If possible, please purchase tickets via our online ordering system before June 19th. Tickets will be available at the venue, but they will be $12 instead of the presale price of $10. We realize some of you folk may be waiting to buy in person to avoid the PayPal fee, and that is very noble of you, however in order to get everything organized and in line, it really helps to have as much of an idea of how many to expect as possible to this shindig.
To purchase tickets, please go to http://www.cantstoptheserenitydesmoines.com
We will also have some great door prize and weighted auction pieces, as well as our qualifiers for the big national prizes, including a trip to Los Angeles in November for the big Serenity-based fan convention.
Shiny!

Can't Stop the Serenity NOT AFFECTED by flooding.
Fleur Drive is open again, so it shouldn't be terribly difficult to get to the theatre.
At this point, NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, we're still having the event!
Our after-party site is also doing well and has not been affected by the flooding.
See you on Saturday!

Coffee (and containers to hold these)
Condiments (Ketchup, BBQ sauce, mustard, etc)
At least a couple different kinds of casserole
Chips and dip
Cookies
Dessert foods

Anonymous commenting enabled; donate to CSTS!
I just recently realized that anonymous commenting was disabled. I'm so sorry! This has been reactivated, so you can post comments here now.
Also, if you can't make it to Iowa's CSTS event but still want to help out (or if you are coming and want to help out even more), you can now donate to Can't Stop the Serenity: Des Moines!
There will be a list of what we need (food-wise) for the potluck at the after-party, later tonight.
Thanks, and keep flyin'!

Tickets available soon!
Don't worry, the links for ordering will be up VERY SHORTLY.
Also, we have a confirmed site for our after-party! Ewing North Open Shelter House, at 5300 Indianola Rd, is a gorgeous area that will provide us with a great space to hold the after-party, eat food, and play games.
We ARE planning on having a Potluck Lunch, and we need your help! We need to know who can bring food: what kind, how much, things of that sort. We're anticipating anywhere from 150-200 guests this year, so we'd like to have as many people as possible helping out! Please comment here if you're interested in providing food for the event.

T-Shirts available for Pre-Order! (+ poster & ticket info)
You can order t-shirts now, but you'll have to pick them up at the event! We'll have your name on a list.
Ordering link
T-shirts are in limited supply, so hurry if you want one! They're $15 each, but will be $20 at the event (if there are any left!) We might be able to order more t-shirts, but only if it looks like we'll sell out quickly and will need a lot more.
Note: Posters will ONLY be available at the event. We only have 20, so get there early!
The link will also take you to the ticket ordering site. Remember, tickets are $10 (plus $1 for shipping/handling/paypal fee). If you wait until the event, tickets will be $12.
The note on the website is wrong; tickets will (hopefully) be shipped by May 31st. Again, May 31st is our goal to get pre-ordered tickets sent out; if anything changes, it'll be posted here. If you order tickets after May 31st, you'll need to pick them up at the door. We'll have your name and ticket number on a list, so no worries about that.
More updates coming soon!

Please get back to me ASAP with an estimate of how many posters/t-shirts you'll want!
Size chart is here.

After a few technical difficulties, we now have tickets available. Tickets are $11 each ($10 for the ticket itself, $1 service/shipping/handling charge to help cover the cost of Paypal and sending tickets).
The tickets won't be sent out until May 31st, unfortunately, since we still need to design and create them.
Please make sure to supply a shipping address for us, otherwise we won't be able to send you your ticket! There should be a place on the Paypal page to put down that information, but if we don't get it, we'll send you an email asking for your shipping address.
Pre-ordered tickets are going to be available until May 31st.
Here's the link; get to ordering!

I just contacted Fleur Cinema tonight, and we're all set!
Thursday, June 21st
Film starts at 7:00pm
Fleur Cinema
4545 Fleur Drive, Des Moines
Film starts at 7:00pm
Fleur Cinema
4545 Fleur Drive, Des Moines
Tickets will be $10 if you pre-order, and $12 after May 31st/at the door. I'll start selling pre-ordered tickets on April 16th; I'll let everyone know if it's earlier than that.
Fleur's very excited to be working with us, and they said they'd be pleased to give us a spot in the lobby to sell merchandise/hold raffles/etc. We'll probably have the drawings after the movie, and be selling things before and after. I'll have a more detailed schedule up in the next couple of weeks.
Please feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions. :)
I'm just glad this is going to happen! I look forward to seeing you on June 21st!
