15:11:36 [MissParker] You guys didn't even remind me....we keep forgetting about the Milk Carton project!

15:12:03 [MissParker] we have to discuss that...

15:12:18 [MissParker] Anyway, agenda is: 1) Sims update

15:12:25 [MissParker] 2) Scifi letters

15:12:43 [MissParker] 3) Wandering Rednotebooks (cover, contents, links)/Anniversary challenge

15:12:44 [krisrussel] milk carton project??

15:12:57 [MissParker] 4) Bulletins, Milk Carton & Diggs

15:13:20 [MissParker] Yep....we discussed it probably a month or more ago...chat transcript would have it...

15:13:31 [MissParker] You know...the face on the Milk Carton?

15:13:39 [MissParker] Missing persons

15:13:39 [Quibus] I remember talk of it.

15:13:51 [MissParker] Whew! Somebody remembers!

15:14:36 [krisrussel] ah, right... we don't do that in Europe...

15:14:37 [Quibus] but I haven't seen a milk carton in about a bajillion years so... I dunno if I'll be able to help with that project.

15:15:05 [MissParker] what do you mean? Don't they use milk cartons any more?

15:15:10 [krisrussel] I very vaguely remember something once said about it...

15:15:21 [Quibus] nope.

15:15:25 [krisrussel] yeah, but they don't stick faces on it... not here anyway...

15:15:38 [MissParker] Well, I guess we may have to put that one on the backburner for a while...in case we can figure out how to work around it....

15:16:11 [MissParker] Well, it doesn't matter if they don't stick faces on it kris, because the people we're sending them to, would know the significance of faces on a milk carton

15:17:03 [MissParker] so, if you have them to use, that would be great...except you are so far away, only if you're coming to the USA, so you can bring the empty cartons....

15:17:37 [krisrussel] ok

15:17:38 [MissParker] but anyway, I think we should focus on the challenge for the red notebooks for 11th anniversary of tP

15:19:41 [krisrussel] yup

15:19:42 [MissParker] Sims update

15:19:44 [Quibus] is that the bookcrossings one?

15:19:47 [MissParker] If anyone notices Leanda around some forums...please ask about Sim 2....

15:19:57 [MissParker] Yes that's right Q

15:20:07 [MissParker] Are you volunteering by the way....?

15:20:33 [Quibus] I see no way around it.

15:21:02 [krisrussel] :^)

15:21:13 [MissParker]  Oh good!

15:21:34 [MissParker] Do you all need instructions on how to make a red notebook?

15:21:59 [Quibus] yep.

15:22:03 [Ruben20] Are we going to make red notebooks?

15:22:52 [MissParker] yes we are....will you be the volunteer for Norway Ruben?

15:23:32 [Ruben20] Sure, send me the recipe

15:23:55 [krisrussel] quick question, if there's one link we can mention on the radio, wich is the best one??

15:24:49 [krisrussel] yes MP, instructions for the notebooks would be good...

15:25:33 [MissParker] good question....one link...depends on what you say I think....if you're just talking of tP in general, and if it has to be now, then Fox forum is the best link.

15:26:02 [MissParker] When we launch the campaign site...and if you're going to mention the campaign: then that link would be best

15:26:55 [krisrussel] nope, a buddy of mine is coming on the radio tonight... I want to try to give him a link to our cause...

15:27:28 [krisrussel] so it's kinda urgent ;^)

15:28:31 [MissParker] ok then use the Fox forum link....the campaign site is not yet launched...unless you want to give the current campaign site...

15:28:45 [krisrussel] just as long as the link is easy...

15:28:52 [Quibus] fox forum is probably the best.

15:29:14 [MissParker] thepretenderfans.com is easiest but it's expiring next month...

15:29:38 [krisrussel] *sighs*

15:29:42 [MissParker] what exactly would he say?

15:30:23 [krisrussel] not a lot prolly, just point attention to us in one or two sentences...

15:30:39 [krisrussel] I'll take thepretenderfans.com link... easiest...

15:31:35 [MissParker] ok kris...that's cool...

15:32:03 [MissParker] btw, all Diggers: there's a nice article that supports our cause that we need to Digg: http://www.digg.com/television/Reflections_on_NBC_s_The_Pretender

15:35:17 [Quibus] dugg.

15:36:31 [krisrussel] I dugg it... and commented :^)

15:37:11 [MissParker] yay!

15:37:39 [krisrussel] :^)

15:37:47 [MissParker] I'm updating the current activities on the campaign site kris, so at least it will have all new info for newbie visitors.

15:39:37 [krisrussel] thx... I hope my buddy can say something on the air about us...

15:40:38 [MissParker] yeah i hope so too. thanks for trying anyway!

