Congratz everyone! I can't think of a more deserving charity. Here's 5 more big pat's on the back for you all :)

Teacherdarling | July 11, 19:43 CET

Awesome. Very proud to have been a (very) small part of this once again. Thanks to everyone involved with organizing, both on the local and global levels. You guys did a great job.

JesterInACast | July 11, 20:21 CET

Excellent stuff. Joss' auction for Equality Now is currently at $45k, in anybody is interested.

Whoo-hoo! Dances in cubicle.

Eden | July 11, 20:45 CET

I love this charity so much! I'm already stoked about next year's event and am already lining up people to come.

Thanks to everyone that participated and helped organized.

LmR | July 11, 20:47 CET

Shh, Eden, b!x's head might explode. He already has amnesia.

And yeah, gossi! Joss' auction $45k!

Anonymous1 | July 11, 20:48 CET

Doing the impossible is becoming a regular thing for Browncoats. ;)
This is an awesomely shiny accomplishment!

Traevynn | July 11, 20:48 CET

My head won't explode, at this juncture.

theonetruebix | July 11, 20:49 CET

Congratulations to all those who worked so hard to pull this off! It makes me proud to be part of the Whedon verse!

Zannadoo | July 11, 21:11 CET

Since I'm leery of self-linking, I just wanted to point folks over to this thread at Firefly Fans.net, which talks about what's next.

justdevin | July 11, 21:13 CET

What an incredible achievement! Awesome effort to the folks involved.

Madhatter | July 11, 21:13 CET

Thats really cool! Kudos to everyone involved.

Kessie | July 11, 21:31 CET

Since I'm leery of self-linking, I just wanted to point folks over to this thread at Firefly Fans.net, which talks about what's next.

Some of which (like there won't actually be things like design decisions until there is a 2008 coordinator) we'll be talking about very shortly, here and elsewhere. Like there. And maybe places in between somewhere.

Big congratulations to everyone involved. You guys are fantastic!

newcj | July 11, 21:43 CET

Ladies and gentlemen, or strong women and gentle men, you are awesome!

Pointy | July 11, 22:47 CET

Awesomeness! Congrats to all! this was my first CSTS and I loved it. I'm hoping to participate more next year!

ladygrey | July 11, 22:48 CET

This just gives me a giant case of the warm and fuzzies :) I am so proud of Browncoats.

Thank you! Merci! Danke schon! Grazie! Xie xie! Etc.!!! to the volunteer browncoats who worked their bums off organizing and promoting CSTS. I know I had a great time, and it was all the fantastic-er knowing I was sharing the experience with thousands of Browncoats who were together raising tons of money for Equality Now.

ThereUR | July 11, 23:03 CET

b!X, what are you talking about? Your head is always exploding on the PDX Browncoats forum. Maybe you don't have any more heads left to explode.

electricspacegirl | July 11, 23:31 CET

I meant on this particular point.

theonetruebix | July 11, 23:44 CET

It's great - it's wonderful - it's fantastic!

And I'm all for singing another round of "Happy Birthday," but I'm STILL not lighting 100,000+ candles for the cake! That would just be over the top.

mockingbird | July 12, 00:14 CET

So. Very. Proud. Of everyone involved in CSTS, and to be a part of this generous Fan Club.

QuoterGal | July 12, 00:50 CET

That's a Big Damn Result. Well done to all involved.

Craig Oxbrow | July 12, 01:42 CET

Awesome job!

Nebula1400 | July 12, 02:14 CET

This is great -- and can only get better. I know of at least one screening currently scheduled for September (Ann Arbor) and I'm wondering how many other non-prime-time screenings will pop up later.

(Of course I'm assuming the A2 screening is part of CStS since I haven't seen anything about it on the CStS site yet.)

((And of course the minute I post this someone will pop up and say they just added it last week or something...))

cabri | July 12, 05:37 CET

Wow-- that's great!

Sunfire | July 12, 06:04 CET

Amount Raised In 2007 To Date: $106,017.83 (USD est).

theonetruebix | July 12, 07:42 CET

Congratulations to everyone involved in this!

Ameer | July 12, 09:38 CET

Congratulations to all the hard working folks who did this.
Job well done!

FollowMal | July 12, 10:05 CET

Feels great to have had a tiny, tiny part (just one of many who attended screenings) in this worthy effort! AND it was fun!

Maeve | July 12, 15:18 CET

Congratulations on an job very well done!

And thanks to all those that put in all of the hard work to make this year's screenings a success!

Mycroft | July 12, 15:34 CET

Hmmmm a goal for 2008...raise that total donation amount and lower the amount of head explosions. The first is doable, the second...

Roseivy | July 12, 19:47 CET

Congratulations to Devin and all the CSTS cities! It's truly remarkable what Browncoats can accomplish.

BrianDTI | July 12, 21:27 CET

I care deeply about the issues that EN and like-minded organizations do, and I tend to show my support very privately with donations. Easy and painless, and let's me feel relatively good about myself while concentrating my energies on work and parties and other trivial things.

I just spent some time looking at the CSTS web page and some of the stuff that was linked from there, and I just wanted to say that I love you guys for doing all this. You rock, really!

Karenina | July 12, 21:45 CET

Congratulations to everyone who was involved! You all did a wonderful job on this. :)
