15:27 Wordsmith Jarvinen Which ever one you wish to talk about Elf. :P
15:28 Gronk Seriman It's not really a class, just a time to meet and discuss avatars, the sory they may have, where you got it, helping and troubleshooting. Just fun and showing off.
15:28 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) That could be... eclectic
15:28 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) Not in a negative manner
15:29 Gronk Seriman Linda like the Photo Salon for avatars.
15:29 star (astarynite) so we could wear one of our other avis Gronk?
15:29 Kara2016 You can show any avi.
15:29 Gronk Seriman We would prefer g-rated, of course.
15:29 star (astarynite) of course
15:29 Kara2016 of cpourse.
15:30 Wordsmith Jarvinen Well, if at Oxbridge, if it's G-rated. Up here, if it is not. but within Caledon ambiance (which is fairly wide)
15:30 Wordsmith Jarvinen Okay, open for questions in general.
15:31 Gronk Seriman I would love to see it happen in the Attilier.
15:31 Kara2016 *blinks*
15:31 Phrynne That could work if we set up chairs.
15:31 Phrynne it's over the Lecture Hall
15:31 Wordsmith Jarvinen We could do that. I'd just want to put a class tracker script up thrre.
15:32 Phrynne For those who haven't been up there, it has a runway like the ones in fashion shows
15:32 Wordsmith Jarvinen It was set up for clothing design and jewelry making.
15:32 Menta Black (mentadent) a catwalk???

15:43 Gronk Seriman I don't want to sound like Miss Discovolante, but the Plaza can be a lovely chat area. But our main focus there is helping. Chat should stop when help is in progress.
15:43 Wordsmith Jarvinen So those wishing can get some hammered dulcimer in.
15:43 Elfbiter Skysmith (elfbiter) BEdtime for me, I'm afraid
15:43 Phrynne Yes, Gronk, I agree.
15:43 star (astarynite) nighters Elf
15:43 Gronk Seriman Why can't that silly dulcimer ever show up sober?
15:43 Wordsmith Jarvinen Don't be bashful about requiring that Gronk.
15:43 Phrynne And any topics that are not General rated should be moved to the Chat Circle.
15:44 Kara2016 Thank you deans and everyone.
