And the most important person of the fandom is, of course, Joe Sweden.
Yes, i agree. And as someone who does check out different boards, i am a little confused as to why everyone would not be happy to work together...and hopefully that is indeed the case. After all, fans of Joe's work should share a common bond, the appreciation of what Weldon has given us all - and not just a 'chosen' few....
In the end, I'm in favor of whatever needs to be done to get a shot at another movie - I'm not totally unaware of how the entertainment bidniz works... (crap in, crap out...soak in the hot tub & count your money)... but I've seen so many new fans of Firefly in the last year that I will remain optimistic....
oh, and thanks for your insightful input (& Simon's as well)
Some time,
some how,
read my lips....
On June 23rd, September 30th & November 20th, we aim to misbehave. (ok so i always misbehave on my b-day...)

You were right. I'm stuck between thanking you and hating your guts. 'Must get the cuteness out of my head...'
At last.
We can retire and give up
this life of crime.

Tallying?
June - 17
Sept - 13
Both - 7
There were about 5 or so ambiguous ones.
Best option?
Buy the DVD on June 23rd.
Go to a screening on June 23rd.
Come June 24th, we continue on.
I'm still in need of a few volunteers, so please use the website and drop me a line. :)

Sweet, muscular Joss... your talent for counting votes the way you want things to go is darn near miraculous!
FYI, the votes for Serenity Day on September 30th outnumber the June 23rd votes more than 2 to 1!!!
For the sake of honesty and respecting the voices of the people who voted, below is an overview of the votes on this thread. Some names have an excerpt from the associated post. The votes which were definite, or had a strong preference for a particular day, were placed under that date.
PLEASE NOTE: Many of the people voting for a specific "Serenity Day" still expressed an interest in having a Summer long campaign, starting with June 23rd and concluding on September 30th.
However...
The main goal of this particular thread and vote was to pick which date would be the big DVD buying push, and be called "Serenity Day"... so that's where the emphasis of this voting compilation has been placed.

Participants Who Appeared to Think We Were Voting on the Screenings (2):
RiverGirl - Her post kept referring to the screenings and the difficulty with changing cinemas, and the reference to charity. She must have thought she was voting on the Serenity Now screenings.
Emandbri - Her post kept referring to the screenings. Hard to tell if she was aware of what the vote was really for.

You're welcome!
Took a long time to compile that overview, but what's right is right. People were expressing what they wanted... that has to be respected.
The thread was started so we could vote and have our voices heard. It was a way to make sure that the plan was a reflection of the majority of the fans. The only way the plan can achieve the greatest success is one that has the backing of the most people.
And everyone was so happy with the result that they started a party thread!

hey 11th hour!
Great job.
but...in terms of my vote...I like the idea of sept 30th. But please put my vote for both ... since i figure we can do a small sales spike for june 23rd and have a bigger sales spike for sept 30th.
Anyway either way, from the posts I saw, it seems that sept 30th is the majority.
ETA: oh and the partAY thread was started by me way before the decision was made... it was a way to release the tensions...and get some fun back in.... b/c everyone was soo serious and wound up. So please.... whether you are for june 23rd or sept30th or for llamas to take over the world, please join us on the partay thread. unlimited alcohol(no hangover whatsoeevr), dance anyway you can(and not be embarassed), and all the most decaent rich.. great tasting food and no calorie! What more can you want?

Thank you, 11th hour!!
I was just thinking: "This must be what going mad feels like." :) Without you, 11th hour, this 'verse would be a whole lot more deadly and unpredictable. Thank you for what you're doing.

I can certainly can change the category of your vote. However, there was a certain "looseness" in the way people were voting. For instance, I also agree that buying DVDs on June 23rd is a good idea, but have September 30th be Serenity Day... so I put myself in the September 30th category.
To help explain the categories:
• The folks under the September 30th date are saying that's the date for the big DVD push, and that day will be called "Serenity Day"... but it's not saying that we also can't do something on June 23rd.
• The folks under "Both" don't have a preference which date is the big DVD sales push, or which day will be called "Serenity Day".
Hope that helps clear up the meaning of the categories. I'll revise my post so other people won't get confused... at least I hope they won't get confused.
So, just let me know which category fits your preferences best and I'll revise the list if needed.
Thanks!
11th
