For whatever it's worth, I think changing the Serenity Day event to the Summer Serenity Campaign culminating on September 30 is a great idea for the reasons that many others have mentioned: more time, differentiating the events, and being able to build a sustained, growth-oriented march to the 9/30 date.
I think this is an excellent proposal.

Browncoat1,
Did you see the further amplification of that idea in the Serenity Summer Campaign? We help
B!x promote screenings now and up to June 23rd and then we use that as the starting point to a summer long campaign of lots of stuff to lead up to the big thank you to Universal on the anniversary of the release of Serenity.. September 30th!
11th Hour has chimed in above saying it's a great idea, sure do wish it could be so, still hoping the leader of this gets behind it.
ETA: Gossi thinks so too! 
See the post right above me!

It would seem we have a plan people, one that doesnt involve any nastyness or treading on toes or anything else, on any part.
thats just shiney. 
I think that for something like this to have come from the bitterness that was around is something to be proud of.

I am very proud of us, Purplepebble... yesterday was a study in coming together and wanting to find a good solution and then when it seemed we had THIS solution, folks threw a party.. it was fun. My heads still a little fuzzy with that virtual Irish creme. Heh.
But we still have to get the leader of the Serenity Day behind this idea fully... 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.
I hope she sees this and sees that it will be good for us all...by all, I mean literally us all.

I second that.
Why not spend summer in serenity?
From the 23 of april to sept 30th we aim to misbehave.

i can't understand all the hullabaloo here. joss' bd is the 23rd. some people are celebrating it by having screenings. people who can't organize screenings are buying the dvd's and donating them to various organizations. and some people want to do it again in sept. sounds great to me. not everyone can make a screening, not everyone can afford to buy dvd's. you do what you can, and be thankful someone has the skills to organize whichever venue you want to participate in. so buy the dvd, or go to a screening, or do both.

My vote is for whatever Kaele decides. Period. What I have to say next is for 11th Hour. On one of your 12 or more posts you chastise someone for being combative. Let's review some of your finer quotes throughout this whole thread.
1. That was you trying to be polite? Dude, needs work.
2. Your post misses a lot of the points
3. An informed opinion is a lot more valuable to a discussion
4. Are Browncoats so fragile and easily discouraged that a date change will collapse the environment?
5. The whole army metaphor is getting a little creepifying here.
6. Everyone, who is this everyone of whom you speak?
7. You forgot the part where the sky was falling.
8. There's just so much "I" in those statements.
9. Why is it a big deal to revise a date on a poster?
10. And since this thread is a place to vote.
11. And I also don't want to expend more energy explaining what has already been posted.
Okay. When you speak like this but accuse others of being combative you look kinda silly (at least to me). And for not wanting to expend more energy explaining, you posted a million times! Hello! My answer to your question in #4 is: Ask B!X on Whedonesque. As for #9 - Some people don't have all the free time you seem to have. They have a family and responsibilities outside of this little venture. So don't be so critical. Cause that was all I got out of your posts. That kind of tone would be more appreciated on Whedonesque. Yes I'm pissed. Seems like all the big guns are a little whiny. As you mentioned this is a place to vote (although I myself have now kinda gotten off the beaten path). Please feel free to flame me.

FollowMal,
I think the Serenity Summer Campaign is a great idea. I think we should be working together as browncoats to promote Serenity & insure a future, moreso than worrying about supporting this team or that team, this individual, or that individual.
The problem here with this "it was my idea first" mentality is that it is causing a division in the ranks, one we can not afford. We should ALL be focused on pushing the DVD & boosting sales. It doesn't matter whose idea it was or who was where first and focusing on those things takes our energies away from what is important, boosting the sales of the BDM DVD.
Me personally, I don't care what day the campaign is, how long it is, etc. I am out here everyday talking it up & pushing it. Sure, I will assist the campaign any way I can & will redouble my efforts during an organized push by the fanbase. I like 11th Hour's idea & am fully behind it. I say let's drop the arguing over who came up w/ what & just do what needs to be done.
Keep flyin'!
(Please don't take the tone as harsh FollowMal as it is not meant to be. I am just over all the arguing and moaning. I want to see us focus on promoting the DVD.)
