Birmingham CSTS

Yes!! We are back!!

After a year off we have decided that we really should have a Sending a Wave – CSTS meet up!

This will take place in Birmingham on the 13th of July.

The plan so far:

You turn up early afternoon

We have some food… BBQ or Tajine depending on the weather

We geek out on whatever we will feel like geeking out on.

We may (or not) watch something…

In the evening there is talk of going to a fabulous little North African place for food and belly dancing (watching AND dancing if you so want)

We will have a jar where you can drop a bit of money for us to send to Equality Now of course.

So, if this sounds good to you and you are free on the 13th of July, send us an email and we will get back to you!

Read you soon!

Show 101: The One With Added CSTS

Ah, British early summer – rain …

But for us Browncoats, the 2013 CSTS season has now begun!  Odile and I spoke with Matt from the Beeston Browncoats in Nottingham and Kerry from the brand, spanking, new London Browncoats about their CSTS events happening this year.

You can follow both on Twitter, @LDNBrowncoats and @BeestBrownCoats, to find out more of their upcoming CSTS events and you can always peruse http://www.cantstoptheserenity.com for all links to all CSTS events this year.

Don’t forget, we are also having our affiliate in Birmingham but there is limited space.  If you want to join us on 13 July (I keep telling Odile that we’re really celebrating Harrison Ford’s and Patrick Stewart’s birthdays!), email us at sendingawave@gmail.com.

As always, we hope you will enjoy the show and if you do, you can leave comments here or on our Facebook page or Twitter.

You can find our podcast on itunes, here is a direct link to our page.

If you use iTunes as your podcatcher, please leave us a review.

Of course you can also download the show directly from here!

Commander Chris Hadfield: “Space Oddity”

I know this all hit the news yesterday, but I think it’s worth parking here nonetheless and yet again, Commander Hadfield ably demonstrates why the best space Captains, Commanders and engineers hail from the Commonwealth.

Welcome home, Commander

“MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING” interview from SXSW

As the release of “MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING” draws ever near, I thought I’d park this interview with Alexis Denisof, Nathan Fillion and Clark Gregg conducted by the Smells Like Screen Spirit team at this year’s SXSW in Austin here.

Show 100: The One Where We Hit Three Digits

Congratulations to us!

With our April show, we officially hit three digits – 100 shows!  As you can imagine Odile and myself are very proud.

But, of course, we want to thank you, our listeners for continuing to download.

For this show, naturally we pat ourselves on the back a bit and discuss the Jayne hat cease and desist orders which were recently served on members of Etsy.

Join us in May!

As always, we hope you will enjoy the show and if you do, you can leave comments here or on our Facebook page or Twitter.

Edmonton Browncoats “Hero of Canton” flash mob

Even in the depths of a snowy Canadian early spring, our good friends, the Alberta Browncoats, show that you just can’t keep a fan flash mob down.  Enjoy!

A unique way to make the signal go further

Espionage Cosmetics

You find Browncoats in the most unexpected places and two US companies are attempting to follow the Captain’s instruction “to make the signal go further” in a most unique – and fashionable – way.

Two cosmetic companies, Sweet Libertine and Espionage, have launched their very own “Firefly”/”Serenity” inspired ranges.  Readers who have attended the Emerald City convention earlier this year, will have seen Espionage’s table in the Dealer’s Room.

Sweet Libertine have titled their range “Can’t Take The Sky From Me” and for those of us who are ethically-minded, many of their colour ranges are fully vegan.  You can find the “Browncoats” range (and I think the group are topped with their own dinky Jayne hat) at Espionage Cosmetics.
