Well that wasn't good.

(What an bad time for my internet to die for no reason!)

Poor Steve. It's okay: we were all actually gone within about 20 minutes, so you didn't miss much.

Ah for the old days! Where have you all been?!

*starts humming "Those were the days, my friend, we thought they'd never end . . ."

Maybe what we could do is advertise a time in advance, after the Christmas rush.

Maybe even some sort of New Year's Levee chat? (Here in Canada, a levee is a New Year's social event. Maybe we could even nudge the Barrow Wight into making an appearance! Or Mister Underhill. Maybe we could even get Sharkey to put in a word or two! That would be in keeping with Canadian traditions.

Anyhow, twas fun even though brief. The days are getting longer now though, so . . .

I think I would faint if Sharkey spoke! Which would keep me quiet.. some people would pay good money for that

When I saw Esty's post this afternoon I actually took a stab at signing in using the Chatzilla plugin for Firefox, but it wouldn't let me connect to sorcery.net. I tried a few different tweaks, but I wasn't having any luck and I don't have the time to solve technical difficulties like I used to. Sounds like I would have been way late in any case. If something gets scheduled (and I can manage to attend), I'll put more effort into getting connected!

I believe he once told me to be quiet.

So, what time/times would people be free to come for a chat?

How does Friday, January 1st sound, 1 pm EST (6pm GMT)? Late enough for all those hungover to get over it? That will allow some of the eastern Europeans time to chat as well as the West Coast New Worlders.

Any other suggestions? Would the weekend be better than New Year's Day? I'm assuming that the Bostonmooters will have other things in store for New Year's Eve.
