    Attending were: Adams, Agatha, Ari, Bruce, Eliza, Eos, and Stevenaia. Eliza posted this session.
    We shared feelings about changes in attendance, questionnaire feedback, and suggestions were made - Some of us feel it is time to cozy in a bit. :)


    News: New time slot for Eos - 6pm SLT - Tuesdays!
     
     
     
    Agatha Macbeth: Brucie! :)
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): Heya, Eliza and aggers!
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): aloha!
    Agatha Macbeth: Aloha oe
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal) adjusts lighting...
    Agatha Macbeth: Yeh, don't want to be washed out
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): "shadows bright day" is quite nice
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray) adjusts Dragon....
    Agatha Macbeth: Did Storm turn the lanterns off? Big improvement
    Agatha Macbeth: Looked awful before
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): good question.. maybe so
     
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): it being a holiday weekend, and also my not sending a very exciting notice, not sure how many we will be today :)
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): a US holiday weekend anyway
    Agatha Macbeth nods
    Agatha Macbeth: Not many at Science Friday either
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): is the group still active? haven't heard them mention SL in ages
    Agatha Macbeth: Yes indeed!
    stevenaia Michinaga: waves
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): Hi Stevenaia!
    Agatha Macbeth: Fridays 11AM - 1PM
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): Heya, steve!
    Agatha Macbeth: Hi Steve
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): should check them out again... been years :::adds to list of shoulds:::: ;-)
    Agatha Macbeth: Which would be 2 - 4 for you i think
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): I like to listen to Science Friday live on the radio while watching it in Second Life.
    Agatha Macbeth: We all do Brucie :p
    Agatha Macbeth: Hi E
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): am usually listening to it driving for school pick ups
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): Hi Eos :)
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): Heya, Eos!
    Eos Amaterasu: Hi
    Eos Amaterasu: (not sure if I'm here - I can't see myself)
    Agatha Macbeth: Be great when the kids learn to drive eh
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal) smiles... can't see you either, but I hear you
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): You look fine to me, Eos.
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): "hear"
    Agatha Macbeth: You look fine to me
    Agatha Macbeth: Snap
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): Oh, there you are.... sitting far away...

     
    Agatha Macbeth: This must be the naughty corner
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): haha, looks like it
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): nods.
    stevenaia Michinaga: not naughty yet
    Agatha Macbeth: Naughty but nice
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): not naughty ENOUGH yet....
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): so we can take session gently today... am mostly just curious to hear others' thoughts on recent group feedback and feelings
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): :)
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): oops... lost our Eos...
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray) listens....
    Agatha Macbeth: He'll be back
    stevenaia Michinaga: must be the rain they are having
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): :)
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): deluges today?
    stevenaia Michinaga: yesterday, not sure about today
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal) nods.. likely culprit
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): wb Eos :)
    Ari (Arisia Vita): greetings all
    Agatha Macbeth: Hello Ari :)
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): WB, Eos. Heya, Ari!
    Agatha Macbeth: What is wrong with the weather in North America these days?
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): Hi Ari :)
    stevenaia Michinaga: this is for you Eos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9P2V0_p6vE
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): I wasn't as weather-conscious earlier in life, so can't say
    stevenaia Michinaga: the us radar stops at the Canadian border
    Agatha Macbeth: Wind, rain, power outages...terrible
    Eos Amaterasu: we have a force-field at the border
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): before internet, were any of us as conscious of weather?
    Agatha Macbeth: In this country you don't have a choice I'm afraid :p
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal) smiles
    stevenaia Michinaga: must be those Canadian privacy laws
     
    Eos Amaterasu: lots of power outages here in the wake of Arthur
    Agatha Macbeth: Hehe
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh dear
    Agatha Macbeth: Wish he'd stayed on Avalon
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): I see, hope it didn't undo all that you've been working on
    Eos Amaterasu: maybe he brought the holy grail
    Agatha Macbeth nods
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): I remember a hurricane in Nova Scotia a few years ago that wiped out a whole lot of trees in Halifax.
    Eos Amaterasu: Juan
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): I mean hundreds of trees!
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): yes that's the one!
    Agatha Macbeth: That happened here in 87
    Eos Amaterasu: that's the Juan
    Agatha Macbeth: /me groans
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): :)
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): ::rolls eyes:::
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): :)
     
