The First Rule of Flying

Thanks to everyone who came out for this year’s event! That sing-along and dance party was such a lovely note to end on. We had a great time, and we hope you did too.

This year’s donation of $6,180.00 has been confirmed, bringing the North Texas Browncoats’ lifetime donation total to $86,985.17.

You guys are amazing!!

And we have some great news for you, about keeping this mighty little ship in the air. Not one, but two people have stepped up to take the helm. We’re very happy to introduce Ashley Peebles and Jason McNally as our new flight crew. They’ll be taking over these events in 2020, and we have every confidence they’ll carry the standard high and proud. We’ll be helping them through the transition, so if you’re interested in joining this new crew, please let us know at northtexasbrowncoats@gmail.com, and we’ll put you in contact with them. That email address, along with the management of this website and our social media accounts, will be passed over to them by the end of the year.

And finally, because it seems appropriate and I can’t resist the opportunity to use my favorite quote, I’ll cite the first rule of flying:

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 turnin’ o’ worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she ought to fall down. Tells you she’s hurting ‘fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Love has kept us in the air for 14 years of doing good works, through three crew tenures and now into a fourth: love for this ‘verse, love for justice, and love for this, our own little crew. Love will keep us in the air for a long time to come. This switch is just a little turbulence, we’ll pass through it soon enough.

Tomorrow’s the day!

It's time for our annual charity shindig!

Here are some updates and reminders for our event,
Sunday (12pm-6pm), October 13th, 2019:

New DFW location:
Alamo Drafthouse 
8380 Davis Blvd.North Richland Hills, TX 76182
https://drafthouse.com/dfw/theater/north-richland-hills

All pre-orders have been closed, however event tickets will be available at the door for $15.00 until sold out. Late arrivals are fine, we’ll be in the lobby to check you in until Serenity starts. After that, we’ll have a check-in station inside the theater. There are no physical tickets, and no need to print your receipt. We have a Check-in Table in the lobby and all you need is the name on the reservation.

While we’re on the topic, unlike traditional Alamo Drafthouse screenings, there’s no assigned seating for CSTS events. However, we want you to be able to claim your seats and roam around, so you’ll receive a “Seat Saver” sign. Once you claim your seats, it would be helpful to the Alamo staff if you’d make contact with your server before you wander off to look at all the shiny things 😉

As always, we will have a limited amount of 2019 shirts and patches available at the event for $20.00 each.

As in the past, all pre-order items are WILL CALL only, and can be picked up at the Check-In Table on the day of the event. 

This is a live event, so please expect all the potential schedule fluidity. We can’t be sure how long certain activities will take to complete, so allow room for slight delays. Therefore, the movies may start a few minutes late, but they will not start early.

We can’t wait to see you!

So Long, and Thanks For All the…Everything

First, an announcement: CSTS pre-orders are now offline as we make our final preparations. Tickets will be available at the door beginning at noon this Sunday, October 13th. We still have plenty of room, but all merchandise is now on a first come, first served basis.

And now here we are, suiting up for one last show on the CSTS stage after nine wonderful years and ten amazing events. When we stepped up for that first shindig in 2010, none of us could have imagined how long we’d be here, the crazy things we’d come up with, the friends we’d make, or the unwavering support we’d receive.

The North Texas Browncoat team of 2010-2019 is proud and excited to announce Do-Gooders Organization for Reckless Kindness (DORK). We are in the process of becoming a certified 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and boy, do we have plans. As much as we love the ‘Verse, (and we’ll be back here, don’t worry) we intend to branch out, to play new games in different worlds and raise funds for more causes.

We have you to thank: for your loyalty, your support, and most of all, the incredible inspiration you’ve provided. We have big dreams, and even bigger ideas for where to go from here. If you’d like to come with us on our journey, please subscribe to our newsletter. This management of this website will be passed on to a new crew when the time comes. This is the only time we’ll be posting here about our new venture.

We adore you. We THANK you. We hope to see you again.

Sincerely,
The North Texas Browncoats
2010-2019

Our former printer has closed down, so this year there is a small window for pre-orders.

About that schedule… we’re planning a new thing or two. Afterall, this is North Texas Browncoats’ 10th year hosting a Can’t Stop The Serenity event, so we might be aiming to misbehave  We’ll be announcing the shiny activities shortly, so stay tuned!
