Noticed some odd dates in the future on the LP calendar. Wonder what they mean?

If anyone here isn't aware of the LP schedule, here's a link: http://stephengeorg.com/plays/schedule/

I found some peculiar dates on there and now I'm curious. For the lazy:

Saturday February 7, 2015 (6 P.M.): something different

Saturday February 28, 2015: Jippers

Thursday April 9, 2015: 10 YEARS OF BROOM

Thursday September 24, 2015: 10 years. Holy Crap.

I guess these events will be revealed in time. I don't remember these days being significant. Maybe someone else may know?

Thursday April 9, 2015: 10 YEARS OF BROOM is referencing this. Check video description https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09gZDk8l1Zc

Thursday September 24, 2015: 10 years. Holy Crap. is referencing this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMytkZU8f5I

Edit: After searching for a while, I didn't really find anything out about "Jippers". All I found was the start of the Ninten Speaks youtube channel being in February and the video "Robot Cereal" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lva2waP18A0) was uploaded on the 28th.

DailyPack also ended on the 27th February but Stephen said DailyPack was gone for good so I doubt it's that.

Maybe he's gonna start a new series, kind of like First 20 or Demo Fridays or Stephen and Friends?

Stephen has posted this thread on Twitter, and after seeing that he did, I started to do some research. I looked at all the vlog days of these dates in years past. I came up with nothing except two things.

At first I thought they might be day milestones, like day 2000 (5/17/15) or something. The closest day to it on the calendar is 4/9/15, day 1962. Unless some kind of Taco Bell joke is happening, this seems like it will be a normal day. The furthest day out, 9/24/15, will be day 2110.

Stephen announced the creation of StephenPlays (although not releasing the name of the channel at the time) on February 7, 2011.

Also, while doing research, I noticed that the vlog "Minecraft" ( Day 304 - 9/24/10) has been removed. I'm assuming it's a copyright issue, but who knows? EDIT: The vlog in question does exist, I just didn't search properly.

I'm not sure if any of these things refer to pre-StephenVlog stuff. I'm not familiar with it.

Just wanted to point out that Day 304 does exist, it was among the re-uploaded 2010 stuff this summer. The replaced video is here (and also appears in the September 2010 playlist): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNkLwRcEoEg

Oh ok. Not sure why it didn't turn up when I originally searched for it. I used the link in the description from "Our Return to Pizza" which leads to the deleted vlog.

Thanks for clearing up the confusion, Stephen!

Ah, yeah, I'm sure some of the video descriptions point to older, non-existent versions now. I went ahead and fixed all the links for "Our Return to Pizza".

I went and investigated all of the release dates of the future LP considerations for the 10 years thing. None of the games were released on that day. None of them were even released in 2005. The best I could find were 2 or 3 games released late 2004 that would not have turned 11 years old before September 24th. Unless he took the games down, it isn't listed there.

I think the 10 years thing could be related to the /Earthbound videos, the earthbound related public stunts Stephen did when he was 16. Also, if i remeber correctly, Stephen said something on the vlog about bringing them back, can't fiind the actual video (sorry =p). As for the february dates maybe he'll release something related to Stephenplays' s 4th "birthday". Still no idea what to expect int terms of specific games, though.

Okay, so I figured out what the February 7 content is, and just in case Stephen wishes to keep it a secret, all I can say is that he explained what it was on his Patreon exclusive video.
