Carol and I are in #loisclark most of the time... at least, logged in. If we don't say anything, just wait awhile.

Oh, and we still need more presenters. Oh, yes, please!  I posted on FB so maybe some folks will see this there that don't see it here!

If you still need presenters, I'm willing to do either Best Short or Best Waffy - whichever isn't taken.

Still need to check schedules on attendance at the awards ceremony, but...  24 weeks and counting. It was very unexpected (especially since my son just turned 11), but very welcome. If you're looking for someone to keep up with the "going-into-labor" tradition, keep on looking.  B

We have a tentative time of 6 pm. So get ready for fun and frolics. Is anybody pregnant?  Unfortunately, not me. I had hoped to be though!

6 PM EDT - that's midnight for me. And, considering the ceremony usually takes a good 3 hours or so... sorry, I need to pass this year. For those of you who need a pointer as to when it's 6 PM EDT: Look at the following dragon sprite. If it shows up in blue, it's between 6 PM and 5:59 AM. ![[Linked Image]](http://dragcave.net/image/3YXM8.gif) (Just don't ask...)

Do we still need a password to join the #loisclark IRC? I'm hanging out in another empty room again or it still doesn't work. (This is what happened for the Tempus actor chat as well  and I refuse to pay money for a service/IRC if I can't get it to work once!) EDIT: Mrs. Luthor explained to me that I don't have to pay for MIRC. Phew! Just hit continue until it bypasses that screen.

There's no password for #loisclark. Make sure that you're joining an undernet.org server. You can use us.undernet.org or eu.undernet.org and it will connect to a random undernet server. If you're not sure, try /msg BriGal Help! (my normal IRC nick). If it says nick doesn't exist, you're not on undernet.  If it opens a chat and I don't respond, I'm probably just away from my keyboard for a bit.

Thanks for your help, Karen, Mrs. Luthor hunted me down and found me twiddling my thumbs and sinking in quicksand over on Quakenet.

Hey, congrats BJ!  But I'm all for the new tradition of *no* labor during the ceremony! I have contacted everyone who volunteered to present. Or, at least I'm pretty sure I did. If you volunteered and haven't heard from me, please let me know! There are still some categories available, so let me know if you'd like to claim one! Otherwise, you'll be hearing a lot of me during the ceremony, and no one really wants that. Amber

7 AM GMT (which would be 8 AM around where Michael and I live) would be adequate payback - but why would we want to get up that early on a Saturday morning? If you could just move the ceremony 2 or 3 hours forward, we'd be served quite well. (Staying up a little longer than midnight is no big deal, after all.)

It will be a late night. But a fun one! 
Reach for the moon, for even if you fail, you'll still land among the stars... and who knows? Maybe you'll meet Superman along the way.

7am GMT? Ech! I dunno about the others on the committee, but 2am Eastern is just a tad too late for me! 8pm GMT, maybe, but not 7am!

Originally, the Kerth time was set to benefit US FoLCs, because they were in the majority. However, over the years, things seem to have balanced out more. Perhaps it's time to consider turn and turn about on an annual basis? Have a time to suit the US one year, then one to suit the bulk of the non-US FoLCs the next and alternate as you go? Of course, you wouldn't be able to suit everyone outside the US, some are, unfortunately, always going to miss out. But something that doesn't always disadvantage those outside the US, but sometimes makes things just a little more even might be beneficial and help more people attend? If only half the time. Just an idea. Off the top of my head. Might not even be logistically possible... But figured I'd toss it on out there anyway. LabRat

I figured since this year's was going to be in the middle of the night for our European friends, the same alternative, would be for next year's to be in the middle of the night for us here in the US. I was only joking. But 7pm GMT might work too (so it's not too late for those in Eastern Europe). Of course, wouldn't it then be in the middle of the night for our Australian and Asian Pacific friends? LabRat's right, you can't save everybody!
