So as many of us know we did a MB IRL Meeting via Google Hangouts twice last month. Both of these went pretty well, and all of us who took part in them want to do it again. But the question now is, when? And will anyone else want to join us?
The meetings are open to anyone, with a maximum of 10 people. So please let me know if you want it so we can get you in.
We did both calls on Fridays last month, so please tell me what Fridays you are free on between now and February 22d, or if you'd prefer a different day.
;-; I won't be able to make it to the 26th...... DANG IT
how many people on here are on the hangouts chat?
Yayo
Okay Im on
ok
Okay. That makes things a WHOLE lot easier
I did. But if I don't post back here saying I'll be able to come this weekend, don't call me. I might have to do my science fair project this weekend.
I'm not going to post it until I talk it over with my mom. Then I'll post it. Is that okay?
I Do for Google Hangouts. Can gmail work?
Great! But you may have noticed that we need an email or phone number in order to add someone. Do you have a smartphone or your own email address?
Alright I should be able to make it.
2:00 PM Pacific, which is 5:00 PM in Eastern Time, for both meetings.
K. Do we know what time for both?
Okay so I'm three hours ahead, so if it's at six o clock on a Friday than I should be able to make it...? It would be 9pm for me, so that's cutting it pretty late, but I think I'd be able to make it
Okay Im actually Eastern time zone.... Hmm...
Sure
Do you know what time zone you're in? If not, look up "US time zone map" and find your state. Could you tell us what time zone it is?
lol. That's basically my problem. I could basically make it anytime accept for Monday after seven o'clock, and one Wednsday between 4 and 5.... oh and anywhere on Monday-Friday in school hours XD. But yes I could make it at anytime because other wise I'm completely free, but my problem is I need to get the okay from my mom. ( All pacific time I think...? )
Oof, oh well, maybe they'll let you do it someday
Though I trust you guys, my parents don't want me on a video call with people I know online. Which makes sense with lots of cyber stalkers nowadays. Sorry hope you guys have a good time.
So Nightmist and Jennifer will only be able to come to the second one, and Cass will only be able to come on the first one. How about the rest of you guys?
Okay, we should try, though I don't think Mrs.Alvarez can make it to that one based off her comment from earlier
Okay, so maybe we could try to aim for the meeting being on February 8th, any objections?
Oh, Wispi said that Cass could join if we did it next Friday, the 25th. I might not be available on the first of February, but I will be free on the eighth as far as I know.
Okay, so now we've got more peoples, let's chose the date, and because we of course want our favorite author there, we need to decide rather we're doing this on February 1st or 8th
I knew once I joined there wouldn't be peace after that. But seriously, I have a hundred unseen messages on hangouts
Sure @Azurestorm
Just follow the same steps I showed @Morning Star
Ok, Im available mostly all fridays except for tom. anywhere 5pm-8pm EST is fine.
You're welcome. Anyone else want to join?
Thanks Flamefrost
Yup. Okay, open your email inbox and there should be an invitation to join the chat. I just added you to it.
Done, thanks.
Got it. Now delete the comment by clicking on the three dots and selecting Delete Comment, then press Okay.
Okay. Then post your email address here until I have it, then delete it so no one else sees it.
i use my gmail to access it, will that work because i dont think ive signed in with my phone before.
I have it attached to my Gmail browser.
If not, you need to get it or I doubt you'll be able to join. If you do have it, post your phone number in the comments so I can invite you. Delete the comment once I let you know I've seen it.
Anyone can be a victim of spamming, is Azure Storm even on it yet because if not, welcome to a world of pain. Also can I join the message chain?
I have to bow out if it's on Saturday, sorry. Just an idea Google Hangouts has a message function too, maybe we could use that as a way to contact each other whenever we want.
We are definitely going to need Echomoon and Morningstar's input before we commit to any time but I think I can do 1pm
What times would work best for everyone? Personally, anything after 4 pm Eastern Time works for me (1 pm Pacific.) I don't want to be going after eight o'clock, though, because I should be eating and getting to bed by then.
Hi everyone! I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were meeting. I've been so busy writing and editing that I've had little time to check the board. Please email me directly whenever you need me to know something! The best Fridays for me are February 1st or 8th. If it's on any other Friday, I teach a creative writing class from 4-5PM Pacific Standard Time. So if it was 6PM or later, then I could make it. Please keep me posted! Jennifer
I just did and she seems to want to be part of it. I don't think she wants to be bombarded with questions, but if you want to, her email address is jenniferdiaries@gmail.com
I'll ask too. Put the MB link.
I can, later this afternoon. I do think it may be more effective to have multiple people try. I'll get back to you later, when I've asked.
It's a video call like Skype or FaceTime, but with more people (up to ten).
Actually I do need to check with my parents, is it a video or voice only?
I hope we can make that happen this time, actually. She would probably (hopefully) help to cancel out some of the awkwardness that has been present in the past two video calls.
Again my parents are not okay with this unless Mrs. Alvarez is present. Sorry...
I believe and hope I will be free for all of those days. I may have homework and that is the priority, however.
