Paging Amir. Some folks were asking after you today, hope you can make this zoom! We’ve had some international folks at our zooms today.

It was good to see people at the 6 p.m. (3 p.m. for me in LA) meeting, even if briefly. Just finished eating a slice of dark chocolate bourbon pecan pie from Akasha (a restaurant in Culver City, CA) with ice cream and I think it’s the best thing I’ve ever eaten. Almost makes up for not being able to visit my family in New York.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone and thanks WaterGirl!

We’re spending Thanksgiving evening doing what all Real Americans do, binge watch “The Crown” on Netflix.

Wi-fi is unstable; it doesn’t help that both kids are home and playing something on Younger Son’s new gaming PC. I’m enjoying it when it works though!

Completely missed y’all – after kiddo was down, my wife and I watched 3 episodes of “The Morning Show” (really good IMO – much better than most TV shows about a TV show; also helps that the cast is phenomenal), and now it’s time for sleep so I can hit 6AM wake up duty. I will try to make an in-person one whenever circumstances allow for it.

Had to leave for the evening, but good to see all of you. Stay safe!

@mrmoshpotato: I lived in Italy in the early 70s when that song was on the radio and I even bought a single/45 rpm of it. However I didn’t see the performance until some time in the oughts after it was on YouTube. By then I had lost the record in a moved. I still love the song.
I was on this Zoom briefly, had to leave, didn’t say anything. It was nice to see all you folks.
Back to lurking.

@mrmoshpotato: I asked the host to watch the waiting room – will you try again?

Woot! That was nuts. See you all later :)

Wasn’t that nice! Thanks so much– lovely to see so many folks, especially after being so much of a hermit this last long while IRL. Thanks again for putting this together– and so many in one day for all the different zones! Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.

Big hugs to all the hosts.

I wanted to see Amir Khalid’s guitars… :/
Amir Khalid
@Chris Johnson:
Maybe next time, I’ll work up the courage to turn on my camera.
But I got to see your guitars. And it looked like you were at your studio workstation. I couldn’t compete with that.

I am so happy that I met all that attended the last Zoom meeting. Thank you Watergirl, John and everyone that helped make this go.
Bill Arnold
Names to faces – really enjoyed that.

@Felanius Kootea:
Dark chocolate bourbon pecan pie sounds great! I looked at some recipes on line; might have to give it a go.

It was great attaching faces to the names/nyms. I was at the 2pm and 10pm ones. I mostly lurked and enjoyed the conversation. When I unmuted and tried to speak I wasn’t sure if anyone heard me. I didn’t have the camera on, and I noticed my nym on the call was “newbaby” which was my name for my first iPhone.
WaterGirl
@Nyrobbin: I never heard newbaby speak at any of the zooms, and it looked like you were muted all the time.
It’s easy to change to your nym from within zoom. Will keep an eye out for you at the next one!
