16:14:27 [MissParker] well let's get to the agenda...

16:15:02 [KrisRussel] ok

16:15:52 [MissParker] Sim updates

16:16:20 [MissParker] I have 15 sigs!

16:16:42 [KrisRussel] waw MP, great

16:16:43 [MissParker] And I just got permission to sign another person's name for him... that will make it 16.

16:16:52 [KrisRussel] whoohoo

16:17:02 [mattali] Wow, 15 sigs!! Good going, Miss Parker!

16:17:32 [MissParker] And then I'll get one more ...since i have some time to play with...ty kris and mattali!

16:17:55 [mattali] I didn't have my act together when we signed with Melissa or we would have had another 6. Silly me!

16:18:21 [mattali] Ok, what's on the agenda today?

16:18:23 [MissParker] I won't be sending it off too soon, depending on what the post office says about how long it will take to get to Australia...because Cate won't be at home til June 2nd.

16:19:18 [mattali] Ah, what is Cate's computer name?

16:19:41 [MissParker] Oh.....don't feel bad about it mattali...for the real thing...it's more important for the real thing!!

16:21:04 [MissParker] AnastaciaBeaverhoussen (Anastacia16)

16:21:05 [mattali] Thanks for the name...I plan to have all my ducks in a row for the real GGL!

16:21:25 [MissParker] good!

16:22:44 [MissParker] Sim 2...

16:23:03 [mattali] Ok...Sim 2!

16:23:42 [KrisRussel] yes, sim 2... how is my baby??

16:25:28 [MissParker] right...it's on the way to Vania now!

16:25:59 [Ruben20] How long do you think it'll be until sim 1 and 2 cross path?

16:26:08 [MissParker] i think Jazzy said your baby looked to be in good condition, kris!

16:26:23 [MissParker] good question Ruben...!

16:26:33 [KrisRussel] great, thx MP

16:27:21 [MissParker] i think maybe UK....or maybe after...

16:27:59 [mattali] When I looked at the path, I thought it was going to be awhile yet before they crossed paths.

16:28:16 [mattali] In what country is Vania?

16:28:53 [MissParker] yes....you may be right mattali...Portugal

16:29:43 [mattali] Ah, it's on its way to Portugal! Yippee!

16:30:21 [MissParker] i think it's UK for Sim 2...that should be when everyone has handled at least one Sim...

16:31:12 [KrisRussel] cool

16:32:26 [Ruben20] How are things coming along with the letters that was sent out to the different Fox adresses?

16:32:45 [mattali] I haven't heard anything via email or snail mail on the ones I sent.

16:32:58 [MissParker] I have not had any replies...redneterp should have sent out another letter recently...

16:34:02 [MissParker] Melissa says she has to send some out...I think...

16:34:31 [Ruben20] That part concerns me a bit. Large corporations can use a long time to reply, if they even bother to.

16:34:31 [KrisRussel] haven't heard anything either

16:34:38 [MissParker] mattali, did you get a chance to set up your new email addy yet?

16:36:04 [mattali] No, I haven't. The last I knew I had not received an invite.

16:36:05 [MissParker] i only ask because I have not been able to send email from that account yet...I have not tried sending email to the address yet, but I will so I will see if it will show up in my inbox.

16:36:53 [MissParker] yes, next time you chat with Melissa, let her know that the control panel is admin only and I am not admin so I can't send you an invite...although I think I did put that in a reply at Fox somewhere...

16:38:01 [mattali] Thanks, Miss Parker. Melissa said she would send me an invite, but I haven't had a chance to check my email yet.

16:38:29 [mattali] Oh, MissPJ is going to join us...how nice!

16:39:45 [MissParker] i thought so....

16:40:29 [MissPJ] the chat wouldnt show up on AOL at all, no matter what room i tried, so I got on IE and it worked...weird, but I am here now! lol

16:40:31 [MissParker] MissPJ, we're just running through the agenda....we will get to videos in a bit...unless you are in a hurry and we can change the agenda...we're flexible...

16:41:05 [MissParker] that's weird MissPJ....but good to know...I'll remember to put that in a note whenever I post the url to the chat! thanks for telling us!

16:41:26 [MissParker] Actually...it is the next on the agenda...

16:42:00 [MissPJ] kk, i am not in a hurry, so not need to change the agenda

16:42:10 [MissParker] But to close off the email domain discussions...kris, you have the honor of selecting a name for yourself as the rep for Belgium...so what will it be?

16:42:17 [MissParker] cool MissPJ

16:43:01 [KrisRussel] gosh... I dunno... what did the other reps choose??

16:43:21 [MissParker] the name is needed for the email address...NorwayDivision was Ruben's I believe, was it not?

16:43:35 [MissParker] mattali is Secretary@

16:43:49 [MissParker] And we gave Q a special title of TeenRepUSA@

16:43:52 [Ruben20] Right

16:44:10 [KrisRussel] lol, good title for Q

16:44:12 [MissParker] MissPJ...were you the one who asked me about representing the midwest?

16:44:18 [MissParker] yes I thought so kris!

