  YESS is in urgent needs for a number of items for their shelter. As well as collecting cashy monies on Sept 29th, we’ll be collecting “in kind” donations.

Visit http://yess.org/get-involved/in-kind-donation/ to find a list of desperately needed items.  The page also contains a list of items that they cannot accept at this time. Please take time out of your busy day to look over the list to see if there is anything you may want to bring in.

Can’t stay all day? Pop in and watch an episode or one to two seasons. Everyone is welcome to drop by to say hello.

* Geek & Sundry is the new home of “The Guild” and other fab content such as “Flog” (Felicia’s video blog), “Tabletop” (Wil Wheaton’s tabletop gaming show) and “Sword & Laser” (a Scifi/Fantasy book club).
