I was thinking of suggesting a second time for our periodic SCREENchats that would both (1) facilitate European participation and (2) provide a *daytime* meeting for North Americans (so that folks who have their Internet connection at work/school could join in). If Al doesn't mind, I'd suggest he take charge of trying to find such a time. (Is that okay, Al?) And folks should send their preferences to him: [log in to unmask] One thought that occurred to me was a midday North American chat, which would be early evening for Europeans. For example: One Day 10:00 a.m., Los Angeles noon, Tuscaloosa, Alabama (and, say, Chicago) 1:00 p.m., New York 2:00 p.m., Buenos Aires 6:00 p.m., London and, I believe, GMT 7:00 p.m., Paris, Stockholm 8:00 p.m., Cairo The Next Day 1:00 a.m., Beijing 2:00 a.m., Tokyo 3:00 a.m., Wollongong, Sydney (Note: These times do not take into consideration the presence/absence of daylight savings time.) A reminder: We'll be chatting today about Australian film. See below for chat times.
