I think you're missing the point. Even if the B!x situation wouldn't exist, it's still better to pick September. I'm now convinced of that. ESPECIALLY with the Campaign plan catching on.
So DON'T argue for the June date out of spite, but calm down and think about what is best for all from an objective POV.
If you want to rant, send me a mail or something, but please don't stirr the fires any more, we got problems enough without constructing new ones. 
Serenity Summer Campaign for teh win!1!!
BROWNCOATS UNITE!

Hey, ServantofKushiel, thanks for taking so much time to compile a list of my "greatest hits"!
Just a couple of notes, on #11, could you please correct the apostrophe? Don't want folks to think I can't type don't! Oh, and on #8, the quotes around the "I" do make a difference in the meaning of that sentence... so if you have the chance, maybe fix that one too? Thanks.
There's some dropping of italics, a spelling error, and minor stuff on a couple of the other quotes, but no biggie.
Keep up the shiny work!
(You may quote me.)

"I am talking about Gossi and SimonF (sorry to bring you guys into this, but this needs to be said). Both of these people have a lot of sway over the fandom, and not having them onboard hurts the effort"
I am sorry, I mean no disrespect, I was wondering who Gossi and SimonF are and how they got a hold of my sway?
One summer.
One mission.
One army of Browncoats.
And a bunch of Rings that make Shiny people do silly things!
Starting June 23rd, we aim to misbehave!
Nathan doesn't know it yet, but I am his one true love! Is that weird?

Livlass, I do appreciate that there are people willing to take the time to organize these events, but I do not like being told to fall in line just because someone is in a position of power. Where are the convincing arguments for doing this in June? I've yet to hear one.>>>>>>> no one was telling anyone to fall in line. june 23rd was used because it was joss' birthday, and people wanted to do something for it. someone wanted someone to organize, and keale volunteered. people lined up behind her because they wanted to. she got some great support. so now there are people who are doing good on joss' bd. their choice. we can do it again on sept. 30th or choose not to, and sink back into apathy. our choice. (i hope this doesn't come across as too short. i'm doing chemo, and this is one of my bad days.) anyway,imho, anyone who does anything is all to the good.

My wife asks the same question.
Gossi runs SerenityMovie.org and I am an admin at Whedonesque. I have diddly squat influence over anyone and I do apologise if I upset anyone over what I said. I get frustrated about fan campaigns sometimes. I so badly want them to work but I get frustrated when they don't seem to let the fandom know what they want.
I have a question. How many DVDs do people expect to sell on June 23rd or thereabouts before Universal notices?

SimonF
Shiny to meet you! Sorry I didn't know who you are. Be careful with my sway now, its been through the ringer.
I took no offense at YOUR posintgs or anyone elses other than HE WHO SHALL NOT BE NAMED. (but I will not go into that here)
I think the point that everyone seems to be missing is that I don't think the intention was ever to sell a bunch of videos and expect a movie. I think the intention was to sell a bunch of videos and raise Awareness of all things Serenity/Firefly. My impression of the Browncoat 'verse is that you have to be pretty intelligent to be here. No one is naive enough to think that a major corporation is going to dump 40 million into a pot for a movie, just cause we said so - However, I think a number of us DO believe that if we sell enough DVD's on ONE day (hang on guys let me finish) to get the attention of the media world - that will in turn lead to the attention of the world at large - attention that will mean more and more lovers of the verse, followers of the Master Joss, droolers of the Malcolm (insert Inara, Simon, etc at will) - you get my drift. That attention would then lead to more and more dvd sells which EVENTUALLY, with the grace of HE/SHE/IT to which the collective you, do or do not pray, would lead to Universal saying - hey wait a minute! We could make even a straight to video dvd and they would come!
I am not sure why such a group of intelligent, shiny, erudite people can't just all agree to disagree and then LET IT GO. Buy on the 23, buy on the 30th, hold as many SHINDIGS as you want, crimeys - you could do all the above every damn day - just DO something and stop carping on each other.
With the intelligence in this group of people, we could spend the rest of the millenium finding more erudite ways of saying "up yours" then all the stars the night sky could show us.
I could post all sorts of negativeity about HWSNBN - but, I would rather eat virtual strawberries, sniff my turnippy coat (sorry FollowMal u ain't gettin it back) and read how one of us drives past cars that are emitting too much exhaust because they are running without core containment and screams REAVERS!
Sorry about the long winded post. I have just been getting whiplash trying to keep up with all the threads.
So read my signature. Browncoats unite! Girls Rule! Boys like to think they let us! Yes Virgina, there is a Santa Claus! sorry.....

she is still posting that she will do June 23rd, she sort of co-opted the Serenity Summer Campaign and said she liked it, but she also said a lot of stuff about an army and attacking and defending and such and I don't know how that figures into this plan.
FollowMal, where is this. I am afraid that I missed it while I was communing with the back of my eyelids?

I think we're in serious trouble if we can't find a solution that works for the entire fandom.
Has Kaele posted? Where is she?
I have no problem with making June 23rd the SerenityNow/Equality Now day, and using it to kick off a Serenity Summer culminating in a mass buy on Sept 30th.
(EQUALITY NOW is an important cause. It needs our support- Period. And I think there's more that we can do than charity screenings that a majority of us can't participate in for a variety of reasons.)
Thank you to the folks from Whedonesque & SerenityMovie who've come over to to help find solutions. I appreciate it!
I've said from the beginning that we need the entire fandom onboard for this to work, and I hold to that.
One Army of Browncoats, not 4 or 5 or 10. One. and as one we CAN do the impossible.
