Oooh! A Skype broadcast? Include me in!

If anyone wants to join in on a possible Skype call, drop me an email so I can link ya to my Skye contact info.  I use it for work a lot - and when I get friend requests on there I don't add people unless I know for sure who they are.  Also - there's an account similar to mine that will NOT add you or get you connected with me.  wink  I use an alternate email on skype than the one you'll find me with at Chordie.  Soooo... drop an email!

Amy,

I don't use Skype due to the fact it drags down my machine's performance, but I guess I can install it and then uninstall it for that one day. Right?

Thanks

Re: Backyard Gathering 2015 - Chordie Friends

Well... I was thinking about it... and ya know what?  I probably won't have time to sit in front of the computer to do the whole skype thing back and forth and to and fro and such.  So... I'll try this instead:

Amy,

That sounds great (the live streaming), but if it has to be SKYPE, I would not be averse to being assigned a certain time to call. In short, I'd do anything short of dating Whoopi Goldberg to "be" with my Chordie Family. big_smile big_smile big_smile

I'm getting as excited as y'all are and I won't even be there in person!  <3.

Thanks

Re: Backyard Gathering 2015 - Chordie Friends

Whoopie called... lol!

I set the live stream for 7pm my time - I figure by then anyone that came just for the free food will be gone, we'll be done eating and ready for a few drinks and guitars.  Plus, once it gets dark, I'll have to shut it down.  This way - any camera shy people won't have to worry as it'll only be on for a short bit.  I'm expecting people to arrive around 1ish.  Looking at a group of 15-25 - corn on the cob and salt potatoes for all! 

I also want to just say publicly - my husband is THE BEST!  He's working his butt off all day, then coming home and working is butt off around this old house, and it's been pretty HOT in NY! The big ole wrap around porch is being redone NOW - to make this place more sturdy (we don't want the roof falling off on people) and to ensure safety on the steps, and look much better of course.  He was working on it slowly, but knowing people are coming has kicked things into overdrive.  I'm happy!  I love that guy!  AND the old barn is finally coming DOWN!  whooo hooo!  Super kudos to Jim for all his hard work in helping to make this house a home.

I decided last night that I need a beautiful sign made that reads, "Money Pit" for the front of my house (instead of our last name, I want to place it under the house numbers).  It's gotta be classy though, to match what this place will become, someday!  LMAO!

Backyard gathering pre-game starts around midnight tonight when Roger's flight makes it in from Portugal!  Here's wishing him safe travels.  It's going to be a loooooong day for him!

Re: Backyard Gathering 2015 - Chordie Friends

I saw where you guys were getting a laugh out of my Whoopi joke, so I am glad I won't have to make that decision due to Amy's setting up her live stream on YT. Thanks, Ms. Amy!

And y'all know what the difference is between a date with Whoopi and a bowling ball, right?

If you really really had to, you could eat a bowling ball.

I'm not sure I told that right......?

Re: Backyard Gathering 2015 - Chordie Friends

I decided to play the game, "Where in the world is Roger?"  Well... from tracking flights - assuming he got on them properly, Roger should currently be relaxing in NY City waiting for his last flight.  We'll be heading out in a couple hours (around the same time his flight does) to meet him on his final "leg of the race" (ever watch Amazing Race? LOL)

We'll get him back here and get him all tucked into a pretty pink room for the night.  smile

A PINK room, that will be something too tease him about besides whoopie. He wont care as he will most likely be very tired out.

The location was correct. The relaxing was most definitely not!! After being on my feet for 20 hours with very little sleep on the flight over the pond my final flight was delayed and hour and a half (on top of the 4 hours I was expecting). I was desperate to get some shuteye but dare not in case I missed the flight. lol

Thanks for the patience in waiting for me, Amy and Jim, and I did not notice that the room was pink. I will go and look now. big_smile

I guess we can post back and forth during that live stream, right? I hadn't thought of that. I was going to call, but this way no one's privacy has to be encroached upon by giving out someone's cell number! smile smile

Sometimes I just amaze myself that I can still come up with my own solutions, if I just continue to think about the problem a bit. Good ol
