AVENGERS ASSEMBLE! WITH COSTUMES!
I'm sure by now that most, if not all, of you have seen the biggest blockbuster movie of the year - which is piling up more records as we speak. If you haven't, why not?? It's a Joss Whedon film. It says so right in the credits - and it's oh so sweet to see. It's also a damn fine movie. Combined with The Cabin in the Woods, Joss has had two movies in the top 10 for two weeks! And Joss being the person he is, he wrote a thank you letter to his fans on Whedonesque. If you haven't read it, it's here You might want to read some of the 440+ comments - and comment yourself if you're a member. (Whedonesque membership was opened yesterday.) My favourite line? If you think topping a box office record compares with someone telling
you your work helped them through a rough time, you're probably new
here.
So now that you've seen his two new movies - possibly multiple times - it's time to gear up to see his first movie, Serenity. It didn't make the box office splash we were all hoping for, but it still lives on in our hearts - and every year in Can't Stop The Serenity.
Since there's just four weeks (from yesterday) to go before the big event, now's the time to start thinking of your costume. This year's contest will be a bit different. There will still be one prize for the best Firefly/Serenity costume, but 2012 deserves a whole new category, to wit: SuperPowers! If you could have any superpower(s), what would it be? Would you fit in with the Avengers? or would you be more likely to apply to the Evil League of Evil? Whatever your superpower, come up with an original costume to match (ie not one of Marvel's characters) and be prepared to tell the judges your Super name, superpower and how you would use that - for good or for evil! Assemble in the Whittick Lounge on June 9th at 10:30 am to display your talents - or at least your costume. There will be a parade of costumes on stage later in the day. Judges will be looking for originality and creativity in both costumes and superpowers. Good luck and I look forward to seeing what new members might be joining the Avengers ( or the ELE).

Online Trivia Quiz - Quote #10
Here's the final quote - and it's an easy one to end with. I hope everyone has enjoyed playing along. Remember to e-mail the answers (person speaking and the episode) to all 10 questions by midnight (Pacific time) tonight to: cstsvancouver@gmail.com. The winner will be drawn/announced Saturday morning during introductory remarks.
"I don't think of myself as a lion."
Good luck. And just because it's my favourite quote - here's one from the movie:
"Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse... but you take a boat in the air that you don't love... she'll shake you off just as sure as the turn of the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she ought to fall down... tells you she's hurting before she keens. Makes her a home. "

Costume Contest Details
Which Firefly/Serenity character do you see yourself as? Mal? Inara? River? Kaylee? Shepherd Book? Maybe you like to wear Hawaiian shirts and play with dinosaurs. Maybe you like to wear a 'cunning' hat and carry a gun named Vera. Perhaps a very proper doctor is more your style. Or do you look good in a 'slinky' dress? Whatever your preference, why not attend this year's CSTS Vancouver in costume? There are two categories: any character from Firefly or Serenity (is a lovebot your style?) or a character from any of Whedon's other shows: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog or Dollhouse.
If you want to be judged in the costume contest, we ask that you arrive at the Space Centre between 10:15 and 10:30 and proceed to the Ray Whittick Lounge. (There will be signs.) Once there you will pose for the judges and our official photographer. All contestants will then do a parade onto the stage just after 1 pm where the prizes will be awarded.
Let your imagination run wild - but not too wild. Remember this is a family event, so no Echo as a dominatrix, please. :)

Online Trivia Quiz
So who here is a Firefly fan? Have you watched so many times you know all the words - or think you do? Then here's a contest for you!
Every couple of days until just before CSTS, I will post a quotation on the blog. Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to name the person speaking and the episode. There will be 10 questions, so not all the episodes will be represented. After the last question, e-mail your 10 answers to CSTSVancouver@gmail.com by midnight (Pacific time) June 23rd. If there are multiple correct answers, one name will be drawn at CSTS and a shiny prize will be awarded. You do not have to be present to win, but you will get your prize more quickly.
Let's start out with an easy one, shall we?
"When you can't run, you crawl. And when you can't crawl, when you can't do that..."
Remember, name the character and episode and only send the answers at the end of the contest.

COSTUME CONTEST DETAILS
Since we are doing things a little bit differently this year, the costume contest needs its own post. (The Schedule will be up in a couple of days.)
We're asking anyone who wants to take part in the costume contest to arrive early (doors open at 10:30) and follow the signs to the Ray Whittick Lounge. You will then have your picture taken by the official photographer and the three judges will rate your costume based on a point system which will take into account creativity, originality, craftmanship, relation to the category and overall impression. Judging will take place between 10:30 and 11:00 so that everyone can join the festivities when they start.
The two categories are: Firefly/Serenity 'verse and the greater Whedonverse.
At about 12:40, there will be a parade of contestants to the stage, where everyone can admire the wonderful array of costumes, and the prizes will be awarded.
Good luck to everyone!

More Exciting Items for the Auction!
Are you one of the people who was bidding on Greg Edmonson's signed Firefly soundtrack CD last year and lost out when it went for $75!! Good news, not only did Greg sign and donate another one this year, but he also signed and donated a CD of his soundtrack to the Uncharted 2 video game, which recently won a BAFTA award!
Other items which have come in over the past couple of days include a 14" radio-controlled Dalek from Dr. Who; an Empress of the Racnoss action figure also from Dr. Who, donated by Comic Land; a Kevin Smith Inaction Figure, donated by Scott, and signed CDs from Paul and Storm, one of Wil Wheaton's favourite geek bands, along with an appropriate T-shirt.
If you ever wanted one of Adam Levermore (aka lexigeek's) original design maquettes, now's your chance. Quantum Mechanix only made 1500 of the Kaylee Maquettes, and they are sold out, but we have one, thanks to a generous donation from RX Comics.
We also have a $50 gift card from Windsor Plywood and a $100 gift card from Cibo Trattoria restaurant.
Again this year, Academie Duello has given us two gift certificates to enroll in one of their courses. This time each gift certificate is for two people, so bring your mother, father, sister, brother, partner, or friend and learn to sword fight!
If you don't have your ticket, you will be kicking yourself for missing out on all these wonderful donations. Don't forget to bring lots of cash with you, as that is the only thing we accept - and remember that it all goes to two very worthwhile charities, so it's win-win - you help women in BC and all over the world have better and healthier lives - and you end up with a special item - or two or three! - to cherish for a long time. Tickets are still available at Happy Bats Cinema (2830 Main Street) and by PayPal by clicking on the "Add to Cart" button at the bottom of this page.
Details of the costume contest will be posted shortly and the schedule of events will be up early next week.
