Hi Amber,
MozartMaid and I have already been communicating behind the scenes about the BNA award.
Being able to pass the torch along is an honour I am very much looking forward to, and I am sure that MozartMaid feels the same way.
Joy,
Lynn

I will be out of town that weekend!  But if you can let me know the time, I will try to participate if at all possible.

We have a tentative time of 6 pm. So get ready for fun and frolics. Is anybody pregnant?  If you have never presented before, we encourage you to do so. It's fun and easy!

Actually, it is Daylight Savings Time in the US now. So it is 6 p.m. EDT 3 p.m. PDT and the inbetweeners can figure it out. Use this for ROW (Rest of World) http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc r/ Time Nerd

Aww! I'd love to attend, but Sunday the 15th is the Greek Orthodox Easter Sunday, and this means that during its early hours (that the ceremony falls onto) I'll be at church first, and then at a family dinner which I can't avoid - and, given that I'll be coming from a week of fasting, I won't want to avoid either.  I'll keep an eye on this thread and pick out something to prepare for the ceremony, though. 
What we've got here is failure to communicate...

I'd love to come, but my son's been invited to a birthday party at that time, my husband has to work, and I still haven't been able to take time away from writing my current story to figure out how to IRC Maybe if I have time I'll write up and submit a possible commercial in advance (those were hilarious when I read them from the 2010 ceremony). If I'm allowed to do this, to whom should I send it? EDIT: ooops!  Sorry, you've already answered that question above. Never mind.

Virginia, go to http://www.mirc.com/ and all the information is there. I'll be there, and so will a lot of the people you see on the boards. It's a great time every year. We'd love to see you there.

What channel do we select?
Is it all text or is it audio as well?

The Kerths are on #kerthchat and #kerthawards, I think, unless it has been changed this year. I'm not absolutely sure because for some reason my saved data for my favorite mirc channels has vanished. I'm sure all the info will be posted, especially for those who are new to the channels.
Most of the action takes place as text, but there are sound effects as well. Come by on Saturday and find out!

<<sigh>> I'm going to have to give in and join this, aren't I? I really can't afford another time-eater... but I definitely don't want to miss this! So I'm going to do this at some point today/tomorrow... Just to clarify, what exactly is invovled with presenting and commercials? I'm hoping to attend, and depending on how  my schedule this week gets, I may or may not be able to volunteer for something. But I would like some more details on that front <<cough, cough, NEWB>>

For presenting, you'd write a speech to present the nominees, receive a message with the winner from K-Comm (usually me), and then announce the winner. You can see some previous ceremony transcripts here and here , to see what some of the other presenters have done.
