This is a forum for general discussion of dogsled racing, with a special focus on Alaska, and is open to all. It is expected that this area will see the most activity during the months leading up to, and during the annual Iditarod sled dog race. Pictures from races can be posted here.

CHAT/TRIVIA April 2nd-1PMAT,2PT,3MT,4CT,5ET,10UK,11NO

Postby emwcee » Tue Jun 24, 2008 8:11 pm

MODERATOR'S NOTE:

The chats are currently taking place the last Sunday of every month at 12 noon Alaska Time (1PT, 2MT, 3CT, 4ET, 9UK, 10NO).

The months that we have chat and trivia, the chat will be at 12AT and the trivia will start an hour later.


:arrow: :arrow: The link to our chat room is at the top of the forum under "Announcements".

Do we want to meet at the same time, kind of a vicarious party? Is there any chance someone might be at the picnic with a laptop who could join us for chat with a commentary? Or is there radio coverage? Just a thought. I was thinking we could meet at 12:30 Alaska time. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

When do they announce who has signed up? I don't remember how it works from last year? Do we find out right away or do we wait until Monday to find out who signed up? I guess another idea would be to chat after we've found who has signed up, but I'm not sure when that will be.

I have plans at 4:00 p.m. Alaska time -- a "game night" with family and friends, so I'd prefer that we meet before then. But end up meeting then, I might be able to get away and join you all for an hour of chat. I'd love to talk to everyone again, if it works out.

Any other input?

Just give me an idea of the time and I'll try to be there.

Great idea, Emwcee. It's going to be a busy weekend, what with having already made commitments to be "here, there, and everywhere" at some point over Friday thru Sunday. But if you post a time and I'm home I'll pop in to chat. I'm anxious to see how the drawing process goes and who's likely to be on the trail in March.

Motor, thanks for letting us know that Robert will be traveling to the picnic. He's as determined to get on the trail as he is to get down the trail! Kudos to the tough and determined Robert and teammates.

Now, let the race begin--or at least the race to the race! 8-)

Well, we are having computer problems at the moment. However, I think I can get someplace where I can use a computer if I know ahead of time. Let's plan it for 1 p.m. Alaska Time on Saturday, June 28. I will try to get to a computer -- however, it may be a computer that cuts in and out -- like Tanglefoot's. Remember that late-night chat? It will probably be only an hour or so, but it would be good to get together. If computer problems prevent me from being there, I will be thinking of you all.

Great idea ems and 1AT (4CT) sounds good to me. I'm not positive I can make it, but the afternoon is a better bet than later in the evening.

I'll change the title of this thread to make it reflective of the date and time. If it needs to be changed again, any of the mods can fix it.

Here's my go-to time chart. It's come in handy as I just don't fathom time so well--well, anything associated with numbers, really! :oops: But I can smell--oops! I mean I can spell! I can't type, but I can spell pretty good! I may look like a moose, but no one has ever told me I smell like a moose! :lol: :lol:

I'm going to try like mad to be at the party. Hope a goodly number of you guys can make it.
