Thor 7,495 Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 As promised a few weeks ago, I wanted to "experiment" with a JWFAN exclusive get-together this January. Maybe it will be a one-off, maybe not. I usually host get-togethers for Maintitles and FSM, but I can postpone those untill the end of the month. From the replies here, I gather that many of you are more comfortable with exclusive JWFAN meetings. So.....I'm going to try this the coming weekend, on Friday. This will be Friday, January 15. I will start the meeting at 19:00 (7 PM) Norway time, and you can use a time zone converter to find out what that is in your neck of the woods. The link is the same as the one I provided earlier. The meeting will cut off after every 40 minutes, after which you need to log back in. I'll try to alert everyone in time. I drink beer and wine during these meetings. It's not obligatory, but if anyone wants to join me in a few drinks, that's great. See you next week (hopefully)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,516 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 @Thor, What's "7pm Norway time", in real money? How far ahead of the UK is Norway? (edit) don't worry, someone just told me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,495 Posted January 8, 2021 Author Share Posted January 8, 2021 I have a pretty decent French, but let's stick to English. Politics are definitely allowed, but let's not make it the focus point. I'm more curious about how everyone is doing, we don't need to talk about film music and John Williams all the time.

Thor 7,495 Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 Just a reminder that this is in two hours. The link is this: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/4386804511?pwd=ZXRYeFJtem5rUTlOTVFoNWRSS28xdz09 As previously noted, each 'session' lasts 40 minutes, after which you need to log back in. Sorry, I don't have a Premium Zoom account, so that's the tiny drawback. I've cracked open the first beer already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerateWohl 4,357 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Guys, I would really like to join you and have a beer. But I am in bed and very sick. So, I will not be able to connect. Have a good evening together. Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,495 Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 We're live. No one here yet. [Edit: I'll give this untill 20:00 (8 PM) Norway time. If no one shows up by then, I'll ask if anyone on Maintitles or FSM wants to join, just so putting this in my calendar wasn't all a waste of time. Hope that is OK for everyone.] [Edit 2: Bayesian is here!] [Edit 3: So, this was interesting. Only Bayesian showed up. We had a great and long conversation about everything from JWFAN to Williams to politics to travelling to everything inbetween. But the absence of others tells me a few things -- people hate me, or are afraid of me. Or they have no interest in showing themselves onscreen. It was basically a death blow to the whole Zoom thing for JWFAN. As I said earlier, this was an experiment, and I got the answers I needed. Strange that someone like Naive Old Fart never showed up, though, who was SO enthusiastic about this idea in the first place,] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s too bad no one else was able to join us, but let’s not conclude just yet that this activity is doomed. Sometimes the timing just doesn’t work out.

Don't worry - none of those! I just failed to remember when it was - I'd thought about coming along. Was still at the tail end of working at 6pm so I wasn't checking JWFan as much as I might have been. I'd also got it into my head you'd organised it for a Saturday, or something - probably a better day. We hold a family Zoom at 7pm every week, and the timing is to make it easier for my brother who lives in San Francisco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compassion, which I would define as unconditional love, is essential to a JWfan life. So you might say, that we are encouraged to love...
