becozy Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Welcome to The Gathering Cafe! Even though we can't be in Vegas at the 5th Annual Gerard Butler Fan Convention, the Mods and Admins will be doing our best to bring a taste of the 'fun' to the Forum! Holly and Stuart have been working on the live video feeds and chat features. Last year was 'experimental' - this year there should be a pretty darn good experience - improved equipment, techniques, access and knowledge - should give us more and better 'feeds'! One of us will post previous (and bump during) the feeds, which aren't on a set schedule, but rather flexible. As soon as we have more info it will be posted. And true to Murphy's Law a couple of the Mods have computers that aren't working optimally! Isn't that always the way? But we're doing the best that we can, and the show WILL go on! Please 'Register' by posting in the thread here which enters you in a drawing for giveaway items. Be sure to keep an eye out for posts when Stuart and Holly have the live feeds up... and the Virtual Con Silent Auctions: Virtual Con Silent Auction 1: Ger-Bear Basket Virtual Con Silent Auction 2: Bounty Hunter T-Shirt Virtual Con Silent Auction 2: Bounty Hunter T-Shirt Grab your favorite beverage, get comfy, and join us here for some mingling, fun and catching up with old friends.

Swansong Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 (edited) I'm super busy as my 3rd galley proof for Chanson was just sent back to me for review and I'll be working on that, but I do hope to check in here and see what's shakin'! It was great fun last year watching the live footage and chatting with each other! I love seeing the gowns/costumes and decorations for the gala! So see you all around! And thanks to Barb, Stu, Holly and MODS for making the Virtual Con possible for those who cannot attend!

patsyb Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Hello Everyone ... I'm looking forward to taking part in the Virtual Convention. Don't be surprised to see two or three new poems this year ... pretty much along the same lines as those that I've been plaguing you with during the past Virtual gatherings. I have a few tucked up my sleeve. Barb, Stu, Holly and Mods ... thanks for all your hard work in setting up the Virtual Convention for another year.