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): as for guardian meeting, I was saying that my leaning is to take things very gently today, but it would be good to hear feelings about recent group feedback and loose ends
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): someone recently IMed me to ask what decisions I was making about things
    Agatha Macbeth: Which loose ends in particular Liz?
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): so I hope no one has that idea :)
    Eos Amaterasu: you are the decider
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): it was meant for everyone to consider the feelings of the group on the whole
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal) realizes she doesn't need to learn to be bossy :P
    Eos Amaterasu: have not been much online last two weeks
    Agatha Macbeth: You do it so well
     
    stevenaia Michinaga: A group conclusion or evolution is a difficult one to wrangle
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal) nods
    stevenaia Michinaga: who is the designated "Group Wrangler?"
    Eos Amaterasu: impression is that group participation is petering out
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): I think Stevie... if we were to choose, it would technically be you... if still chair of WG? :)
    stevenaia Michinaga: My sessions are quiet , could be the summer
    stevenaia Michinaga: Bruce, pass me that belly laugh please
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): I'll see if I can, steve.
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): we have had a few visitors
    stevenaia Michinaga: yes, I am the "Still Chair"... I like that
    Agatha Macbeth nods
    Agatha Macbeth: Had one at Wol's yesterday morning
    stevenaia Michinaga: one last night looking for a beach party
    Agatha Macbeth: But he didn't want to be recorded...
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): oh.
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): and Curious came to Bleu's session... whereas he is usually a dream workshopper
    Agatha Macbeth nods
    stevenaia Michinaga: and one that wonders in every now an then , looking and seems to be an explorer
    Agatha Macbeth: We will always get casual visitors purely from being near Hanja
     
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): there seems to be a bar between interest in SL and interest in PaB
    stevenaia Michinaga: I've seen him 3 or 4 times, he seems to be slowly getting is feet wet
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): Curious comes every Tuesday afternoon to the dreams session at the Kira Cafe.
    Agatha Macbeth: Actually Liz i find one to be a microcosm of the other
    Eos Amaterasu: you mean the tavern?
    Agatha Macbeth: Maxine's sessions
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): :) maybe we should do better with our cocktails
    Agatha Macbeth: Our dreams seem to be okay
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): "here's a 90 second shot of presence"
    Agatha Macbeth: *click*
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): that's nice to hear Aggers
    Agatha Macbeth: :)
     
    Agatha Macbeth: Pila still turns up even tho he's only on a text viewer
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): miss Pila
    stevenaia Michinaga: I never realized he's been with the group almost from the beginning (I've been reading early logs again)
    Agatha Macbeth: Yes
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): Ohh yes, really early on
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): what were you reading?
    Agatha Macbeth: The wise village elder
     
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): one question is whether or how to address the disconnect between what we express in guardian sessions and what was expressed in questionnaires, re recordings. I have to admit that the new system is very confusing, not knowing what to post from auto-listener
    Agatha Macbeth: Isn't it so annoying when you can't find a link you're after? :p
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): sorry to put on the spot :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Is the new system now in place Liz?
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): well no... new template not made...
    Eos Amaterasu: What is the new system?
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): but even when it is, it will be hard for me to tell what is not posted without adding time to the process
    Agatha Macbeth: Did wonder cos June still has a lot of red numbers I think ;-)
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): so it is a bit of a puzzle
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): I thought/think that Wol wil make a new template, that doesn't show 4 sessions a day.. but is perhaps quite busy
    Agatha Macbeth: Killing orcs probably :p
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): :)
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): does anyone else know how to do that?
     
    stevenaia Michinaga: It can be difficult to find a unifying theme within the answers to all the questions, everyone came here for their own reasons, took what the group had to offer and integrated into their own minds and now we have many thoughts on a theme, a salad of ideas if you will, not a main course
     
    Agatha Macbeth: Boxy perhaps?
    Agatha Macbeth: Think Fael did too
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal) nods... that's wisdom Stevie
     
    Two kinds of sessions...
     