15:41:53 [krisrussel] yw... it's for a good cause ;^)

15:43:25 [MissParker] So...about this Red Notebook challenge....what do you all think of me submitting it as an article on Bookcrossing.com? Should I? Or do we just announce it among ourselves and do the "release" on the day of the anniversary, using the bookcrossing site to register releases and follow progress etc?

15:44:07 [Quibus] dunno

15:44:23 [MissParker] If I submit it as an article there is a chance that more new people can see it and join in...and there is also the chance that we don't get enough people to do anything and it "falls flat" ...

15:45:18 [Ruben20] It wouldn't hurt. If you have the time and know what to say, i say go ahead.

15:45:27 [krisrussel] hmm... not an easy choice

15:47:07 [MissParker] well, i did post my "proposed" article at Fox...so you guys can take a look...and tell me what you think...just post a response there, or in the thread about it at the Sim...

15:49:16 [krisrussel] ok

15:52:33 [MissParker] ok Ruben, kris

15:55:06 [MissParker] Scifi letters....we need volunteers for daily emails...did you already "sign up" for that kris?

15:55:39 [MissParker] Oh you know...I think I will ask mattali to send you two SASE's so you can send a Scifi snail mail letter as well...what do you think about that?

15:55:54 [MissParker] both you and Ruben that is...

15:56:25 [MissParker] Q, would you like to be on the roster for Scifi daily emails?

15:57:15 [krisrussel] ok for me

15:58:56 [MissParker] ok for the two SASEs or for the Scifi daily email roster or both?

15:59:32 [krisrussel] I had already given my ok for the list ;^)

15:59:58 [MissParker] ok good...I thought so ...but I wasn't sure....

16:00:12 [krisrussel] :^)

16:00:16 [MissParker] I should have made the roster right away...too many things in my little head!

16:01:45 [krisrussel] problem sounds familiiar ;^)

16:09:26 [MissParker] Do you have anything to add re the content of the red notebooks other than what was posted?

16:10:37 [krisrussel] nope, not right now

16:14:28 [MissParker] ok

16:15:13 [MissParker] just want to remind you both to try and post some bulletins....q, are there any boards at school? ....although I know school is out now...

16:16:14 [krisrussel] yup, I try to remember

16:17:00 [krisrussel] reaction from my buddy: I'll pass it on... I'm 90% certain it'll be no problem (unless he's doing an interview) around 8:00 EST.

16:17:26 [Quibus] no boards at school.

16:17:27 [krisrussel] so hopefully we'll be on the air around 8 PM EST :^)

16:18:11 [MissParker] yay kris!

16:18:23 [MissParker] is that the link that's in your gmail profile right now?

16:18:41 [MissParker] I'll try to listen for it...

16:18:46 [krisrussel] hehe, yeah :^D

16:19:08 [krisrussel] my buddy's name is DJ Mr. Bill...

16:19:43 [krisrussel] so if John (the presenter) says anything about Bill, it means we could be mentioned soon...

16:19:51 [krisrussel] :^)

16:20:47 [MissParker] ahhh...

16:20:49 [MissParker] cool!

16:21:46 [MissParker] ok Q...what do you think about hi5...do you think you can tolerate it enough to post a classified there?

16:22:42 [Quibus] huh?

16:23:38 [krisrussel] lol

16:24:12 [MissParker] hi5.com

16:24:19 [MissParker] Try it out!

16:24:22 [krisrussel] is our MySpace link somewhere clearly visible on thepretenderfans.com ?

16:25:17 [MissParker] oh...i don't think so...gotta change that...thanks for the reminder!

16:25:41 [Quibus] I don't like the look of it.

16:25:51 [MissParker] http://www.hi5.com/friend/displayClassifieds.do?service=generic&method=details&postid=1954026550 can you see the ad?

16:26:01 [MissParker] C'mon Q...it's for a worthy cause!

16:26:07 [MissParker] Just try it...

16:27:17 [Quibus] can't. it's against my policy.

16:28:07 [MissParker] what policy is that?

16:28:15 [MissParker] hello BringbackJ!

16:28:24 [BringBackJ] Hey, real people!

16:28:38 [Quibus] hello

16:28:47 [Quibus] the policy of no sites like that.

16:28:58 [BringBackJ] hehe (I always seem to arrive when its empty)

16:29:27 [MissParker] I understand your policy.....but i'm not asking you to interact...just post the ad!! like hit and run.... lol

16:30:31 [MissParker] no chat time is 4:00 on the dot...!

16:30:42 [MissParker] on Thursdays and 3:00 pm Tuesdays

16:31:01 [krisrussel] 3 PM on tuesday

16:31:16 [BringBackJ] and now being '4.30'...so its halfway through right? Just so I can calculate it next time!

