This weekend. We're GMT +2 (EST -7) and could probably stay up quite late, although the earlier the better.

Therefore you're two hours ahead of my watch. How about 20.00 or 21.00 GMT? Should be late enough for Alaskans and not too late for Finns.

I guess that any time we use would be fine, just as long as it's not Eönwë Standard Time.

Perfect for me!

But isn't Eönwë Standard Time = GMT? Or is that a reference to his personal biorhythm?

He does not operate on GMT, but his own time zone. The rumour is that he doesn't actually ever sleep, but is always up and at his computer.

Anyway, that's good that it works for you. How far ahead of GMT are you, Pitch?

Two hours with the daylight saving. But I'm on annual leave, so I don't have to worry about getting up early on Monday (except that my wife will make me pay if I'm not functioning by Monday noon, but I can live with that

).

All right.
Do you think that we have enough Downers to have a call?

So far it looks like it's Agan (+skip +Greenie?), Lottie, you and me (unless I've forgotten someone); sounds good enough to start with, doesn't it?
