A few of you have contacted me privately and asked about the possibility of a chat session to discuss my stories, or the HIPcomix site in general. While we do not currently posess the capability for such a chat on site, there are of course other options we could explore to make it a reality. If you are interested in such a get-together, please leave a message here. If enough people are interested to make it worthwhile, I will look into finding a chat or instant messaging service that could handle our needs.

Well you know I am in on that as I am one of the few that asked for a chat session.

Sounds like a cool idea.

Sounds like a great idea

I'm in , if the time's convenient.

Btw, what about Yahoo IM Conference? I know a at least robo's there already.

Finding a time/date will be tough given that we are literally spread around the world. I am confident that we can do it, at least once anyway.

Yahoo IM is definitely a strong option. It is easy to download, easy to use, and best of all it is free.

I'm in. I'm pretty flexible, so whenever is fine.

As long as it's not 1am in the morning on a weekday, I should be ok with it :P

So a show of hands of who's actually on Yahoo?.. also, we'll just cater for the time where the most number of people are able to attend. I should be quite flexible myself - despite being on the other end of the world.

I'm in.

I'm on Yahoo messenger too.

Looks like Yahoo's the go.

I've got akon, robo, trish, and me on so far :)

now it's all about arranging a time for everyone to be on at the same time. Count me out of coordinating that one unless you want times in Aussie EST time :P

Well, I am going to assume (unless told otherwise) that weekends would be best for everyone. How does something like Saturday at 11:00 PM eastern U.S. time sound? (That would be 1:00 PM Sunday in eastern Australia).

I live in the Netherlands, but count me in for yahoo messanger to

Aw oh well. It doesnt look like i'll be able to make this one (plans made that i almost forgot about :p) but i'll see an effort to make it to the next chat.

Well, I didn't specifically mean THIS Saturday, I meant some Saturday down the road. Will everyone be available on July 5?

oh lol my bad. i misread it. That'll work for me.

No need to apologize. I could have made my note more clear. Sorry about that.

Okay... since enough of you have shown an interest, let's try to set a date. How about Saturday, July 19 at 11:00 PM eastern time?

My plan is to use Yahoo Instant Messenger to host this chat. It is free to anyone who does not already have a YIM account. You just need to sign up for an account and download the IM software.

Please reply in this forum if you plan on being at the chat. That way I can decide if there is enough interest to proceed. If there is, I will provide instructions as to how to join the chatroom I create.

Thanks,

dang, didn't see the post till past the date - it would have been a bad weekend for me anyway - going out for a trip. Ended up a disaster of a trip, but that's a different matter. I'd be in next one (just poke me on IM with the details. you know my id, doc)

Take a look again, Unicorn. The proposed date is THIS Saturday, July 19. You haven't missed a thing! Although since no one has RSVP'd yet it might not happen anyway...

Woot - misread the wrong weekend - cool I'm in for this weekend if I could work out that time difference again. I'd like to put up my hooves (*lol*) on that one ;)