16:31:43 [krisrussel] it's almost over I'm afraid

16:33:32 [krisrussel] BBJ, from where are you??

16:33:33 [MissParker] btw BBJ, did you ever Demand your closure? http://eventful.com/demand/D0-001-000193652-5

16:33:41 [MissParker] New Zealand

16:33:51 [BringBackJ] its still nice to meet you guys in real time

16:34:10 [MissParker] yes and it's nice to chat with you too!

16:34:26 [BringBackJ] I did indeed! *But clicking the link anyway coz its so exciting*

16:34:29 [Quibus] I agree

16:34:37 [MissParker] Q, will you please try to post the bulletins on hi5?

16:34:38 [Quibus] are you at Fox?

16:34:46 [MissParker] lol I agree BBJ!

16:34:54 [Quibus] MP, it's against my policy!

16:35:07 [BringBackJ] wow 187 now! yay

16:35:12 [krisrussel] New Zealand? Waw... what time is it there now??

16:35:29 [MissParker] yeah! the number is increasing slowly!

16:35:41 [BringBackJ] its ah...9.35 am. I am in my PJs

16:35:52 [krisrussel] lol

16:36:11 [MissParker] Oh, btw, BBJ, there's another Digg article to Digg: http://www.digg.com/television/Reflections_on_NBC_s_The_Pretender

16:36:13 [Quibus] wow!

16:36:17 [BringBackJ] I think my husband thinks I've lost it...

16:36:30 [BringBackJ] ooh ooh!

16:36:36 [MissParker] oh well!

16:37:14 [MissParker] You're so enthusiastic! I love that!

16:44:01 [MissParker] So....to summarise....I have started a thread for volunteers for the new project: Lost/Wandering Red Notebooks....we have to settle on a title....

16:45:03 [MissParker] Pick a title people! Lost or Wandering or other?

16:45:12 [MissParker] for the Red Notebooks

16:45:47 [MissParker] Ordinarily I wouldn't mind calling it both...but it's not good for PR to have long names!

16:45:49 [Quibus] dunno. they are both equally qualified.

16:46:17 [BringBackJ] hmm well they both fit well, but lost is easier to type lol

16:46:22 [MissParker] yes they are Q...but you can never choose anyway!

16:46:55 [MissParker] Thanks BBJ! ...ok we have a vote for Lost...and I'm kinda partial to short names myself...for the same reason...

16:47:42 [BringBackJ] even for short! Its easier to say LRN than DOUBLEYOU RN

16:47:44 [MissParker] Except...they're not really lost though...but I think we can get away with the "technicality" if we say they're Jarod's lost notebooks in the description....right?

16:47:54 [krisrussel] I go for 'Lost'

16:49:25 [MissParker] ok...we'll go with "Lost Red Notebooks" then....

16:49:46 [BringBackJ] oh...yes to your long sentence MP

16:50:19 [MissParker] good!

16:50:26 [BringBackJ] It seems that some ppl gettin quite confused by the whole bookcrossing thing...

16:50:36 [BringBackJ] i'm not sure how to explain it more simply!

16:51:30 [MissParker] So we have a Lost Red Notebooks project - in planning that will incorporate a Red Notebooks Release Challenge....for the 11th anniversary...

16:51:48 [BringBackJ] yay!

16:52:06 [BringBackJ] I should shower more often lol

16:52:18 [MissParker] BBJ, I understand what you mean...hopefully a totally basic step by step with graphics will help them out...i want to try and work on that...asap and yeah...double yay!!

16:53:04 [BringBackJ] hahahaha the plan came to me in the shower lol...just bein a dork

16:53:17 [MissParker] oh yeah...i remember now! lol

16:54:01 [MissParker] oh that reminds me of something I wanted to do ....acknowledgements ...

16:54:20 [krisrussel]

16:54:33 [MissParker] for the campaign site we are working on launching...some are definitely missing...will have to add them in...we'll also have to do a new page for the new project...

16:55:02 [MissParker] it's almost time for me to leave though...so we'll have to take this up later....

16:55:18 [MissParker] before I lose the net connection

16:55:31 [MissParker] i want to get the transcript posted

17:00:46 [BringBackJ] ok...so is the part where we all have to say live long and prosper?

17:00:59 [MissParker] btw, BBJ, I think we can call you Division Coordinator for New Zealand...we've never had a NZander in our "ranks"!

17:01:06 [MissParker] yep actually it is..!

17:01:13 [MissParker] Long live the Pretender!

17:01:19 [krisrussel] I still say Live long and Prosper... :^/

17:01:21 [BringBackJ] oh wow! exciting! *shines badge*
