Meet and greet chat night

irishrose · Event: Thu Dec 27, 2007 8:00 pm

Noticing that we have quite a few new regular members hanging about, I thought it might be nice to schedule a chat night, so some of the older members and the newer ones could meet in an informal setting.

I’m thinking of Thursday, December 27. It gives those of us who celebrate Christmas some time to decompress, and it’s soon enough before the New Year to not interfere with any weekend-type celebrations. I know it seems weird to throw a chat into the week between Christmas and New Year’s, but it would be nice to wish each other well before the year ended—and, it might be a welcomed reprieve from the festivities. The 27th is just a tentative date. Let me know if you’re interested. And if that’s not a good date, suggest another, even into 2008.

Also, our old chats used to be scheduled at 9PM my time (see how self-centered I am), which is eastern standard. That seemed the best way to incorporate most of this continent, but I think 9 here would push Evelyne and Niall into the wee hours of the morning. So, suggesting other times might be a good idea too.

Post here if you're interested.

Yes, I am interested-- even better if someone finds the time to tell me how such things work as I have never taken part in any chats.

I have no preferences for dates or generally time, though of course early morning would be difficult. Oh dear, so computers can't solve everything!
(Also I would be worried about getting my maths correct about what time to get up-- that's what happens when you haven't done any long distance travelling for a long time, things are no longer a habit).

Thanks for the explanation.

Go with the flow of what others tell you. If it's 3 a.m, I'll try to make it, but if I don't, you'll know why.

I'll definitely try to attend.

I'll try to attend as well. My schedule is pretty flexible. Whatever time everyone agrees on should be doable for me. Cool

I'd love to participate in a chat...9 pm works for me, although a couple hours earlier would be fine too. I'll be there as long as I'm not dragging into yet another family festivity! lol

Oh good, glad to see there’s interest. Fannie has mentioned that she could arrive earlier than 9. I’m wondering if it would be possible to schedule something closer to 6 or 7 PM EST, which would mean 12 or 1 AM for Ophelia. I think that would be much better than 3 AM. That might also work out better for Niall, if he happens to join in.

Now I know that’s normally the dinner hour for those of us coming home to families. Also, that might encroach on the work day if anybody from central or west U.S. was thinking of joining in. So if that doesn’t work, let me know. I’m just trying to feel out a time that is most convenient for everyone.

I will try to make it to the chat -- right now that appears to be a good day in my schedule, I should be able to be flexible with whatever time is agreed upon!

Yes rose...I have been following this thread and will try to make it. I just did not want to commit.

I just like to hear from you now and then, Mr.P. I was, btw, actually disappointed in the lack of tawdriness on that one site—that wasn’t a joke.

Lemmethink, funny thing is, when I decided to try and schedule a chat I was trying to recall the member who had dropped in on the last chat, a couple months ago now. And now I'm pretty sure it was you, yes?

It would have been hilarious to me if I had thought "Lemme think" who could it have been...? HEH! Yup, still making me chuckle.

Ignore me; I'm in a goofy mood. Glad to hear you're hoping to make it. Keep checking in for the final date and time.

Hi, sorry I haven't been on here in a couple days - crazy hectic with the holidays coming up, but I would be interested in participating as well though I do not have much experience with chat rooms so everyone would have to bear with me Very Happy

No problem Constance, glad to hear you intend to join us.

So it sounds that, of those that are interested, the 27th is good. As I had suggested earlier, I want to try for something a little earlier than 9PM EST to give our couple European members a better chance of participating. So, if you plan on participating and you have a preferred time, post it here. I’m thinking 7PM, 8PM, or 9PM EST, preferrably 7 or 8.

Looking forward to chatting with everyone.

Rose: My websites were a bit more tawdry when they were active. But these domains are now just parked with a company that pays for traffic/clicks. When I get back on my feet, I will probably put the sites back up as they were. Well, my leather site will be revamped and geared on making more mundane items as opposed to the S&M gear (although I will always make S&M gear...just too much potential fun for the types of conventions I can do!)

Mr. P.