    Eos Amaterasu: How about having two kinds of sessions:
    Eos Amaterasu: 1) traditional (recorded)
    Eos Amaterasu: 2) reform (not recorded)
    Eos Amaterasu: :-)
    Eos Amaterasu: makes it easy
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): :) would particular guardians choose which sessions they wanted to host?
    Eos Amaterasu: Type of session is chosen and pre-announced by guardian
    Eos Amaterasu: For example, I may prefer to have my sessions be "traditional"
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal) nods... as would I
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): nods, me too.
     
    Agatha Macbeth: For me the big question is are we still happy with four sessions a day at pre-defined times (as now)?
    Eos Amaterasu: I think that amounts to 4 gaps per day, which is very subtle :-)
    Agatha Macbeth: Hehe
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): I still love the notion
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): but feel lonelier in that affair
    stevenaia Michinaga: yes, it is a nice pace, even if they are left un atteneded
    stevenaia Michinaga: a free-form structure of sorts
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): it didn't work well to post the unattended sessions as empty... made what is really a cozier but still lovely group seem a bit like a ghost land
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): if one glanced at the wiki, which is the first thing we ask visitors to do
    Agatha Macbeth: Lovely ghosts
     
    stevenaia Michinaga: I actually like seeing the unposted or posted un attended sessions as a marker of activity here
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): really...
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): hm
    stevenaia Michinaga: to tell its own story
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): I felt that the story it was telling was one of dwindling...
    Eos Amaterasu: spooky, lots of ghosts
    stevenaia Michinaga: the story is there, told or untold
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): :)
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): negative space
    Agatha Macbeth: Ghost story
    stevenaia Michinaga: negative space is solid
     
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): ooops.
    (Bruce's avatar begins to morph strangely)
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): Bruce!

    Eos Amaterasu: I think there is a small core of people here, perhaps, and might make sense to have a suitably sized container
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): brb....
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh dear
    Agatha Macbeth: We could go back to the tea house with the size of crowd we get these days :p
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): that's my feeling too.. but I always have to check how much I project onto PaB from the changing scene in RL (downsized, etc)
    Ari (Arisia Vita): wb Bruce
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): :) we could, Aggers
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): maybe Storm could make us one... slightly bigger
    stevenaia Michinaga: you mean off to the tavern, Eos? or downsize the sim, Eos?
    Agatha Macbeth: Or transplant a copy of Dakini's?
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): and we could meet at pavilion for theme sessions
    Eos Amaterasu: keep using the pavilion
    Eos Amaterasu: have the notice board show only sessions with guardians
    stevenaia Michinaga: the upkeep of this Sim boggles my mind
    Eos Amaterasu: but be free to use other time slots
    Eos Amaterasu: keep ghost slots in reserve as first choice for further hosted sessions
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): I've changed the wiki calendar, but haven't checked the board there

     
    Eos Amaterasu: it's like living in a mostly empty hotel
    Eos Amaterasu: (I'm baaack!)
    stevenaia Michinaga: :)
    Agatha Macbeth: WB Brucie
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal) giggles
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): so we're crossing over in some way? :)
    Eos Amaterasu: I think we have, but our hearts and minds need to follow
    stevenaia Michinaga: I think we have been for a while
    Agatha Macbeth: Always an interesting concept :p
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray) ponders Eos' shining simile...
    stevenaia Michinaga: quicker typist, Eos
    Eos Amaterasu beams
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): but wasn't it, "Here's Johhny!" ?

    Attention on the empty slots...
     
