Guitar chord forum - chordie → Chordie's Chat Corner → Any interest in a Skype Jam Thursday, 5/10?
It's been a few weeks and I paid for this damn premium membership - may as well use it. Post here if you can make it! Say 7:00 pm Eastern? (though I'll probably be rude and still scarfing down dinner at that time as usual!)
I would like to, but it's hard to say.
I'm in training all this week. In fact, I'm taking a quick break now on some homework then have to get back at it for another hour or two. In addition, it's a long commute before and after. Between eight hours of class, long commutes each way, and homework, plus of course having to deal with the usual "urgent" work e-mails and stuff, I'm guessing that my week is pretty much shot.
I'll be thrilled to pop on late and leave early to make up for it if there's the chance, though.

If I have not fallen to sleep (it will be midnight here) I will join you for a while.

I'll see if I can pop on as well Jeff. Life's been crazy still. Jim finally had ONE day off after working a month straight. The kids are asking when MOM gets a day off, so we'll see if they'll "allow" it. 
Topdown i will be away but, would have liked to join in. I have got setup on skype, i think, but had a conflect the last time Mekidsmom had one. I still dont know if it works, still pretty new to Guitar but would like to try sometime. b
I'm not sure what my schedule is, but I will try also. I have also been very busy the past few weeks. But you know I love it.
I am trying to find a deacent inexpensive web cam,, I may not join in with the guitar at first but would love to met and hear you guys. So any links to deacent webcams that are under 40 or less let me know.
There's a fair number at Staples, Newegg, and Amazon when I checked.
I have no connection with any of those firms. I've never even used Newegg, but I know they have some good prices on stuff.

FYI - although it's not as fun, you can join in with just audio and no video. You should be able to find one that's all you need for under $40 (as long as you have a mic already). You may even be able to use a digital camera/digital video camera that you already have on hand as a webcam - check your user manual. 
Oh, and fyi everyone there's been a few updates to the skype software recently. I'm not sure if it'll help with the connection between us all, but it can't hurt to update your software. I had to log into my account on IE to download it (the software somehow wouldn't just do it on it's own).
Hope to see ya'll later on. Keeping fingers crossed the kids will be good tonight and allow me a little time to myself!
I'm gonna bail on hosting tonight - or at least delay it till closer to 8:00. Seems we have little confirmed interest and as the wife is coming to town tomorrow, I've got some chores that could be attended to.
If somebody else wants to host, feel free to do so.
I came down to see who is on. Turns out it's no one, but there's a few people hanging around Skype waiting for something to happen, I guess. I may call one of you, or more if we don't mind losing video. I'll come back and see what you're up to, as I still have a couple hours of studying to do tonight.
OK I found this one, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6826575014
I figure its worth a gamble for 20 bucks and free shipping. Now Just to get a chance to join you guys.
A 01:00 start is rather too late for me, if you saw me you would know how desperately I need my beauty sleep

sorry guys, the kids didn't "allow it" --- perhaps this thursday will work out better as Jim is finally off the 12 hour shift schedule. We'll have to do something earlier in the day as well for our friends across the pond. Maybe we should do a Friday, slightly earlier. What time will work best for everyone?????
It's super-busy at work right now, but I will make time for a jam this week on any day but Saturday.

I've been working on a new (to me) song. An acoustic version of "Magic Carpet Ride". I think it sounds pretty good, but I'm eager to hear other's opinions to see whether it works for other ears than mine.
Last minute plans to have a b.day party for my littlest this Friday evening. Sooo... how about Thursday? Maybe we can do it 6-8ish? I could leave the computer logged in longer than that to allow the hosting to stay open if you guys want to stay longer, but I may have to leave my webcam around 8. I figure 6 is 11 in Portugal and MAYBE not toooo terribly late. I may be able to get on a little sooner than 6 but I am not going to make any promises.
Hope to see some of you on Skype in a few days. Thusday 5/17 6pm-8pm EST
I have a new day job. No more jams for me at that time.

Bummer. I was hoping to get to hear you. Will you be able to jump on during a weekend?
