Mark Saturday, June 9th on your calendars for CSTS Vancouver 2012, to be held at the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre. Due to scheduling conflicts, our event will be held two weeks earlier than usual this year, so planning has already started. If you would like to be involved as a donor, sponsor, volunteer or helping to organise, you can e-mail us at cstsvancouver [at] gmail [dot] com, or leave a comment here or on Twitter or our Facebook page.
Please check out the video at the right to hear some of the actions that we have helped make possible through our contributions to Equality Now. EN is turning 20 this year, so let's do our part in making this their most successful year ever!
In addition to supporting Equality Now, part of our proceeds continue to go to BC Women's Hospital and Health Centre Foundation and this year we will also be contributing to the Avalon Women's Centres in Vancouver.

CSTS 2012 PLANNING HAS BEGUN!
This year's Global Team has begun planning early - and so have we. (Look for an announcement on the date coming in the next few weeks!)
The contest for the artwork to represent CSTS 2012 is now open for voting. Voting is open to anyone who is a member of the CSTS forums - you don't have to be an organiser or even on the committee; you just have to register. When you're voting, please keep in mind what the artwork will look like on a t-shirt (would you want to wear it?); whether you think it will catch the eye of people who may not know about CSTS and make them curious enough to explore further; and how well local event information will fit on the poster without losing the essence of the poster.Contest ends at 11:59 pm PST, on November 1st. You can only vote once so think about it and then vote before the deadline and we will have lovely shiny t-shirts to order early next year!
In the meantime, while you're waiting for further news, check out more webseries: the very funny Husbands, by Whedon writer Jane Espenson ("Shindig") and Brad Bell/Cheeks about two men who wake up married in Las Vegas after celebrating the Marriage Equality bill. (Obviously set slightly in the future.) It is a very romantic - and funny - love story in 11 episodes, at least for season one. It's not graphic and there is no nudity but there are some displays of affection, of course, as there would be in any true romance.
For action fantasy, try Dragon Age: Redemption, written and starring Felicia Day (Buffy, Dr. Horrible,The Guild). It has just launched (second episode was posted this week). If you are a gamer, the game is out now, also 'starring' Felicia Day.

Joss Whedon Panel at Comic-Con 2011
For those of you who weren't able to see Joss live at Comic-Con, here is the video of his panel. It's Joss at his best: funny, serious, and answering questions - most of which were thoughtful. When he is asked about strong women characters, I'm afraid my friends and I (sitting in the front row) laughed very loudly and it was one of my friends who yelled out "YouTube", which Joss then carried on with.

Less than 5 Hours to Bid!
Less than five hours left to bid on the Once More With Feeling songbook, signed by Sarah Michelle Gellar, on eBay. Remember, all the money is going to our two beneficiaries, Equality Now and BC Women's Hospital & Health Centre Foundation. Only a few more dollars and we can reach our goal of $5,000 raised this year!