16:44:29 [MissPJ] no, i am on the east cost, lol

16:44:44 [MissParker] lol ok...nope i found the email now...lol

16:45:11 [KrisRussel] can I have until thursday to think about it?? My mind isn't really working at full right now

16:45:13 [MissParker] We should figure out a title for you too...so you can be the rep for the east...

16:45:50 [MissParker] yes kris, you can...

16:46:12 [KrisRussel] thx

16:46:15 [MissPJ] ok, can i have time too then, lol, i suck at coming up with things like that

16:46:34 [MissParker] sure no problem

16:48:32 [MissParker] oh before we move on...LJ login...it's week 4...kris will you do the honors?

16:48:36 [KrisRussel] thx matt... just have a massive headache and muscle aches... I just need to rest... and take painkillers

16:48:41 [KrisRussel] ok

16:48:56 [MissParker] it's supposed to be Angel, but she's not around...did you login last week?

16:49:12 [MissParker] i aske Ruben fill in for you, in case you didn't

16:49:38 [MissParker] He's a trustworthy little boy you know!

16:49:52 [Ruben20]

16:50:04 [KrisRussel] I logged in...

16:50:08 [Quibus]

16:50:13 [mattali] Yes, he is!!!

16:50:17 [MissParker]

16:50:29 [Ruben20] 

16:50:50 [KrisRussel] I didn't... if you guys don't remind me... I forget about it... I'd bang my haed for it's stupid memory, but it would just hurt to much

16:51:03 [MissParker] lol don't bang your head kris!

16:51:22 [mattali] Yes, Kris, no head-banging, please!

16:51:30 [MissParker] i didn't really think you'd remember...i'd forget most things if i didn't have constant reminders!

16:51:36 [mattali] We need you to have your wits about you as soon as possible!

16:51:51 [MissParker] yes...we do!

16:52:06 [KrisRussel] it'll be better soon... no work means a lot of rest

16:52:17 [MissParker] Right...we need to speed up...next is: Making vids with campaign messages

16:52:31 [MissParker] yes kris & that's very verrry good!

16:52:55 [KrisRussel] thx ... Syd

16:53:14 [Ruben20] Videos with campaign messages does that mean that the vids are aimed at people already familiar with the show?

16:53:16 [KrisRussel] oh yes... read about that... sounds good

16:53:22 [mattali] Ok, what about the vids?

16:53:29 [MissParker] yw kris!  So...anyway...making vids is the main thing that MissPJ is interested in...remember last week redneterp mentioned making vids with messages to support our campaign?

16:54:10 [MissParker] we need to throw out ideas for MissPJ to make some vids...and get anyone else who might be able to make vids to make them....

16:55:07 [MissPJ] yeah I just need an idea of what we want and what campaign info we are putting in there

16:56:12 [KrisRussel] We need more The Pretender! and a link to the forum... can't we make a tinyurl for that? the full link is kinda long to put in a vid...

16:56:25 [MissParker] redneterp mentioned a "Calling ALL Pretender Fans to Action" message

16:56:42 [MissParker] yes...will the tiny url come with a frame though?

16:57:46 [KrisRussel] no idea MP...

16:57:49 [MissParker] we could mention some projects they should look to participte in like the Bulletins, red notebook and the longest thread...what else?

16:58:07 [MissPJ] a link to the Fox Forum I am assuming, I am not quite sure how that works, but I can look into it

16:58:31 [MissParker] ohh...you mean an actual clickable link?

16:58:50 [MissParker] we could also put the campaign site: http://www.thepretenderfans.com

16:59:07 [MissParker] maybe on a different vid...if not on the same video

16:59:10 [KrisRussel] that'll work too

16:59:18 [MissPJ] I dont know if you can do a clickable link or not, i will see

16:59:34 [KrisRussel] even better actually... people will be able to remember that

16:59:36 [MissParker] we definitely need to mention that SciFi may be interested...and we need numbers to convince them

16:59:49 [KrisRussel] it's impossible to make a clickable link in a vid...

16:59:57 [MissParker] we can also mention, sending letters and emails to fox addresses

17:00:24 [MissParker] ok kris...thanks for letting us know!

17:00:43 [MissParker] we definitely need a memorable url then!

17:00:46 [Ruben20] We need information. We want to attract as much attention as possible - including the non-so-orthodox pretender fans. The average joe who followed the show, but not with as much addiction as us. Not everybody knows about the cancellation or even the two movies.

17:00:47 [mattali] Another thing we need to encourage people to do is to leave comments in every store they enter that sells DVD's asking for The Pretender Seasons and Movies. That's a cost-free activity and only takes a few minutes to do.

17:00:49 [Ruben20] If they were informed of some of the details around that, more attention could be brought on to "the cause".

17:01:15 [MissParker] although...i think there are some fans who saw the Fox url on videos and came to the forum....

17:01:35 [MissParker] yes mattali... good idea!

17:01:52 [MissParker] Also a good idea Ruben!

17:02:03 [mattali] Yes, I believe that's true, Miss Parker, about the Forum gaining members through the videos.

