Way back when I was soliciting Supporter memberships back in December, one of the perks of membership that I promised was monthly live chats with me about whatever y’all wanted to talk about. (Presumably something related to stadium and arena funding, but if somebody wants to discuss the relative merits of Feelies albums, I’m game.) I spent some time looking at chat plugins, most of which seem to be designed for people doing online tech support, then eventually got distracted by reporting stadium news and didn’t get back to it.
Anyway, I’ve decided enough fumfering around: This Friday, I’ll be conducting a members-only chat from noon to 1 pm Eastern time, on this site. To make things simple, the chat will be conducted in the comments section of a password-protected post (password will be emailed out to Supporters momentarily), and will afterwards be archived for all to see.
So as not to leave non-Supporters out, you can play along by submitting topics for discussion in the comments section of this post, and I’ll do my best to address them as time allows on Friday. Unless we get caught up in heated The Good Earth vs. Crazy Rhythms debates, in which case all bets are off.
So anything goes as far as the topics go?
How about the artistic merits of the “Hello Kitty” video by Avril Lavigne?
At the risk of being banned… The Feelies are kinda overrated. For VU knockoffs that are more strum than noise, Luna is a way better option.
Dammit. When I heard about the perks, I just assumed I was getting a free taxpayer funded stadium… sorry Neil, away Friday… hopefully it will be an interesting discussion and I can read about it after the fact.
I am assuming that you have already emailed the password to Supporters. So if I signup to be a supporter before Friday 1PM EDT, can I get the password?
Scott: For you, sure!
Anyone else: For you, sure!
Neil,
Thanks for the preferential treatment. Please send me the password at your convenience.
Thanks.
Oops, I let my club membership expire. Re-signed up (even if I can’t make Friday’s chat due to work commitments). I’ll be there for next month.
