*Hi George, * *It's been a while. Last time I was in SE Mass was, as I recall, in 2008, on the way back from the Azores. I'd like to offer a suggestion that might increase your turnout, particularly from the West Coast. How about scheduling the chat from 8-11 Est (5 - 8 PST). Some working people on the West Coast, particularly in large metropolitan areas are not even home by 7pm PST on work days. When Cheri and I were Chat Room hosts on AOL, we had the reverse problem since we are both on the west coast. * * Which reminds me of my most interesting "time zone" related chat room experiences. In 2002, the Artesia DES Filarmonica (of which both Cheri and I are members) Traveled to Terceira where we performed over a two week period in most villages on the island. On one of our regular AOL chat nights before getting to Terceira, I decided to particpate in the chat. The place where I was staying had dialup internet access so about 1 or 2 am, local (Azores time), I surprised Melody Lassalle (GFS Mel) who was hosting the AOL Portuguese chat that night. I popped into the AOL chat room and said something like "Greetings from Flores". I think I was as surprised as Mel was! ( A not so pleasant surprise was that upon check out, I had a long distance charge of about $30 added to my lodging bill for what was a 3 or 4 minute chat). Cheri, did I ever mention this to you? * *Regards, * *John Vasconcelos * *aka GFSJohnV. *
