It's over. Gary Busey broke the chat, making Skype crash, and I took the opportunity to finish for the night. I thought I was exaggerating when I said I'd host this for ten hours. Ha ha ha. But the WC crew made it a wonderful time by...
... showing me pictures of Gary Busey, mocking my accent, trying to make me feel hungry and therefore fuck my diet...
... still, it was wonderful. There was the expected problem of ten people talking at the same time, but we managed to have coherent conversation regardless, and it was always funny. We've discussed pretty much everything, played music, wrote group fiction which someone will post somewhere, and just had a lot of fun.
We'll do this again next Friday. Hope there's no problem with creating a weekly "Friday Night Skype (insert date here)" which, like this one, will be updated real-time. If there is, let us know and we'll think of something else.
Many, many thanks to all who joined us, thanks for being an awesome crew and having a great sense of humor.
I am hoping the bed will swallow me and never let me leave again.
And every time I blink I see Gary Busey's face seared into my retinas, you FUCKS.
The thing is not when it starts, but when it ends. On the next thread I'll let you guys know when we're starting, and no worries if you can't join us right then -- this first one lasted ten hours and a half, so you should be able to find a time to pop in, I hope.