    Eos Amaterasu: I think the feng-shui of living with empty rooms is not so good
    Eos Amaterasu: drains energy
    Eos Amaterasu: the ghosts do suck it up
    Eos Amaterasu: your attention is on the empty slots
    stevenaia Michinaga: sometimes it's not what the group says it is, it's what the group is
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): mmmm
    Agatha Macbeth: I think it's totally what the group is
    Eos Amaterasu: this, with a handful of other AVs, is the group
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): what is the role of history?
    Eos Amaterasu: ¿
    stevenaia Michinaga: sounds like the makings of a very good party
    Agatha Macbeth: To show us which mistakes to repeat? :p
    Eos Amaterasu: kitchen party
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): the slots are only empty because they were full once
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): haha Aggers
    Agatha Macbeth ponders
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): full with two or full with ten...either fine imo, but abandoned may be something else

    Adaptation...
     
    stevenaia Michinaga: in the end someone or group of us will keep the spirt of this group alive
    stevenaia Michinaga: to what ends I am not sure
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): :)
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): adaptation
    Eos Amaterasu: change size, change clothes
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): yup... but in all these processes there are the workers who tailor and snip
    Agatha Macbeth: Interesting to note how many people we haven't seen for ages but still wish to be part of the group
    Agatha Macbeth: Like Arch, Eden, Cal etc
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): Cal was still hosting up to recently actually
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): he may still be just haven't seen his sessions posted
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): I see Calvino two hours every Wednesday afternoon.... in Original Face.
    Agatha Macbeth: I only seem to see him at OF now
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): nods.
    Agatha Macbeth nods
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): Eden desires to visit, but the thing is, when life pace changes it takes a compelling reason to rework it
    stevenaia Michinaga: Guardians rarely depart, they just go quiet
    Ari (Arisia Vita): and what happened to Sunshine?
    Agatha Macbeth: Yes Steve, true
    Agatha Macbeth: Sun is still going strong with her music
    Agatha Macbeth: Zen too
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): yes, Sunshine and a Zen have a music session every Friday evening....
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): Sunshine's own group took off strongly...
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): talking not too compelling for some :)
     
    Ari (Arisia Vita): Sunvibes is no longer in SL
    Ari (Arisia Vita): she moved it to InWorldz
    Agatha Macbeth: We dance *and* talk ;-)
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): Ah, she'd mentioned some changes but didn't realize
    Agatha Macbeth: But still comes to PP
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): how is inworldz Ari?
    Ari (Arisia Vita): I rarely go there, so am not a good one to judge
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): I think Sunvibes and Sunshine might be two separate avi's -- but not sure of that.
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): Sunvibes is Sun's group
    Agatha Macbeth: Sunvibes is the group name Brucie
    Ari (Arisia Vita): right Liz
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): oh, sry!
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): ty!
    Ari (Arisia Vita): yw
    Eos Amaterasu: http://inworldz.com
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): ouch!
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): no worries... was really active for a while but there were some issues I think... maybe she is just moving on/exploring new things :)
    Agatha Macbeth pulls your antlers
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): Yikes!
     
    stevenaia Michinaga: was just looking at that, Eos, is it just another SL
    Ari (Arisia Vita): it is another virtual grid
    Eos Amaterasu: have not been there
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): hmmm
    Ari (Arisia Vita): opensim
    Agatha Macbeth: Didn't Adams do something there one time?
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): in opensim, yes
    Agatha Macbeth: Ah
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): Adelene and 3D built a lot there too
    Agatha Macbeth: Wonder how they are now
    Ari (Arisia Vita): I miss them
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): yes me too

     
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): what I wonder is whether we're sort of at a needle's eye moment
    Agatha Macbeth: Without the camel?
    stevenaia Michinaga: isn't that a straw?
    stevenaia Michinaga: or have I mixed my metaphors
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): the only thing I can compare it to is that, when choosing to meet SL people in RL, I had to give up anonymity, which was something I liked about SL...  was sort of a risk
    Agatha Macbeth smiles at Liz
    stevenaia Michinaga: compared to what some have chosen to give up, I am always amazed at RL meetings
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): maybe SL is being felt/seen as a bygone place already, so energy moving elsewhere, or as Eos said, moved
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): with heart and mind not catching up :)
    Ari (Arisia Vita): welcome Adams
    Agatha Macbeth: Hello Adams :)
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): what do you mean Stevenaia?
    stevenaia Michinaga: Greetings Adams
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): Hi Adams!
    Eos Amaterasu: Hi Adams
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): Heya, Adams!
     
