Three cities holding CSTS Charity Screenings this week.
Have fun in Lawrence, KS 6/16, Boston, MA 6/18 & 6/19 and Albuquerque, NM 6/19.
First year for Lawrence, KS! Whoo-hoo! Lawrence is screening Serenity and Browncoats: Redemption.
Boston is having a Dr. Horrible with Shadowcast and Commentary! on Friday and screening Serenity on Saturday. There is a Costume Contest sometime...
Albuquerque is having a Costume Contest too and showing Serenity twice in one day.

I went to the Norfolk, VA CSTS screening as a first-timer to CSTS and while I missed out on seeing Dr. Horrible on the big screen (pesky graduation ceremony, hah), I did have the pleasure of watching Serenity.
What an amazing time - it was perfect and the only bad thing is that it's over now and I'm too impatient to wait a year.

I think of it like this. Movie studios have a limited amount of storage space. So when a movie is out for several years, they have a standard practice of keeping only a small number of reels and destroying the rest. Universal, as B!x said, had set up explicit instructions to keep enough reels for the charity screenings. Somebody ignored those explicit instructions and went through the normal destroying reels process...so now there are only a few reels in every country. For example, Canada shared film reels with USA last year.
So DVD screenings are happening and remaining film reels are being shipped to one theater and then to the next theater etc and then returned to Universal.
B!x's idea in the beginning was to have mass screenings all on the same day. That is harder especially with so few film reels.

Only Northern VA (NoVA) does -- because we get TWO days in a row of CSTS - Friday night & Saturday afternoon. Next weekend. I'll be there.
