Views hack with date defaults to -all- but shows none

I'm trying to use the selective filter for views hack, and it works great except for one thing. When I load the form the dropdown displays as -All- with a list of dates. however, the page itself is blank until I hit submit.

- Add module
- Went to view and created a view with a date field
- added content: Event-time-Start date(exposed)
- Choose Expose this filter
- single filter
- is one of
- Actual values will be available at run-time
- apply.

My view now shows Event Date [- Any -] and when I drop down the list the items are correct. But there are no view results on the page.

I'd like for it to automatically show all my results on first view.
