Live EC Chat...
Live EC Chat...
A long time ago, I used to engage in, and thoroughly enjoy, online chat sessions at Matt Riddle's
Elvis Costello Online chat room known as the Stamping Ground.
I was thinking that as the chat room is still in existence (albeit rarely occupied these days), it would be nice to be able to do this again so that a few of us might be able to engage in real-time (relatively) interactive discussions as opposed to forum-time discussions every now and then.
What say all of you?

Doesn't have to be a prearranged thing necessarily (although they used to have "listening parties" that at least the antipodeans and US based chatters attended - our time zones don't clash so much).laughingcrow wrote:Wouldn't there be a bit of a time zone problem...for example it's 12pm here in Scotland (and also England, but not Wales which is a four days behind) midnight for you Tim(e), it's 7am for Blue, 5am for Noise, 1pm for Cope, etc.
The idea was that it might be fun to be able to drop in there and bump into people that we usually only see posting on the forums, and actually interact directly... those intending to do so could always drop a note in at these forums to let others know when they are in (or will be in).

Yes, I recall those chats
Well, I did drop by there a few days ago, Tim(e)
Great minds? I don't know. See you there sometime. I see you were in there a little earlier.
I think notorius must be a system glitch... seems to have been there for days...

PoP!! Great to see you have finally joined this little community. Welcome! (Are you still living in Sydney and if so, are you going to the Bimbadgen concert in November?)thepopeofpop wrote:Well, I did drop by there a few days ago, Tim(e)

I also posted this message in the management section, but in case anymore misses it there:
There has been some interest in live chat and Mrs Spooky encouraged me to add a chat room to our site. It is at:
http://www.elviscostellofans.com/chat/
and linked to at the Introduction page at http://www.elviscostellofans.com/.
The chat software has its own idea of user names and passwords so you will have to register there to chat. It is urged that everyone use the same name as they normally do on the site.
We'll give this a whirl and see how it goes. Feel free to PM me with any thoughts or suggestions on how ot improve things.

I was in there....and it said Spooky and Migdd were in there, but they weren't (maybe you guys were ignoring me....naa!) I think that if you leave by just closing the window, and not 'exiting' your username remains for 4 minutes or something!
I quite like reading what everyone wrote at various times today though...it seems like evryones gone in and gone 'hellooooo? anybody here???' and then left!!!!
