Nonsense! Of course I do! Pretty please?
(Although if you don't I'll forgive you as long as you promise to play in mine.)

EDIT: By all means go for the Barrow-wight! I can hear that poem in your voice, it sounds awsome.

Well, you're offering me quite a challenge... singing Tom and being a tech-wizard.

Hmm... well, if we are doing the Barrow Downs scene, I can give Tom a try, but I can't promise anything for the recording stuff (I can't record anything online as such as I need to hear things myself, but I'll see if I could put up some monitoring stuff to overcome that).

Anyone knowing Skype better than me (which isn't a lot) having an idea if Skype calls can be recorded from the program itself?

Anyway. How many are we going to be? Oddwen, Aganzir, Pitchwife & me?

Now I know Legate has come to Finland today, so which would be the odds to get him + Lommy & Greenie to join if this would take place on Sunday evening? I can ask them - and you Aganzir should do it as well...

With that much more people around we might consider some scene with more characters...

I am very tempted to make time for this reading! You all know I love reading aloud and I'd be delighted to "meet" all of you again virtually. Is this now planned for Sunday? Approximately when (CET)? And I'll need someone to help me if I don't find my way to the Skype meeting place...

Oddwen · 12-03-2011, 11:50 AM

Grr, to Mordor with schedule changes without warning. I won't be able to chat tomorrow, but I'll be on, if distracted by cooking, from now until I pass out from chocolate consumption or sleep.

Pitchwife · 12-03-2011, 05:37 PM

for there being no Oddwen tomorrow. (I got home from the party half an hour ago and may hang around for an hour or so, if you're still interested in a little chat.)

On the other hand,

for the chance of an Esty tomorrow!

Apparently. As to when, these things usually just tend to happen sooner or later in the European evening, but with Nog having to get up early on Monday, we might actually try to agree on a time in advance - how does, say, 8pm Esty's and my time sound to you all? Or earlier, since you Finns are an hour or two ahead of us?

Just click on the Skype icon under my avvie, send me a text message and I'll add you.

Nogrod · 12-04-2011, 06:33 AM

Well... I may need to withdraw this evening's reading. I'm not being definitive as yet, but I hold it more probable than not.

I only realised yesterday evening that I have a way too many essays to read for the next week (and I have full workdays every day & theatre- and choir performances etc. almost every evening) so I may be in some trouble actually - especially as Legate, Lommy & Greenie are coming to my place the next weekend and I'd hate to read essays during their visit... (the deadline is next Monday)

But if you are doing it somewhat later in the evening, like 8 or 9 PM GMT (Finland is in +2 hours I think), I might be able to join if a) I have managed to read enough essays before then, or b) if I'm tired enough just not to read any more of the essays.

But if that later time is bad for you others, don't wait for me as it is fairly possible I will not have a chance to join anyway.

That's 9 Finntime, it should be doable. I have an enormous amount of schoolwork to catch up with and a demonstration to organise for Saturday, but all that means is that I should stop procrastinating now.

Pitchwife · 12-04-2011, 10:05 AM

Just came home from a lengthy walk and need ~2h to cook our dinner, but after that I'll be available for the rest of the evening, whenever it suits you all.
