As recently appointed and annointed official FFF Event Leader, I hereby suggest the following proposal ~
• Kaele's Browncoat Army shall mark June 23rd as their Serenity Day and continue moving full speed ahead with their mission.
• FireflyFans website shall mark September 30th as their big, splashy day to celebrate Serenity.
Each group will of course be doing all kinds of shiny work throughout the Summer to reach out and grow our fan base, conduct all manner of Firefly/Serenity themed events for the fandom to enjoy, promote sales for FF/S licensed products, donate DVDs, and generally invigorate our fandom.
This suggestion is made with the sincere wish that we use our energies now to move forward in a positive and constructive direction. This solution will preserve the work that Kaele's Browncoat Army has already put into their campaign for June 23rd, and also still saves a shiny FFF sponsored Serenity celebration for September 30th. Each group can still share these days, this is only meant to suggest which day to choose as their "Big Day".
The serenityday website and FFF can cross-promote, and we encourage all fans to feel free to participate in as many of the events and promotions as they can. Two groups working on plans will double our efforts and greatly increase the successfulness of our campaigns!
Sound like a workable plan?

Sounds shiny to me.
At last.
We can retire and give up
this life of crime.

Shiny.
Serenity Day would be a better name for the September date because of the annual, but no biggie. 
I'm game.
Go Browncoats!
BROWNCOATS UNITE!

Yes, I do agree with you on that point. But since Kaele's group already has a website with the serenityday url, and they've made the logo thingy, well, looks like it's in the best interests of moving forward to just let that go.
But we can still use "Serenity" in the September 30th day name! Here's some possibilities:
• Serenity Day with Sprinkles
• Serenity Day - This Time it's Personal (I know, I know... it's been done... but there's a reason it's a classic...)
• 11th Hour Presents Serenity Day ~ An 11th Hour Production (For some reason, this one sounds really cool!)
• Serenity Day 2 - Electric Boogaloo (Did I mention I'm sleep deprived?)
• Serenity Day - Live Nude Girls (People WILL notice this title... )
• Serenity Day - Fight For the Sequel (Okay, not subtle... but hey, it is what we're thinking!)
So many ways to go with this one!

This plan seems like something that everyone should be able to get behind.
Course, I'm a newb so what do I know? Speaking of which, another newb told me that someone around here hands out browncoats. Is that so?

Maybe we could call it Rise of Serenity - at the end of the Serenity Summer Campaign, and when it is actually FALL - get it? Rise when it should fall.
Ah, well... I'm stoned.

You know I have to go with:
• Serenity Day - Live Nude Girls
But that's just me. ;)
j/k ;)
Out of all of those, "Serenity Day - Fight For the Sequel" seems the best to me.

Sounds good to me. I gots me a job, so I think I can afford to buy an extra loaner/donation DVD on both days (as long as Fanty and Mingo don't come around asking for forty percent of my take off the top...)

there can never be too many days to celebrate Firefly & Serenity in my opinion!
On the 23rd (to celebrate Joss' birthday) I'm expecting to go to a fund-raising (for Equality Now) screening of 'Serenity' in the Bay area, and I plan to buy extra copies of Firefly & Serenity to loan out to friends and family.
On Sept. 30th I will participate in any and all events or activities to celebrate the one year anniversary of our BDM ...
AFTER I attend the Browncoat Ball Sept 22-24, 2006

there can never be enough Browncoat related fun for me!
