Hi all,

So in the sorta-defunct book club thread I raised the idea of anyone who is interested in meeting in some chatroom somewhere, possibly while imbibing in alcoholic beverages. Why?  To talk about all things Achewood and hopefully embarrass ourselves.  I think it would be entertaining meet in this format, especially since some of us will probably never get to go to an Achecon.  It was raised that we would need to do this thing on a weekend so that any members in bizarro-land-time-zones can still come to the par-tay.  Certainly no one has to drink if they don't want to, but it would add to the fun if a few of us were getting lightly toasted, and I've recently had a large bottle of vodka mysteriously appear out of nowhere (seriously, I have no idea where it came from). 

Also, if anyone has preference as to where we could meet, please throw down your suggestions here!

I am down.. so down... drunken chatting is a gift from the deities that reminds us to stay humble (When we later realize what we said).

Classically, IRC is where things like this should be handled.  I suspect Slashnet is easiest.

[V-Adore]

IRC is almost certainly easiest, yes.

I guess, but I'd like to do something on a server that won't be latent or down all the dang time.

AIM has a chat room feature that we used once before to have a chat with Onstad.  Maybe that's the way to go?

I guess I could find a copy of mIRC somewhere, but isn't IRC like gopher, use(less)net, and telnet BBSs now?

How did that go?

But that's part of the CHARM. There are flashier (and probably Flash-ier) options available, but nothing beats the scrolling smackdown of IRC chat rooms. Nothing, I tell you!

It still has its uses - IRC is my primary means of... ahem... melodic entertainment binary files.

Is this happening or what?

[sjlimmer]

Given that I rarely have anything useful to add to this forum as it stands, I can't imagine that I'd be any more loquacious in a real-time chat.  But if I can use it as an excuse to drink, I might drop in.....

Perish the thought.

I like IRC.

I'll be the first to name my timing desires for a drunken chat - I work early mornings, so the nights that are best for me are the ones before days off - this week, that will be Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday night. After the 9th, they will be Friday and Saturday night.

I am in the Eastern time zone (knowing what time it is for most who will join in will probably be helpful).

[yu-huang]

I'm game, even though I'm not that talky (but then again, the plan is to get tanked to the uvula, so - please don't ban me!). I can join in, according to my post's timestamp, from 10 pm onwards pretty much everyday until the middle of this month. What's it gonna be again? Mirc? Jesus, I'm so unfunnily old.

[side_show]

I am a central standard time zone gal.  I am good for any time between 2:00 PM and a 11:00 PM start time, and would prefer a Friday night or weekend if at all possible.  I am not technically aware enough to dictated where we meet, just tell me where to go and what to do, and I'll be there.

Since no one else is taking the ball and running, I will make a room, probably tonight on Slashnet for IRC, and it will be called #TOUAMB.  I will probably create it later in the evening (around 8-ish CST).  I will leave it open all weekend (even if I am NOT THERE, it is like magic what I do for you people.) so it's like you know, an open house.

If you need instructions please shoot me a message.

What ports does Slashnet run on? My college has inexplicably blocked 6667 and 7000, so if Slashnet doesn't run there, I may have to sit out. Weep, sob, divers alarums & excursions, etc.
