Saturday the 25th of Feb Virtual Offline, Zoom details to be posted

I would be up for this.

Sounds interesting.

I'm up for it also.

Count me in!

G-man: So how does this work?  Let's do it.  We can schedule it, announce it here, and perhaps get some other folks to join.

Irwin: in the early days of the pandemic the late (and great) Sunnylea57 set one up using Zoom. He had a corporate account for his company that could accommodate a lot of users. It was people from this forum that were connected by social media and/or email. It was fun to see faces and hear voices that you previously knew from screen names here, or reconnect with those you had met from previous offlines. There were some subsequent smaller offline gatherings, but the first one was really fun, if not a bit of a free for all. Might have been 40+ persons on the video call at one point, just drinking whatever wine they wanted and talking about whatever.

I have this type of zoom account.  I think I can accommodate 100-200 people for several hours.
I will look at my calendar and suggest an evening.  Perhaps a Sunday evening

or is that too likely to conflict with a sports event?

more like the previous ones was a running day of drinking where folks would literally log on see someoen there and say whats up.

There was a session that started at like 12pm EST and went to 3am EST for folks coming in and out and at one point 30+ people.

that made fridays better because I couldnt recall being able to wake up the following day after the 3am session drinking with the west coast guys

Three in the morning? Whoa.

lets do it on Saturday the 25th  of Feb (its open that bottle night as well)

I'm around!
