I'm planning a group Skype call for next weekend on Saturday October 4th at 2 pm Eastern Time (make sure to convert properly). The plan is to discuss the new Fall TV season and any recent films or anything else we come up with. This will be the podcast for next weekend. Drop a little note here if you think you can make it.
I may be heading out of town this weekend, but if I'm not I would love to be there!
Sure I can make it!
I'm in.
Count me in!
Rico,
I'd like to parstipate if I can.
Thanks,
Rob

Certainly...love to have you.
P.S. Everyone try to watch the "Clone Wars" next Friday too. Like to add that to the topic list.
Oh man.. I hate missing these.. but I'm doing a Guild shoot that weekend. :(
I might be able to swing it... if, of course, I can get around to watching Clone Wars. Stupid question here, when does the Clone Wars series start? And what network is it on? I'm not usually a big cartoon person, so I haven't been paying attention. But I've been wanting to watch this one for obvious reasons (I'm a huge SW fan).
Never mind... I saw the thread regarding the questions I posed above. :)
Ugh Cartoon Network.... Well it will still be fun
I'd like to be involved in the call as long as nothing come up before then.
I may not be able to see the new Clone Wars episode though, cause I don't get TV.
Rico,
I am new to Skype have only had a few conversations with Mr Moyer over it. What is the Skype name we will be connecting to or is it some sort of conference name TBD?
Thanks,
:blink
I will set up the conference call at around the listed time above. Just make sure to list your Skype name here so I can add you to my contact list if you are planning on joining in.
Unfortunately I'll be away on Saturday. Have a great call people!

Ahh, I'll get that to you tonight when I get back to my Home PCs.
I did find your name using the search and was not sure if I was to use that or something else. So I see, you connect to us or enter us as meeting participants. Very good.
Thanks
:)
For anyone new to doing this, my user ID on Skype is treksf.
Found you, ready to go.
Not sure if i will be able to make it as I'm 5 hours ahead of you I'll probably be out at 7pm UK time. If I am in I'll happily jump in and join the fun if that's OK.

What??? You should be in getting ready to watch Merlin! Having said that...
Kid's bedtime here so I'll be otherwise occupied (in case you were looking for a British accent to join in).
Main topics for the call: "Heroes", "Fringe", "Sarah Connor", "Clone Wars", "Stargate's", etc....
We will probably focus mostly on TV but if others have seen any recent SF type films we can chat a little about those too.
Thats around 7 GMT in the uk I think ill still be at work
I will get in on one soon I hope
Ry
I'd like to participate but unfortunately I don't watch a whole lot of TV. Of the topics mentioned above the only thing I've seen so far is 20 minutes or so of the Heroes Countdown to the premiere lol! (I have the rest on my DVR to be seen soon) I blame WoW! So I will save my participation for a more general Skype call that maybe covers less recent pop culture and more classic SF or general type topics.
I may be able to make it....but I have en early date with her..... :wub
I may not be able to come, I am pretty sure I can but I am at a friend's house so I should be able
Yup not going to be able to make it tonight (have loved doing the skype calls) if i get chance I'll drop in but we've got a bit of a French evening going on tonight, red wine, three different french sausages (duck, stag, herb) four different cheeses (Camembert, smoked cheese, Emental and Pavel) french bread, hmmmmmmm. Really should do what Bryan's doing after. Enjoy the call guys.
Oh and another thing we have just had the first episode of Heroes here and The Fringe starts on Sunday so couldn't comment too much any way.
WOOT!! My first Skype call!! My username is bjwanlund.
Although I need to apologize in advance if I sound a smidge out of whack... I've come down with a minor cold...
BJ
Well i look forward to hearing you on the podcast Beej, you'll have a great time.
Thank you Meds, glad to hear that you'll be listening to the podcast as well when we finish recording it.
Rico, I've already added you, hopefully you've added me (Username bjwanlund)! Hope to speak on the Skype call in less than 30!
BJ
Looking forward to the call. My skype user name is Eric Gant.
I've never really done a Skype conference call, so it should be a lot of fun! Although I have 2 seasons and change to catch up on regarding Heroes, I never really gave it that fair a shake IMHO.
I can talk pretty well about Sarah Connor, though I've fallen WAY BEHIND yet again...
Did NOT see Clone Wars, as I was in bed attempting to fight off a cold.
I'll try and contribute to the discussion as best I can (if Rico allows me in).
BJ
So how does this work, Rico? Do we call you, or do you call us?
Thanks to all of you that joined in this time. Nice to have some new voices on the show too!
Thanks: BJ, Tim, Eric, Rob, Rick, Sheppard, Warren. Hope that was everyone. Let me know if I missed listing you.
Thanks Rico for doing the Skype chat, it was fun, although a little weird. I'm so use to hearing you on the podcast that at times I forgot that I was participating in the call. This also was a little out of my usual comfort zone (I'm really a very visual person and I tend to speak with my gestures, so without those I get a little unnerved. I'm not always the biggest people person either, hate interupting people or annoying people), but that's good, me getting out and actually doing something like this.
Hope to do it again sometime, maybe I get a little more talking time in (first times the hardest right?), but I did have fun and I'm glad I could be involved.
-Dan "Sheppard"
it was indeed fun, sorry I had breakfast in the middle but other then that it was great, also look at my new sig...
Great job guys. Sorry I wasn't there to keep you all in line. ;)
I agree about Clone Wars. I LOVE IT. The droids got on my nerves, but it has to have a balance: kid/adult. I let it slide because the rest was so entertaining. Dave and I watched it together and the "non-geek" enjoyed it too. :D
Enjoyed the podcast episode.
Without you and and Kenny it wasn't the same, but it was still fun!
I'm enjoying it.. it's great to hear an new voices. I did miss doing it.. maybe next time.
What can I say? It was an interesting experience. I also was nervous but also excited to speak my views.
As you all now know, I am quite the geek and proud of it despite my squeaky sounding voice. :blush
Had so much I wanted to say and am so glad I had Mr. Rico and Mr. Moyer to carry me along when my nerves got the best of me. Once again Rico my hat is off to you for being able to do this every week by yourself. Your patience and welcoming spirit create this safe place for folks like us to meet and feel like good friends having a chat about a common interest over this world network. Bravo! :metallica:
My life continues to be enriched by knowing all of you. :biggrin
humbly yours

You did great on the cast Rob.
Yep - glad to know all of you and enjoy having you on the podcast. Look for more of this and similar things as we pass podcast #200. I have plans,....
Great podcast guys, really enjoyed hearing you all. Great conversations and a nice flow. Well done all. Look forward to hopefully talking to you all on the next Skype call.

Same here.
I feel privileged to be a part of this forum, and I'm honored to be in the company of such a cool and diverse bunch of people. And thanks for hosting the call Rico, your interviewing skills made the call flow very naturally and smoothly.
