Ok, that was dumb, i hit the button before I typed anything.

Ok, Malicious and I have formulated a plan about THE FIRST ANNUAL INTERNET SHINDIG.

The Plan:

Whenever it is we decide to have this thing (Next tuseday at 8:00 EST is the tentitive plan)
everybody will get on their AIM accounts (i'll give info on downloading AIM below) and I will invite you into a big group chat. That means i need your screen names a little ahead of time. Thats the main pourpose of this thread, to gather Screennames. So, if you want to be involved in this chat, please give me your screen name in this thread. I'll get you on my buddylist.

Don't worry, I'm not going to sell your screen names to evil stalkers, or give it away to anyone. If you decide you don't want me to have your screen name anymore, I'll take it off my buddy list.

Ok? So start with the screen name giving!

If you don't have AIM (Aol Instant Messenger) here's how to get it:

Ok, its very simple really. If you can point a mouse and type (I imagine you have these basic skills) then I think you can handle AIM. You might also need a basic understanding of the ENTER key.

Step 1) Go to www.aim.com
Step 2) Click the big yellow button that says "Download now!"
Step 3) On the next screen click the big yellow button that says "New Users Click Here."
Step 4) Then theres all these little boxes asking for what you want your screen name to be and stuff. Pretty straight forward. Just follow the instructions the website gives you.
Step 5) Eventually, you will get to the point where AIM will be on your computer. (There may be a new item on your desktop saying aim.exe or some such thing, you have to click that and go through the instillation wizard. This might also start up automatically. I'm not really sure. In any case, I'm sure you can figure it out)

Ok, so then you have AIM. I think the first time you log on, there might be one of those little "how to use aim" instructional thingers. It might be helpful to click that.

Good luck!

HELL'S KITTEN

My shiny brand new AIM name thing is: FF03K64

Everything else I wanted was taken. Has there ever been any discussion about creating a Firefly chatroom? I know there's one here, but I've never been able to successfully use it. I'm just recalling my misspent youth being wasted away on MUDs or talkers or whatever they're called. Fun fun. Anyway, just curious...cuz my friend could probably set it up and run it all independent-like.

ECGORDON

There's no place I can be since I found Serenity.

Not sure if I will be available for the Virtual Shindig next Tuesday, but I do have an AIM handle, and for the most part only use it to chat with my son.

Of course, when I registered several years ago, ecgordon and several different variations of it were already taken, so I tried quite a few other Heinlein characters as well. I'm sure there is someone else who will know the book this one is from, but I assure you, I am not affilitated with any Muslim terrorist organization.

alrighty, anybody whos posted so far, I've got your names.

To Static and ImJacksNickname: I got your IMs, but was away from the comp and forget to put up an away message.

Ok Gunhand, sign on to AIM and click on "Set UP" its down on the bottom, above the stock ticker. Theres a little logo of a + and - sign.

A little box will pop up, click "Add Buddy" and type BrokenGriGri (thats me) Close the set up box. On your buddy list (Thats the white box thing with bold letters that say MyBuddies (0/1) ect..) my name will pop up and the number after my buddies will change to (1/1) (I am assuming i'll be your first buddy so far)

Doubble click my name and another little box will pop up. This is an IM message box, and how you comunicate with people using AIM. Type something in the box and click send (or hit enter).

If I'm around, I'll IM you back, or you might get my away message if I'm not. In either case, you've succesfully used AIM! Congradulations.

Yeah, if i have to start thinking about times and time changes and all that stuff I'm going to get really, really confused, and probably forget what day it is and have a seisure or something.

So, here's what I'm going to do:

When I get home on tuesday, probably around 4 or 5 PST (thats the WEST COAST, I'm in Southern California), I'm just going to open up a chatroom and invite everybody in. Once everybody (or as many as it seems like we're going to get) are in and situated, we'll all hit play on our DVD players and watch whatever ep it is we're going to watch.

I figure we can argue about what ep we watch in the early stages of the chat.

Hows that sound?

screen name is geripeak.

I don't know whether or not I can make it, and have never used AIM before (or any chat at all). Don't know if my computer will allow me to see a movie and chat. I didn't even remember I had a screen name from registering Netscape long, long ago -- so am stuck with my real name. If I could only figure out how, would make an alias.

If I can make it, will bring yummy veggie sandwiches (grilled portobellos and falafels) and organic lemonade! If mom can't make it, will be surrogate mom and try to keep the peace.

Thanks for organizing, Ebo!! (Your my kinda stupid!)