    stevenaia Michinaga: each of us has put aside much when we meet in RL
    Adams Rubble: Hello everyone :)
    Ari (Arisia Vita): what is the appeal of anonymity?
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): ah, yes
    Ari (Arisia Vita): why do so many grasp it so tightly?
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): experimentation
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): one feels that by remaining in question, shape can be any number of things
    stevenaia Michinaga: some our hair, sex, beauty, others it matter's not
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): but when identified, more limited perhaps
    Agatha Macbeth: A Protean thing
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): or in a certain way
     
    stevenaia Michinaga: more like opening a door, seeing what's on the other side, another aspect of reality
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): I still think the crossover was a miracle that could have gone terrible wrong :)
    Ari (Arisia Vita): or revealing our "true" selves to others, seen as a risk?
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): or covering up our "true" selves by blinding the other with our seeming self
    stevenaia Michinaga: thank you Aggers (off to wiki for that one) - Protean
    Agatha Macbeth: Try Proteus first :)
     

    Ari (Arisia Vita): Conceal me what I am, to be my aid for such disguise as haply shall become the form of my intent. - Shakespeare

     
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal) smiles
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): "give a man a mask..."
    Agatha Macbeth: Persona
    Eos Amaterasu: "become the form of my intent" - like that
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal) nods
    Adams Rubble: "A rose is a rose is a rose"
    Eos Amaterasu: raises question of what is my intent....
    Ari (Arisia Vita): exactly Eos
    Ari (Arisia Vita): and what is the answer?
    Eos Amaterasu: which is PaB type question
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): for sure
     
    stevenaia Michinaga: ..listens, I think we know before you do Eos
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): ?
    stevenaia Michinaga: we all know more about aspect of each other than the person thinks they are showing
    Eos Amaterasu: hmm
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): hmmmm.
    stevenaia Michinaga: there is intent, then there is what appears
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): hmmm
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): that's a wow statement, if so - definitely so at times
    Ari (Arisia Vita): anonymity is a mask?
    stevenaia Michinaga: I can believe I am the ruthless person I intend to be (which I don;t, btw) , but my actions might not appear to be so to others
    stevenaia Michinaga: but a cute puppy (or kitty) is always a cute puppy
     
    Ari (Arisia Vita): or is anonymity the blank pallet on which the mask is painted?
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): good questions, Ari.
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): ways we come to know ourselves ... through one another... masked selves
    stevenaia Michinaga: the mask is just a line between intent and perception
    Eos Amaterasu: Need to segue out shortly
    stevenaia Michinaga: the line of delusion
     
    Eos Amaterasu: brief final thought: smaller, cosier container for ourselves and others (visible to others)
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): OK Eos, lots of curious points raised today - thank you
    Eos Amaterasu: more group meetings of the remaining pab group
    Eos Amaterasu: ciao all, thanks, enjoy rest of weekend!
    Ari (Arisia Vita): be well and happy Eos
    Adams Rubble: by Eos :)
    Eos Amaterasu: (thanks for changing my time to 6 pm, Eliza!)
    Agatha Macbeth: Bye for now E, mind the rain
    stevenaia Michinaga: bye Eos
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): most welcome - hope it helps
    stevenaia Michinaga: I must put in the A/C, see you soon
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): :) Adams, excited about Sacred Art notice this morning
    Bruce (Bruce Mowbray): I must also depart. Thank you, Eliza. Thank you everyone!
    Agatha Macbeth: See you Steve
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): Fun fun Stevenaia
    Agatha Macbeth: And Brucie
    stevenaia Michinaga: yes, thank you Elisa
    Ari (Arisia Vita): it was great being with you all
    Adams Rubble: bye all who are leaving
    Agatha Macbeth: And ari
    Ari (Arisia Vita): I too must fly
    Adams Rubble: nice to see you
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): good to be with you all also
    Agatha Macbeth: TC
    Ari (Arisia Vita): see you again soon I hope
     
    Schedule change news...
     
