The Guardian for this meeting was Storm Nordwind. The comments are by Storm Nordwind.

Bleu Oleander: hi Storm :)
Storm Nordwind: Good morning Bleu :)
Bleu Oleander: how's everything going?
Storm Nordwind: Well... I guess it's all OK :)
Storm Nordwind: And for you?
Bleu Oleander: great ... busy in rl
Storm Nordwind: Is busy = good?
Bleu Oleander: yes :)
Storm Nordwind smiles

Bleu comments about recent additions to the latest Art exhibition.

Bleu Oleander: I see we're getting some photos in the village
Storm Nordwind: Yes, although it's sometimes difficult to know who added what when they don't include a notecard!
Bleu Oleander: so maybe we can have a session next week
Storm Nordwind: That would be good
Bleu Oleander: yes
Bleu Oleander: hi Yaku
Storm Nordwind: Good afternoon Yaku
Storm Nordwind: Greetings of the Equinox to you :)
Yakuzza Lethecus: good morning the both of you :)
Bleu Oleander: ah yes
Bleu Oleander: that time already
Storm Nordwind: Yes... and broadcast as such one or two days earlier than it actually was in US media!
Bleu Oleander: sighs

The Equinox was at 3:09am UTC on September  23rd (8:09pm SLT on the 22nd, SLT).

Storm Nordwind: Perhaps a "last push" for entries for the exhibition might be good. At the moment we have the "usual suspects" + 1 new. It would be nice to see even more, perhaps to force me to replace the inner circle!
Bleu Oleander: yes, I'll try to round up a few more
Bleu Oleander: hi Luci
Storm Nordwind: Good morning Lucinda
Storm Nordwind: Love the outfit :)
Lucinda Lavender: Morning all:)
Yakuzza Lethecus: hey luci
Lucinda Lavender: thanks...

Lucinda wants to post an exhibit but is unsure how to get started.

Lucinda Lavender: how is the puzzle event going?
Bleu Oleander: we were just talking about that
Bleu Oleander: are you working on yours?
Lucinda Lavender: well I feel a little challenged
Bleu Oleander: that's the idea :)
Lucinda Lavender: :)))
Storm Nordwind chuckles
Bleu Oleander: can we help?
Lucinda Lavender: sure
Lucinda Lavender: thinking about how...
Bleu Oleander: do you have a concept?
Lucinda Lavender: I am not awre of one at this moment but am willing to think on it
--BELL--
Bleu Oleander: something you're "puzzled" about?
Lucinda Lavender: well as always..I am forever puzzed as to whether I can look at the stars and say they are a time cpsule for who I am...
Bleu Oleander: oh great idea
Bleu Oleander: lots of photos going through my mind

We help Lucinda through the mechanics.

Lucinda Lavender: do I make a photo and put it up?
Bleu Oleander: yes
Bleu Oleander: with a notecard
Storm Nordwind: That's a new idea to me. Never heard it before. Perhaps it would be a good subject for an exhibit :)
Lucinda Lavender: need the dimensions
Bleu Oleander: same as last time
Storm Nordwind: 640x480
Lucinda Lavender: writing
Lucinda Lavender: ok..
Lucinda Lavender: somewhere between a star and a stone...
Lucinda Lavender: a sl photo...
Bleu Oleander: yes
Lucinda Lavender: need a photo of stars/universe
Lucinda Lavender: just search it?
Bleu Oleander: just look up :)
Lucinda Lavender: can I plce two items together and then get them in the photo together?
Lucinda Lavender: place
Bleu Oleander: sure
Lucinda Lavender: ok

I offer a texture that may help.

