Sorry to hear that, Whitney :(
I can organize it if people don't mind Pming me their Skype info (I won't use it for nefarious purposes, I promise :D) I haven't used a group call with Skype before, but I'm sure I can figure it out.

But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played.

I'll be there tomorrow for a little bit. I'll pm you my Skype info later DJ.

Have we agreed on a certain time yet? :)

How about 1 pm Eastern, which would be around Noonish central and... later for the over the seas folks.

It looks like we can get a group video call if one of us buys a "one day" premium Skype membership. It's only 4.99, so I don't mind doing it (it's less than I'd probably spend on a coffee, if we were all actually meeting in person anyway). If that's something people are interested in :)

How about we use some sort of global standard, like UTC?  ??? Everyone knows where they are in relation to UTC, right? So that we do not have to convert to and from some local time standards, yes? Would be nice, no?

It'd be 5:00 PM UTC
Here's a time zone converter, if that helps anyone.  :)

Thanks for doing this DJ.  If we decide to do more, I can fund one of the next ones!

Yeah, I'd be willing to chip in for a virtual meetup.

No worries! It'll be fun! 
Another FYI. For the group video to work, each person participating needs to have Skype 5.0 or higher. So, if you haven't upgraded Skype in a while, you may want to do that. It's free, but it could be another one of those pain-in-the-butt technical hick-ups if it isn't done beforehand. :)

Okay, this is going to sound really stupid, but what do I give you when I PM my Skype info? Do I send you my username or my number?

Can now see Ali and DJ on my profile  ;D

V5.8 so Ok on that front.

So DJ do we all have to buy the temp upgrade or just the 'host'?

Everyone needs version 5.0 of Skype or higher, but only one person needs to buy the premium membership for group chat to work for everyone.
Budhorse, your skype name is probably your best bet, since there should only be one user (you) with that name. :)