17:02:25 [MissParker] I absolutely agree, there are a lot of those around that we need to rope in and can if we get their attention....

17:02:28 [MissPJ] yeah, thats how i learned about the forum, from Stuckherewithnotv's video

17:02:46 [mattali] Well, MissPJ, are you getting all this? I hope you can use these ideas.

17:03:02 [KrisRussel] those vids are amazing

17:03:09 [mattali] Has she done any videos lately?

17:03:22 [MissParker] great MissPJ! so...it's working already...we just have to attract even more fans...

17:03:27 [mattali] She used to post at CPF, but I haven't seen anything of her for months.

17:03:36 [MissParker] i have no idea...

17:03:42 [MissPJ] I am going to copy and paste it for me to look at, lol and see what I can do

17:04:11 [mattali]  Good idea, MissPJ!

17:04:13 [MissPJ] I think the last one she did was a month ago, that Ever The Same video where she put links to the myspace and the fox forum

17:04:29 [MissParker] I will email you more ideas later...hopefully...will post them at the forum too....

17:05:14 [MissPJ] ok, so are the videos just going to be writing? or have clips in there also, and what about music?

17:05:33 [mattali] Ok, I haven't seen that one by her...haven't watched vids recently.

17:05:52 [mattali] Put in clips, too...makes it more watchable!

17:05:53 [KrisRussel] I'd stick with tP music for those vids

17:06:03 [MissParker] if anyone has more ideas...please post them at Fox....in the Calling All Video Artist thread...or maybe you can start a new one...there's one for video ideas...is there not?

17:06:05 [KrisRussel] and of course clips too

17:06:25 [MissParker] MissPJ...it's up to you...I think they will have more impact with clips....

17:06:56 [MissPJ] yeah i think so too, clips are good

17:07:08 [MissPJ] so like the opening music is what you want me to use?

17:07:29 [mattali] Yes, and I think that Kris is right about putting them to Pretender music. It will ring a bell for old fans.

17:07:46 [MissParker] yes PJ...opening music sounds great

17:07:46 [KrisRussel] yeah, opening music, or other pieces from the soundtrack...

17:08:08 [mattali] I'd say you could use any of the music you have access to...all the sound track was certainly listenable!!!

17:08:40 [MissPJ] I have no clue what else is on the soundtrack, so if anyone could help me out there, it would be appreciated

17:08:42 [MissParker] True!

17:09:00 [MissParker] you mean you haven't heard the soundtrack?

17:09:16 [MissPJ] nope

17:09:17 [MissParker] i used to have the clips...but i don't know....

17:09:20 [mattali] Isn't there a place where you can download it from the Internet?

17:09:33 [KrisRussel] I'll see if I can send you some usable pieces...

17:09:36 [MissParker] yeah...i think there is mattali...

17:09:50 [mattali] Quibus sent me a CD of it...don't know where she got it from, though.

17:09:50 [MissParker] good kris!

17:10:19 [mattali] Maybe I'll listen to it right now, and cheer myself up a bit!

17:10:37 [MissParker] Sounds like a good plan mattali! ok...can we wrap up quickly with "Bulletins"? ...i need to leave...

17:10:52 [KrisRussel] ok, I'll listen to the soundtrack again and send you the most usable ones...

17:11:01 [KrisRussel] ok MP

17:11:08 [MissPJ] thanks guys

17:11:29 [MissParker] yw MissPJ!

17:11:52 [MissParker] Ok...has anyone posted bulletins but not logged them at Fox yet?

17:12:07 [mattali] All right, Miss Parker...I've only found grocery stores here where the public is allowed to post things...haven't been to the library though.

17:12:27 [mattali] I will try to check tomorrow on my way to the bank.

17:12:31 [KrisRussel] no, not yet

17:12:33 [Ruben20] I have to go. One last thing, i recommend that you start the video with a summary so that people can familiarize with the show in case they haven't seen it in a while.

17:12:36 [MissParker] we need to log the ones we post...it serves to inspire others...and helps us to remember what we need to be doing!

17:12:56 [KrisRussel] PJ, how much Mb can you receive??

17:13:02 [MissParker] ok Ruben.... sounds like good advice...ttys

17:13:18 [mattali] Yes, definitely post at the Forum when you post at a store. It does encourage others to do the same!

17:13:21 [MissPJ] i'm not sure, i have a gmail account that can accept more

17:13:32 [MissParker] ok mattali...hope you find some other places!

17:13:36 [KrisRussel] oh, goody, gmail

17:14:04 [MissParker] does gmail have any limits? lol

17:14:12 [mattali] I do too, haven't stopped looking and haven't given up hope!

17:14:24 [MissParker] and mattali, don't forget the library!

17:14:41 [MissParker] good!! hope springs eternal!

17:15:23 [MissParker] ok, i have to run away now...have fun continuing the discussion if you like...or adjourn to IRC...saves on bandwidth! http://www.ircatwork.com is working again

17:15:30 [KrisRussel] from gmail to gmail I think around 50Mb... not sure though...

17:16:02 [MissParker] ok ttys everyone! bye!

17:16:52 [mattali] I won't forget the library!
