Hi Browncoats!
Today marks the Second Anniversary of our Incorporation as a Non-Profit Corporation in the State of Texas. On July 17th, 2007, we started down the path to try to save the world, one shindig at a time. I’m not sure any of us knew where we were headed, but I am certain that all of us Austin Browncoats are excited to see our progress over these last two years! Read more

In an article at CNN.com regaling the activism of a Harry Potter fan group called the “Harry Potter Alliance”, Can’t Stop the Serenity was listed as an example of “Science fiction and fantasy aficionados [who] have translated their fandom into real-world action.”

Geekstravaganza 2009 was, and always will be, a night to remember. It was our first time hosting an event at Buffalo Billiards, and it most definitely will not be our last time. There are so many people we’d like to thank for their support and help in making Geekstravaganza a success – you know who you are!
First off, Buffalo Billiards – thank you for allowing us to use your venue at such a discounted rate. We are truly inspired by your generosity and cool, laid-back style of running your venue.
Marian Call – you are an Angel on the stage. It must be hard when you’re traveling cross-country and performing almost every night, but you are a true pro at such a young age. And thank you for singing Happy Birthday to our Vice-Chair, Ryan Campbell.
Ryan Campbell, Chairman of the Geekstravaganza Committee – you put this event together on a shoestring budget and kept cool in the process, knowing the next day, you were leaving for Basic Training. We’re so proud of you and everything you accomplished with Geekstravaganza.
To Our Sponsors: Alamo Drafthouse, Funimation, Fan Done, Titan Comics, Dragon’s Lair, Capstone Comics and The Simplifiers – you allowed us to give away the shiniest prizes for all of our events and raffle. You made it possible to give everyone the opportunity to take something shiny home. We are so grateful to have sponsors who are continually willing to go above and beyond for us. Read more

Austin’s Can’t Stop the Serenity 2009 was a great success. All three showings were sold out, and many Browncoats and others showed up to support Equality Now and Kids Need to Read while enjoying the Big Damn Movie on the big screen once again.
Though we are still working on the final figures, it is looking like our total raised will be over $19,000. You heard us… $19,000! We are extremely excited about this outcome and will have the final totals very soon. Thank you to everyone who helped make this year’s Austin CSTS so amazing!
