 The Guardian this session was Genesis Zhangsun

Myna Maven: Hello, all
Scathach Rhiadra: Hello Gen:)
Wol Euler: hello pema, scath, myna, horalik, gen,rain
Scathach Rhiadra: Hello horalik
Myna Maven: Was just reading about the Pheno wiki. Bizarre.
Pema Pera: :-)
Scathach Rhiadra: :)
Myna Maven: Not an April fool's joke?
genesis Zhangsun: I am willing to bet what they are doing illegal
Scathach Rhiadra: wonder who spooked them:))
Pema Pera thinks Myna got the right idea :)
Pema Pera: doesn't it sound like Alfred's kind of humor?
genesis Zhangsun: yeah?
Myna Maven: :)
Scathach Rhiadra: mmm, you may be right:)
genesis Zhangsun: that is a good joke
Pema Pera: Fefonz was the first one to get the idea
Pema Pera: but didn't want to spoil it for the whole group
Pema Pera: I hope I'm not spoiling it now :)
Pema Pera: (and of course, we can't be sure yet it really is a joke)
Scathach Rhiadra thinks the word 'spooky' is sort of suspect
Pema Pera: yes, very Alfredian
genesis Zhangsun: I am glad you mention it though I was about to send the issue to an IP attorney friend
Pema Pera: hahaha, that would have been fun too!
Pema Pera: you could always later have claimed it was an April 1 joke by you, Gen
genesis Zhangsun: yes a viral April 1 joke :)
Pila Mulligan: maybe you could, let it go and see if it would make a second joke later, Gen
genesis Zhangsun: no vocab word had to use it
Wol Euler: um, I mus be either very dense or reading the wrong page. What are you talking about?
Pila Mulligan: not pushing it fr real, but if Alfred is playing maybe he can be played
genesis Zhangsun: *new vocab
Scathach Rhiadra: Hello Pila, Ara
Pila Mulligan: hi Scath
Myna Maven: Ha, Pila.
Wol Euler: hello pila, ara
arabella Ella: hiya all
PaB Listener Master whispers: The session has not yet been claimed by a Guardian.
arabella Ella: are you talking about LL closing down SL? smile
Scathach Rhiadra: alfred's email that the pheno wiki is to be closed
Pema Pera: Wol, there was a note on the phenomenology email list
arabella Ella: oh i got one saying LL will close down SL
Wol Euler: ah, ok, sorry. Haven't checked e.mail in a few hours
Pema Pera: why not let SL close down LL ?
Yichard Muni is Offline
Pema Pera: let it run by itself?
arabella Ella: :)
Pema Pera: a cultural revolution
arabella Ella: yes
genesis Zhangsun: it is really funny watching you type Pema while Arabella's face appearing through two layers of hair :)
arabella Ella: user generated content
arabella Ella: oh
arabella Ella: LOL
Pema Pera: :)
genesis Zhangsun: I don't think Pema really minded
genesis Zhangsun: but it was funny nevertheless
arabella Ella feels embarassed
Pila Mulligan: :)
Wol Euler: hello shilv

Pema Pera: any more background, Pila?
genesis Zhangsun: thank you
Pila Mulligan: let's keep up the suspense
Pema Pera: hehehe
Wol Euler: will that be here?
Pema Pera: RL PaB sounds cryptic enough . . .
Pila Mulligan: previews censored until actual shgowing
Pema Pera: yes
Pema Pera: a PaB theme meeting, Wol
Pila Mulligan: I've got making a note card on my list
Wol Euler: ah, ok

Tarmel Udimo: grins
arabella Ella: yea Happy Birthday to PaB yipee!
Wol Euler: happy birthday!
Tarmel Udimo: so retreat dates are firm now gen?
genesis Zhangsun: yes those are firm
genesis Zhangsun: I realize for those coming from far away that it may seem short
genesis Zhangsun: so we are happy to help research accomodations for the other few days
Pema Pera: we thought about advantages of longer and shorter retreats
Pema Pera: this was a great place, and only have five days open
Pema Pera: four nights
Pema Pera: so three full retreat days, apart from arriving day and departing day
Pema Pera: but since this is going to be the first Play as Being retreat in Real Life
Pema Pera: we thought that perhaps three full days would be just right
Pema Pera: many of us may not have much retreat experience
Pema Pera: so in this way we don't OD
Tarmel Udimo: heheeehe
arabella Ella wishes she could TP to retreat in August
Wol Euler: yeah ...
Pema Pera: we'll send you a tp Arabella
arabella Ella knows it is a bit too far ... dreams on