Storm Nordwind: I have a picture of the eagle nebula it that would help. You could have a copy
Lucinda Lavender: great!
Lucinda Lavender: beautiful!
Lucinda Lavender: now all I need is a crystal...
Storm Nordwind: I used it for the inside of the (soon to be dismantled) Kira Dome
Bleu Oleander: :(
Lucinda Lavender: so sorry Storm..
Storm Nordwind shrugs
Storm Nordwind: needs must
Lucinda Lavender: magnificent picture!
Lucinda Lavender: to change its size...
Lucinda Lavender: the best ratio
Storm Nordwind: It's a square pic. But you can't use it as is. You'd have to create something in SL with that texture on it - plus your crystal and anything else you want - and take the 640x480 snapshot of it
Lucinda Lavender: great
Storm Nordwind: (At least those are the normal rules for the exhibits!)
Bleu Oleander: sounds great
Lucinda Lavender: I would be happy to put it on the ground or on a box...
Lucinda Lavender: on a plot
Storm Nordwind: Then you could include a notecard with the exhibit and include a landmark to your plot so people could see it in 3D
Bleu Oleander: exactly
Lucinda Lavender: ah! cool

Lucinda is inspired.

Lucinda Lavender: this is a must do for me
Storm Nordwind: Yay!
--BELL--
Bleu Oleander: terrific!
Lucinda Lavender: just because I have been putting it off for so long
Storm Nordwind: You will have all the help you need. Just ask!
Bleu Oleander: yes :)
Lucinda Lavender: ok soon must go to work
Lucinda Lavender: but am thinking of this afternoon
Lucinda Lavender: best done promptly or I will let it go perhaps...
Storm Nordwind smiles and nods
Bleu Oleander: when will you be in sl and I'll try to be around incase you need some help
Lucinda Lavender: I will look for you...today then after 5 pmsl...
Lucinda Lavender: do I need to put a box on a plot?

I create a guardian plot for Lucinda.

Bleu Oleander: do you have a plot Luci?
Lucinda Lavender: no
Lucinda Lavender: I would like one near the exhibit for ease
Lucinda Lavender: I think there might be a few nearby to there
Storm Nordwind: there are
Lucinda Lavender: ok
Storm Nordwind: In fact there is one free exactly to the south of the exhibition dome, next to Bleu's
Lucinda Lavender: et's use that
Bleu Oleander: perfect
Storm Nordwind: What would you like it to be called and I will divide it off right now!
Lucinda Lavender: between a star and a stone
Storm Nordwind: There is a stone base on it at the moment. Would you like it removed so it is just bare grass?
Lucinda Lavender: well can we place this on the stone base?
Storm Nordwind: That is completely up to you! :)
Lucinda Lavender: or maybe it is better image without?
Lucinda Lavender: does the stone texture show through?
Storm Nordwind: I guess you could try it both ways.
Lucinda Lavender: I would try on stone first...

It is done.

Storm Nordwind: I have partitioned your plot now and named it as you wish :)
Lucinda Lavender: wonderful
Bleu Oleander: looking forward to seeing what you do!
Lucinda Lavender: this is a happy moment for me!
Lucinda Lavender: thanks
Storm Nordwind smiles
Bleu Oleander: I'll see you later Luci ..... have to go .... bye all :)
Storm Nordwind: Bye!
Bleu Oleander: thanks for your help Storm
Yakuzza Lethecus: take care bleu
Lucinda Lavender: so, I go there and put the picture on?
Lucinda Lavender: bye bleu...see you...
Storm Nordwind: Yes you can do that. And anything else that belongs to the exhibit - like a sculpture/crystal/whatever
Lucinda Lavender: shall I save this photo in the unconstrained format for now?
Storm Nordwind: And on the plot there can be more than one picture, because your snapshot can include them all int one
Storm Nordwind: Sure
Lucinda Lavender: ok
Lucinda Lavender: lovely!
Lucinda Lavender: so glad you were here today
Lucinda Lavender: or I was...
Lucinda Lavender: :)
Storm Nordwind smiles
Lucinda Lavender: well shall get to the day...take care all...
--BELL--
Storm Nordwind waves
Yakuzza Lethecus: bye you both
Lucinda Lavender: waving too
