Hi all, Me again.

Last night's shindig was fun... though a might sparse n the company ( though what we did have was enjoyable

)

So, for next week I want to see more faces so c'mon folks. Sign up ( or rather vote )

But first, a refresher on Virtual Shindiging

1) Every Tuesday at 9pm est
2a) Find us on AOL Instant Messenger ( www.aim.com for your very own personal copy )
2b) once AIM is installed and running go to:
People>Chat (for Mac, Cloverleaf+T for shortcut)
or
People>Send Buddy Chat Invite (for PC. Alt+C for shortcut)
then
Enter your aim name in the "invite" section and Firefly in the "room" section, hit send/invite and away you go
3) Have your discs ready, snacks set out, comfy chair all snuggled into and Enjoy

Now, as for the rest of you that can't make our regular tuesday shindigs, this is your chance to vote too.

I want to know why you can''t and what would let you. So if it's just you don't have/like AIM Suggest a different meeting spot.

If the time's not good for you, Then give us one that is and you may just find there are more like you out there and You can have a Virtual Shindig of your very own.

So, for those of you that can attend, or even just want to, Vote for the episode(s) we'll watch next week

And for those of you that can't, let us know why and we'll do our shiny-est to make sure you can soon enough.

I'd enjoy meeting fellow browncoats, in person or over the wave. (morbid curiosity? A brave look into the mirror to see what makes these freaks tick and therefor understand myself?? Perhaps a fresh excuse to drink beer/coffee???)

Wednesdays are the night for me though that is likely to change. See, the whole work'in and grad school thing is having the most un-shiney effect on my free time.

Since scheduling around me would be futile I reckon I'm getting at a request that hosts keep advertising virtual shindig nights as they come.

I'd love to make it to Chicago for the ball but you know how it is. Don't want to end up on the drift w/o fuel or prospects (especially in Nebraska). So. Till I get to meet some of you folk,

Clear Skys

Thanks, hon! I just posted on the original thread. I think I talk a lil' too much. RawDeal said he was busy listening to commentary and all.

I had fun meeting you (plural you) and I have the headache to prove it. Too much mudder's milk/wine. It doesn't make for a fun work day but hey. Gotta run, but I'll be back to vote.

Okay, got AIM installed. I have the really "original" name of "fffanaticinaz". Bleh.

Do you do Step 2b on the day, or any time?

Right now, time/day is fine.

I also vote OMR & Trash.

Yay!

Oh and yes we do 2b on the day but, you can do it prettymuch anytime and hopefully you'll find someone else there...

Or heck, if you wanted you could do 2b and then wait for someone else to show up. If you do though, let us know so we know there's someone waiting.

Nothing worse then being alone and waiting then being alone and waiting when had you known you coulda been not alone and... not waiting...

That needs some work. Anyway glad to hear you're aboard and we'll be seeing you come tuesday.

Good idea with the double dose of YoSafBridge. I might not make the first one, but should make the second.

Thanks! I'll do 2b on the day, that way it's a bit easier.

Just have to figure what my time difference from the East coast is right now. AZ doesn't do the time change for Daylight Savings Time, so I can never remember. You'd think after 6 years of living here I would. ;-)

I'll also make note on my Yahoo calendar so it reminds me :o)

Arizona is mountain time, however they don't do daylight savings, so right now I think they are at the same time as Pacific. In February I know there is a one hour time difference, so it must be summer when they're the same.

Possibly, you can use "AIM Express, which will allow you to chat from a browser window instead of a seperate program. Either way, you'll need to get a username.

well, you could find out the time in a state above/below AZ and that would tell you how far off you are (+/- hour) after that it's just a matter of subtracting 1 for cenral, 1 for mountain... 2 hours. so it'll either be 6 or 7 for you... show up at Six just to be safe

I'm sure someone will be there to chat with before hand

And just to be sure i haven't missed any sneaky invisible votes ( and to sum up for those of you what don't want to read the whole thread ) It's OMR followed by Trash tonight.

There may be a quiz on YoSafBridge afterwards

For the record, the proper time is 6pm in AZ. It's also 6pm in CA. I expect to be there, and a double feature of Yo-Saf-Bridge sounds ... special.

Yeah, and if wishes were horses we'd all be eatin' steak.

Being new to this, I can't say. I was just working from the first post that said:

Quote:
1) Every Tuesday at 9pm est

which would be 6pm Pacific time - and also, coincidentally, Arizona time. But if a different time was intended, that's ok. I'm sanguine about it.
