Subject: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: katlaughing Date: 23 Sep 00 - 06:10 PM So as not to interfere with the Mudcat Concerts scheduling, and wanting to make this an easy *do* for those in the UK, too (and, Australia, if they are about), I'd like to know what times might be best for an all poetry HearMe. Looking at the concert schedule, so far, the following dates seem not to conflict. Please cast you vote for whichever would be #1=best; #2=next best; #3=might be able to; #4=terrible timing majority rules.:-)
ALL TIMES ARE MUDCAT TIME/EST
Friday 29th Sept. - 6pm
Friday 6th Oct - 6pm There is a slight change I may wind up out of town on one of those w/ends. If that happens, is there someone who would be willing to jump in to host? If not, I would just reschedule. Thanks! kat |

Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: katlaughing Date: 23 Sep 00 - 06:27 PM NOT SURE what I was thinking!! These would be in the special session room which Jon set up, so no conflict with the regular Sunday song circle, just have to watch the Concert times. |

Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 23 Sep 00 - 06:44 PM For me, Friday and Saturday are both out for family reasons. Sunday Oct 1st is possible, although not desirable. I'd really like to be in the HearMe Sunday singing session. Faced with a choice, I guess I'd come to the poetry session since it's an occasional thing. Unfortunately, 6pm Mudcat time is a bad starting time for me. That's 5 pm here, and so I'd have to come in later. Despite the negatives above, I like the idea of a poetry session, and want to participate. Dave Oesterreich |

Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: Dulci46 Date: 23 Sep 00 - 07:21 PM Kat, I like the idea of a Hearme Poetry Session, can't decide which would be best, but would try to be there when ever it is. Judy |

Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: katlaughing Date: 23 Sep 00 - 07:28 PM Thanks. The reason I picked 6pm was because in one thread, someone from the UK said that would be a good time for them, as it is 11p and their free internet rates would be on as well as it was early enough they wouldn't have to stay up all night. The times and dates I posted are really just ideas, hence this thread. DaveO, as far as the Sunday suggesiton goes, that's why I set it at 11AM, so that we could be done in time for people to go to the regular song circle Sunday evening. Course, I guess some people might not want to do a solid block of 11a-11p or whatever it worked out to, but they could always jump in and out. Let's keep discussing it. I'd just like to see it happen, doesn't matter to me, really, when, just so we get a chance to share. Thnanks, kat |

Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 23 Sep 00 - 10:00 PM Somehow I missed that it was 11 am. If you have it then on October 1st, that's 10 here. I MIGHT be able to attend at that time. Might have to be later maybe as late as 1:30, and hope that things haven't folded by then. Dave Oesterreich |

Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: katlaughing Date: 23 Sep 00 - 11:45 PM A couple of us managed to fill almost three hours the other day, Dave, so I think will several more we'd still be around by 130p. After seeing the "did you ever have to recite" thread, I think we've plenty of people with plenty of material. Thanks for stating a preference. It doesn't have to be as early as 11A. Everyone, please post your choices and/or suggestions and we'll try to pick a good time for as many of us as possible. Thanks, Dave, kat |

Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: Liz the Squeak Date: 24 Sep 00 - 05:16 AM Sorry, can we have a dual time posting please (like in recipe books where it says 750g/1.5lbs) - I still can't get my head around what time is where and when, and if it is, then it's Wednesday in Peru. 6.00pm to me is when I'm getting home from work, but am aware that it is time for most people's 11.30, or stupid o'clock in the morning.... HELP?!! LTS |

Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: Amergin Date: 24 Sep 00 - 05:29 AM Kat, darling, I love the idea of a poetry Hearme session....glad some one thought of it....I never would have....practically anytime is open for me, provided I'm not at work....(my hours change).... Amergin |
|
Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: Jon Freeman Date: 24 Sep 00 - 07:27 AM Liz, we keep to a standard time round here. Like yourself, I would find GMT easier but Mudcat Time (EST) does make sense and most of us try to stick with it. It is easy most of the time - just subtract 5 hours. The only time I can remember that not working was when the clocks changed, one of us changed a week or two before the other. Now if I could just get used to reading and writing dates in mm/dd/yy format... Jon |

Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: katlaughing Date: 24 Sep 00 - 10:31 AM Hey! I put them in dd/mm/y just for you guys!**BG** Liz, I have a great little program which Alison in Oz sent me that sits on your menu bar. Anytime you want to know the time elsewhere all you have to do is click on it. If you'd like a copy, just PM me your addy and I will send it over. Thanks, Amergin. So Liz and Jon, does this mean you are interested?:-) kat |

Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: Jon Freeman Date: 24 Sep 00 - 10:55 AM No kat, I am just being nosey. I can enjoy the odd poem but I soon get bored with them. I hope the event is a success though. Jon |

Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: Micca Date: 24 Sep 00 - 12:02 PM Liz here try this UK time Mudcat 12:00 PM 7:00 AM 1:00 PM 8:00 AM 2:00 PM 9:00 AM 3:00 PM 10:00 AM 4:00 PM 11:00 AM 5:00 PM 12:00 PM 6:00 PM 1:00 PM 7:00 PM 2:00 PM 8:00 PM 3:00 PM 9:00 PM 4:00 PM 10:00 PM 5:00 PM 11:00 PM 6:00 PM 12:00 AM 7:00 PM 1:00 AM 8:00 PM 2:00 AM 9:00 PM 3:00 AM 10:00 PM 4:00 AM 11:00 PM 5:00 AM 12:00 AM 6:00 AM 1:00 AM 7:00 AM 2:00 AM 8:00 AM 3:00 AM 9:00 AM 4:00 AM 10:00 AM 5:00 AM 11:00 AM 6:00 AM |

Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: Wavestar Date: 24 Sep 00 - 12:08 PM Micca, Unless I'm much mistaken and very confused, GMT (Uk Time) is only five hours ahead of EST (Mudcat time), not seven hours. I would love to be in on this, if I could figure out how to make HearMe work with my connection... -Jessica |

Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: Micca Date: 24 Sep 00 - 06:56 PM It may make more sense if viewed like this UK time Mudcat Noon 12:00 PM 7:00 AM 1:00 PM 8:00 AM 2:00 PM 9:00 AM 3:00 PM 10:00 AM 4:00 PM 11:00 AM 5:00 PM 12:00 PM 6:00 PM 1:00 PM 7:00 PM 2:00 PM 8:00 PM 3:00 PM 9:00 PM 4:00 PM 10:00 PM 5:00 PM 11:00 PM 6:00 PM Midnight12:00 AM 7:00 PM 1:00 AM 8:00 PM 2:00 AM 9:00 PM 3:00 AM 10:00 PM 4:00 AM 11:00 PM 5:00 AM 12:00 AM 6:00 AM 1:00 AM 7:00 AM 2:00 AM 8:00 AM 3:00 AM 9:00 AM 4:00 AM 10:00 AM 5:00 AM 11:00 AM 6:00 AM |

Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: Lonesome EJ Date: 24 Sep 00 - 07:51 PM Friday would be good |
|
Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: kendall Date: 25 Sep 00 - 08:27 AM Let me know what you decide..I'm flexible. |
|
Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: katlaughing Date: 26 Sep 00 - 03:20 AM Anyone else want to weigh in as definitively as LeeJ and DaveO? I appreciate those of you who say you're flexible, too. Looks like Friday or Saturday may be best. I'll wait to see if anyone posts more and decide in time for the radio show, so they can announce, okay? Thanks, kat
|
|
Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: Amergin Date: 26 Sep 00 - 11:44 AM I just found out I won't be working Saturday until midnight....(damn graveyard)....but I will be working Friday.... |
|
Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: katlaughing Date: 26 Sep 00 - 02:25 PM One more chance. I will decide later today. LeeJ and DaveO...could you guys make it on Saturday? 6pm, Mudcat time? Thanks, all. kat |
|
Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 26 Sep 00 - 06:13 PM Saturday night? Only if I'm willing to go through a divorce. (That's a NO, in case you didn't tumble.) Dave Oesterreich |
|
Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 26 Sep 00 - 06:31 PM In that message I was assuming you mean this Saturday. No can do, for several family reasons. If you're talking about some future Saturday, I'm willing to "trade" Saturday (poetry) for Sunday night (HearMe regular) if I have to. But if I sit at the computer both nights I'm going to be in deep doo-doo with my Beautiful Wife of thirty-six years standing. |

Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: Micca Date: 26 Sep 00 - 07:21 PM Dave , why dont you offer her a seat, so she can enjoy it too..????? |
|
Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: katlaughing Date: 26 Sep 00 - 07:21 PM what if you pull an all-dayer on Sunday, DaevO? Will she still luvya?**BG** Okay, we've got lotsa flexibles, one on Friday night, one for Saturday night. Anybody for sure like late Sunday morning/early Sunday afternoon, better? Still hoping to hear from a couple more of you....tks...kat |
|
Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: Amergin Date: 26 Sep 00 - 07:51 PM I'd prefer Saturday....but of course go with the most folks....I do work 2400 Sunday morning to 1200 Sunday afternoon....so it might be possible for me to make it then too.... |
|
Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 26 Sep 00 - 07:59 PM The Sunday thing is the best from my point of view. She'll probably rumble, but no earthquakes. Dave Oesterreich |
|
Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 26 Sep 00 - 08:00 PM That is, Sunday is fine if it's not the second or fourth Sunday of the month. I've got folkmusic groups those days. Dave Oesterreich |
|
Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: Mbo Date: 26 Sep 00 - 08:40 PM Since I'll be here this weekend, Friday through Sunday is fine with me. |
|
Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: katlaughing Date: 27 Sep 00 - 02:15 AM Okay, here it is, the final decision, at least for our first one:
MUDCAT ALL POETRY HEARME Let me know if you see any problems with this and tune up yer favourites poems, your own and others'. I am really looking forward to this. Thanks, everyone. I will post a thread that morning as a reminder, with the link in it. kat |
|
Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: Amergin Date: 27 Sep 00 - 01:14 PM Oh well, there will be other times, right, Kat? Hopefully it will still be going strong when I show up at 12:30 Pacific.... Amergin |
|
Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: katlaughing Date: 27 Sep 00 - 03:56 PM Amergin, I am sorry. I do think we may still be going by then, let's see that would be 130p my time. We will have started about 11a, my time, so, I don't think it is unrealistic to think we may still be going 2.5 hours later. At least check in, okay? I really wanted to hit a time that would work for us all. Yes, there will be another time, I am sure. Thanks, Amergin....kat |
|
Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: Amergin Date: 27 Sep 00 - 04:05 PM No problem, Kat, I'll still check in. I am looking forward to this. So do you have a link to the special concert room? Amergin |
|
Subject: RE: Scheduling a HearMe POETRY session From: katlaughing Date: 27 Sep 00 - 06:18 PM I will post a thread, that day, with a link to that room OR to one specifically named for the poetry. I am waiting to hear from a couple of persons about that. Thanks, Amergin |
