Chat Party July 3rd?

Luba · 06-29-2008, 11:05 AM

In honor of Duke and Lifesupporters upcoming 4th Anniversary, I think we should have a Chat Party!

I realize many people will be busy, but maybe could just drop by for fifteen minutes or more, maybe make it an all day long coming and going party, at the very least, checking in at intervals. Sharing a drink or two and honoring Duke for bringing us all here into this GREAT and LOVING family (okay, I'm already teary-eyed just thinking how much I care about you all).

However, since I'm making the plans, if someone checks into Lifesupporters, one MUST say something in the Chatbox, even if one is alone online at the time. Surely, someone will connect. I hope to be on and off here all day! The only thing anyone has to bring is their joyful Spirit, or even if you don't feel joyful, show up and we'll share some laughs!

so is that the 4th my time??

I am all for it. The problem is that we have a dozen time zones to account for.

I'd suggest that everybody keeps their eyes open, because IF we have a chatparty, it is likely that a time will be announced asap.

I don't know about everybody's school, work and whatnot schedules, but those need to be considered.

If I am not mistaken, the difference between EST and the time in Sydney is a whooping 15 hours (so wolves will be ahead more than half a day).

I'll drop by if I can figure out when it is!

Vautrin · 06-29-2008, 06:51 PM

. Happy to hear that Meanon.

Can we just announce it in a chatparty thread, or do you prefer to be PMed, or even emailed about it?

I know nothing about time zones, I just want to par-tee!

Duke won't be available on the weekend, that's why it has to be the 3rd or nothing at this time!

Who volunteers about time zones? Actually, I'm off this week, so I'll be checking in and out Thursday all day long most likely! Maybe even buy some Mike's Hard Lemonade for old times sake!

I will be working during the day and I teach TKD that night so I probably won't make it unless it is still going after 9 PM CST.

Vautrin · 06-30-2008, 06:01 AM

I am afraid 9 PM CST will be tricky to say the least for the Europeans (as it will be 3 AM the next day, and 1 PM in Australia the next day).

I suggest we make it some kind of marathon, and try to set one or two specific timetables of 2 or 3 hours each to have a chat with as many people as possible. For example, 3 - 5 PM EST and 10 - 12 EST. This is just a suggestion, so comments are welcome.

In fact I urge as many people as possible to comment on this suggestion. Because the sooner clarity is reached, the more likley people are to join for the chats.

A note:
from EST to GMT (England) + 5 hours
from EST to Netherlands + 6 hours
from EST to Sydney + 14 hours
from EST to Vancouver - 3 hours

Wonderful Idea, Vautrin! Let's go for that, IMO!

TKDLady · 06-30-2008, 11:44 AM

That works.

I bought two small bottles of Mike's Hard Lemonade and I'm anxious to get started partying right now...

This is a week stock full of celebrations: Canada Day tomorrow, Lifesupporter's Fourth Anniversary on Thursday, and U.S. Independence Day on Friday. I'm all for starting to celebrate now if it wasn't for the fact that it may detract from Duke's hard work to get Lifesupporters to where it is today, and for me to meet such beautiful and incredible people!

I'll check this thread and PMs. I think the email I used when I registered is an old account that I don't use anymore.
