				  Group Chat #2 - August 2-3  
					
						I am looking at Saturday, August 2 at approximately midnight eastern U.S. time (so it will technically be Sunday, August 3) for our next group chat.
 
 Please RSVP here so we know who to expect and whether we will have enough people to go through with the chat. Thanks.

I don't know exactly where you are, but Sydney, Australia is 14 hours ahead of the eastern United States. So if we hold the chat at midnight here, it will be 2:00 PM there.

						 Glad to see such enthusiasm!
 
 Just a reminder that group chat #2 is this weekend. As before, the procedure will be for you all to watch this forum at the appointed hour for my instructions. Once I have created the chatroom in Yahoo IM I will let you all know how to get there.
 
 If you know someone who may be interested in participating, feel free to bring them along. The more the merrier, I say.
 
 See you then!

				  Chat #2 TONIGHT  
					
						One final reminder that the group chat is TONIGHT (or tomorrow, depending on what time zone you're in). We start at midnight eastern U.S. time.
 
 To participate all you have to do is send an instant message to doctor_robo4 on Yahoo IM asking me to join the chat. If your YIM profile is different than your HIPcomix forum name, please let me know who you are so I don't think that you're a spammer. Once I see your message, I will invite you into the group chatroom.
 
 See you then!

						 I just wanted to say thanks to the members who made it to the chat last weekend. In all we had seven participants, making for a lively conversation and a great exchange of ideas.
 
 We have discussed doing this on a regular, perhaps monthly basis. I'll be sure to leave a message in this forum when a third date is agreed upon, perhaps the last weekend in August or first weekend in September. Stay tuned.
 
 Thanks again!
