(I know this suggestion doesn't necessarily have to do with the forum, so feel free to move the thread to wherever it belongs.)
So, over on the Forrestcrow board they'll occasionally have a virtual get-together where members will simultaneously watch the same episode and have an IM chat going at the same time, and I thought it'd be fun to have a little get-together of our own. (Kat, it sounds like you have something similar going on at theOtaku.)
The episodes could be chosen based on their Fangirl-ing value...For instance, Tormented for it's lovely exhibition of the calves of a certain sleepy-eyed guy, or any of the numerous experiments where Mike appears sans shirt. :]
Soooo, if anyone's interested, just post here with any suggestions for episodes, etc. Oh, and let us know what days/times you'd be available for such a rendezvous.

I thought this would fit better in the MST topics since it talked about viewing the show. It's a GREAT idea, BTW. I'd be interested in doing it.

(Kat, it sounds like you have something similar going on at theOtaku.) HELLO~! First off, I am interested, but my nights are limited to Monday through Thursdays. Fridays I work, Saturdays I do another chat at theOtaku called Anime Club, and Sundays are Movie Sign, which is where I do the exact same thing as we're talking about here. XD Okay, I'm going to rattle off what we do at Movie Sign and uh...maybe it'll provide some info...?  ; What we do at theO is, well, what you've got proposed here, except we use the site's community chat since it's an event for people on the site. Everyone has access to it...I think...there used to be like, this thirty-day limit before you could join in if you just joined the site, but I'm not sure what the deal is with that anymore...anyways... I'm the only fangirl in these chats , which all the regulars are well-aware of and have fun with [mock-teasing at its worst]. It's a mix of boys and girls but actions are totally uninhibited. Actually, I think the boys think it's funny whenever the girls point out how cute something is or whenever I go on a fangirl squee. Makes the fandom different and all.
It's surprising the amount of fangirl material you can get from any episode. I remember we watched "Eegah!" and there's that one segment where J&TB are cooking popcorn. Soooo cute. "Giant Spider Invasion", with all the sleepiness? Facking adorable. In the end, you don't need man-flesh to fangirl, which I think we all know. XD
So ahh...
Yeah, this sounds like a cool deal. XD What IM service would we use, or do you have something else in mind? If we were REALLY ambitious, we could use Skype, but that might be a little hard 'cause of sound and...well, maybe not. I dunno. Yeah. |

That...sounds...AWESOME! >o< I wanna go to a fangirl episode viewing! At school I only get to watch MST with a couple of dudes...not much fangirling going on there. XD
(They lifted the time limit before you can join groups on TheO? O__O I gotta make a new WORKING account and join MS then!)

Woo~ This might actually work out! I love Skype, but it might make it difficult to hear the episode if we have more than maybe three people participating. Maybe we could try this another time, as it would tons of fun to actually speak to one another. :] We would have to see what IM service everyone uses and go from there. I personally use AIM, but I of course be willing to make a new account with another service if that's what the majority of others used. Lesse, for dates and times, almost anything works for me. However, there might be other unique instances in which I wouldn't be able to attend. For instance, my dad is visiting this week from Thursday to Sunday and I'd feel kinda bad about leaving him to go do an online thing. However, this also depends on how late we'd want to stay up to do it. |

Here, to make this more stream-lined, if everyone would fill out this survey and post it here in this thread, we could hopefully figure out this whole thing faster:

(They lifted the time limit before you can join groups on TheO? O__O I gotta make a new WORKING account and join MS then!) I think. You should test this out ASAP - we're watching Viking Women vs. The Sea Serpent tonight. IM Service that you use: AIM, Yahoo, MSN, Skype Days you are available: Technically every day, but let's say we're doing this at nights - in that case, Monday through Thursday, Saturday about half the time Times you are available: Weekdays - after 3pm CST; weekends any time Episode suggestions: Y'know, I don't have a suggestion, but may I suggest we switch off with who hosts? I know I'm the lonely Miker [lolmiker], but srsly, I'd get annoyed with watching week after week of Joel episodes. >_O Uh...Amazing Colossal Man? XD; I don't know. |

Don't worry, we would never abandon our only Miker! This Joeler ( xD ) thinks that switching off the hosts would be fine. Plus, I'd get pretty bored too if we only ever watched the same host. :3
Suppose I should fill out my own, huh?
IM Service that you use: AIM, Skype
Days you are available: Every day, though not this upcoming week (Thursday through Sunday).
Times you are available: I'd prefer to do this at night, but I'm available from 5pm to midnight.
Episode suggestions: Garsh, I don't know. Amazing Colossal Man is one of the episodes I haven't seen yet, so I'll go with that! :]

IM Service that you use: Skype, AIM (if necessary XD)
Days you are available: Whenever, basically
Times you are available: Whenever (until I go back to school) but yeah, nighttime would be nice. Can't do voice chat too late at night though 'cause my dad needs to sleep. <__<
Episode suggestions: Anything, really. owo

IM Service that you use: AIM, Yahoo
Days you are available: Well I'm still on vacation so any day works for me right now, though in the future weekends would be best.
Times you are available: Evenings mostly.
Episode suggestions: I'm not picky, but for syncing purposes I think it would be best if we stuck with the commercially released DVD episodes. For example, I only have the VHS of Amazing Colossal Man, so that could potentially be a pain in the butt.
But this would be cool. I'm always up for some group squeeing! ;D

You can watch the whole episode here. ------> [X]And it's not all broken up into 10 minute segments like it would be if it were on Youtube. :] |

I know that most of us currently in school/college have this upcoming Monday off for MLK Day, and I was wondering if this sounded like a good day to hold our little meeting. Would this work for everyone? :]

Unfortunately, I'll be unable to make the maiden voyage because my boyfriend is coming into town for the inauguration. Since I haven't seen him in like, AGES, I'll be spending time with him, and then we're jet setting off (okay Greyhound setting) to Atlantic City for a few days until I start school again on the 26th.
But hey, don't let my absence stop you guys from doing it! I can always join in the next one we do!

We'll miss ya, Queen. :( I know that most of us currently in school/college have this upcoming Monday off for MLK Day, and I was wondering if this sounded like a good day to hold our little meeting. Would this work for everyone? :] Works for me! What time though? Sounds good to me! I'm open all day. I was thinking more towards the evening? Maybe around 7pm? I have a biology project to work on all day, so I'll hopefully be done by then. If I'm not, too bad, this is much more important. :D |

Ah, yes. That rather necessary bit had slipped my mind. ^^;;
I had meant 7pm EST. I'm not sure where you live, Anchan...would this work for you?
