Busy day being sure I’m ahead on Jayne hat orders<\/a>, but I just realized that I never did post about Charlotte’s Can’t Stop the Serenity event!<\/p>\n

In a nutshell, everyone had fun and we raised more than double what we did last year. More than $6500 went to Equality Now.<\/a> Go Browncoats!<\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nSince I don’t have time for a long post, how about some pics? I’ll spare you the one of the pre-show festivities, with me and Turtlegirl<\/a> and Illiane<\/a> of Emergency Knitting Bag<\/a> fame out at Charley’s restaurant, with me holding a snowflake martini up, looking three sheets to the wind even though I’ve only had a sip. I almost never drink, but when I do, I get very happy. Whee!<\/p>\n

How fantastic do these lovely ladies look? Great costumes! Zoe even placed in our costume contest. One of these charmers won the Jayne hat, and they were just so over-the-top excited and squealy about it that I had to take a picture. Awwww!<\/p>\n

For those wondering, yes, they are sitting in pews. We had our screening this year at the Unitarian Universalist Church on Sharon Amity Rd., and it was a great choice. We were able to do things we couldn’t last year, like have live entertainment in the form of Cedric from the Bedlam Bards<\/a>, and also a local woman named Spot. Good stuff! There were also refreshments, and a huge space for all the many, many prizes donated.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
\nHere’s a pic of Turtlegirl and Illiane examining the prizes they won.<\/a> Turtlegirl also posted about the screening<\/a> and the cotton Jayne hat she made while there. I managed to knock out a wool one myself.<\/p>\n

And speaking of prizes, check it out! I bought extra raffle tickets because the prizes were so shiny. And because it was for charity. But the prizes definitely played a part. There were a couple of things I was really coveting, and I got ’em! Woo!<\/p>\n

Look at the gorgeous Firefly pint glass! This was the perfect item for me. My husband brews beer, and I wanted this for him. It came with a business card for http:\/\/www.goodguycomics.com\/ , so many thanks to them for their generous donation. It was much appreciated, and I will definitely visit them next time I need a unique gift.

\nI also won the other item I really, really wanted, which was this Fruity Oaty lunchbox! These are available at Things From Another World<\/a>. At first glance, it may have appeared that the lunchbox was empty when I received it, but it was actually full of awesomeness and potential.

“But Tvini, what are you going to do with it?”<\/i>
\n<\/a>
\n“Pompom storage!”<\/b><\/center>
\nMore pics can be seen on flickr here.<\/a> I can’t wait until next year’s showing – each year’s seems to get better and better. No pressure, 2009 organizers!<\/p>\n

Boy, I said I wasn’t going to make a long post, but I did go on a bit, didn’t I? That coffee musta kicked in!<\/p>\n

I hope you all have a very shiny day!
