Someone started an LJ community to do just that, ND. I'm not sure if it's fan-based or what.
But the networks selling so much advertising at the upfronts this year could hurt them. My understanding is that they don't have enough available time to offer advertisers make good time. So they might have to *GASP* give money BACK.

The thing where they wine and dine all the TV critics and show them all the upcoming programs so that they geek out about them in their magazines/blogs/websites/radio shows.
I think.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There is also WGA East, which lists the schedule:

Eliza Dushku, Alexis Denisof, Nathan Fillion, Summer Glau and Amy Acker are going to the Mutant Enemy Day thing. And, I presume, some writers. According to Whedonesque.
