NEXT INSTANT CHAT?

Hi Chatterboxers. I asked an Admin when the next IC will be. He said that he may be able to do it November 13th or November 15th, 2013 4pm central time. 

Is this planned out, Admin? If not, please let us know! If it is, let everyone know about it.

Thanks!

 

Yes, but I think we settled on Friday the 15th 4 pm central because you said you couldn't on Wed. and you're the one who most recently asked.

Here's a suggestion based upon past experience: Give some forethought and maybe even discuss in advance what topics you might want to cover or questions you might want to ask each other. As I remember the last instant chat, the whole hour was pretty much spent with "What shall we talk about?" comments.

YAYAYAYAY!!! 

I, for one, want to have a mini book club-ish chat :)

IF, and that's a big IF, I have wifi at that time. (We'll be in Winston Salem, NC!!)

I agree with Violet. I think that our IC should be about books!

We could talk about our favorite genres, books, and authors. I think this is a good topic. What do you think, admins? 

 

That sounds good. Also, I'd like to ask Red and Ruby, if they'd like to participate, what time do they get home from school? Maybe we could start a bit later so they can participate at least near the end. I think they are in Pacific Time Zone.

We usually get home around 3:20 which would be 5:20 Central Time. Even if were able to get home earlier, our school doesn't let out until 2:50 so we would have no time to participate in the chat.

 

I was thinking it would be about an hour long. If posts are still coming in, I'll try to stay on till 5:30 or so. And maybe another time, we'll schedule an evening for us.

Sadly, Ruby and I will not be able to attend because of school. Darn that school. Always in the way whenever you want to do something. So, somehow, you'll just have to make do without my awesomeness.

Just realized that I might be a little late for the IC. I have Cross Country till 4 on Fridays. I will still probably be able to chat, though! ;)

Huh. What shall we talk about? How about we start threads to occupy during the IC where we talk about certain things? Hang on. That's a good idea! I'll do it.

One for Doctor Who, and another for Random stuff, and another for... something else. You guys can create more!

Rodney says broc. Broccoli! That seems like a good subject! Actually, a general food discussion for the IC as well will be created.

Butterfly and I will hopefully be on! Co-op ends at two or so, and we will be back around three, if mom decides to go on errands. Can't wait!

I'll try to be on at that time, but there's no guarantees. I have practice for my ballet recital from after school until 4:45 EST and then I have a break until 6:15 EST. Admin, you said that you'd try to stay on until 5;30 or so, is that EST or CST? Either way, I might be able to make it on for a bit.

I'm going to try to come since I haven't been to one yet. Though I'm not sure I'll be able to, since I never know what my life will be like day to day.

Oohhh, awesome! I'll try to be here! 4 o'clock CNT is 3 o'clock EST, right? I should be able to make it, then!

I think Joe's idea is awesome! Maybe we could even start a RP we do that day.

 

4 pm Central Standard Time is 5 pm Eastern (3 pm Mountain, 2 pm Pacific). East coast is one hour later than Central.

I missed the Instant Chat. I didn't get home until late at night, since I was occupied with other activites. Yet, I was the one who suggested it and I wasn't able to come. Did you guys notice that I was not chatting?

I was wondering why you weren't there... I was hoping to have a book chat with you.

Sorry Violet! Maybe next Instant Chat. I would love to have a book chat!

When might the next Instant Chat be, Admins?

Rodney says homp. Homepowder? 

 

Probably not till at least January, but maybe sometime in late December. Most likely I won't be able to give much advance notice of the date or time. I guess late December would be good for many CBers because school will not be in session then. But some people may be traveling or visiting with family.