    Adams Rubble: Eos will be changing to 6 now?
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): thanks Ari, bfn :)
    Adams Rubble: bye Ari
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): yes.... 7pm was late for him
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): ending at midnight
    Adams Rubble: for all east coasters :)
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): yes for me definitely
     
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): I find it hard to figure out how I used to spend about 15 hrs a week in PaB or PaB related activities @@
    Agatha Macbeth: Only 15?
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): and that may be a tame estimate
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): hha
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): if counting time I was thinking about PaB, it would qualify as consuming :)
    Adams Rubble: we were young then. hehe
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): haha
    Agatha Macbeth: It consumes, that isn't in doubt...
     
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): I agree with Eos's vision generally
    Adams Rubble: I will read the log when it comes out :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Will need to re-read the session to get the broader view
    Agatha Macbeth: Hard to keep up 'live'
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): I think the 'feeling' he is describing would be what you mentioned Agatha... 'tea house' feeling
    Agatha Macbeth: Yes
    Agatha Macbeth: Cosy it up maybe?
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): that seems more appropriate for PaB's phase of life atm
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): yes :)
    Agatha Macbeth: I wondered why your Monday sessions left the 'meditation' format?
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): some didn't really like it...
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): I think I try to hard to find the right balance for everyone
    Agatha Macbeth: I liked it, think Wollie did too
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): I liked it too, but sort of felt coerced and also for me it has been strange to reconcile original/traditional PaB and leaning toward reg meditation
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): or felt that I was coercing others, in a way
    Agatha Macbeth nods
    Agatha Macbeth: It was good when we went to Mieum too
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): I'm not sure I should host 1pms really
    Agatha Macbeth: Rieul?
    Agatha Macbeth: Oh
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): yes
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): I do better with mornings but work mornings now
     
    Adams Rubble: Back when PaB was the Rieul thing
    Agatha Macbeth: Yeh
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): I like that vibe :)
    Agatha Macbeth: Think maybe it fitted in with the surroundings better then too
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): groovy
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): the surroundings there now are a bit disjointed as compared
    Agatha Macbeth: Yes, I know a lot has gone
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): I think whenever one doesn't have a say so in the change, they feel it as an imposition
    Agatha Macbeth: But Doug put the old pavilion back happily :)
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): :)
    Adams Rubble: I made the joke but I did not mean to imply the location was what made it
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): understood
    Agatha Macbeth: Worked tho :p
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): :)
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): today the discussion was about how empty spaces and sessions feel kind of ghostly

    Conversational Spaces...
     
    Adams Rubble: The sessions I remember with the most fondness are spread out over all four places
    Adams Rubble: I say four because there was inside and outside the teahouse
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): :) never attended those, but attended Solobill's tea sessions
    Adams Rubble: when you read the log, unless there is a picture, you don;t know where it was :)
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): true
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): do you think though, that spaces contribute to conversations?
    Adams Rubble: the coziness was nice
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): meaning... big space, more feeling to fill it up rather than taking time... sipping tea
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): :)
    Adams Rubble: Has anyone consulted Storm about this issue?
     
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): he liked the idea of a "wrap up" of the previous vision of PaB
    Adams Rubble: he did make the convertable fountain
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): yes... I still enjoy the pavilion, but I also remember that around the time of the bday party he floated the idea of a new space
    Adams Rubble: ohh. I did not know that :)
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): no one really responded, which might be why it didn't fly
    Agatha Macbeth: Think I was too busy dancing :p
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal) smiles
    Adams Rubble: :)
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): I don't know.. but want to be responsive to the times
    Agatha Macbeth: Protean again ;)

     
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): Oh, Adams, have you been to inworldz?
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): :)
    Adams Rubble: nope
    Adams Rubble does not know what that is
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): okay, we were mentioning it earlier... another grid , SL like
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): evidently Sunshine moved her group there
    Adams Rubble: like a fourth life?
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): hah... maybe
    Adams Rubble: sigh. so many worlds, so few avatars
    Agatha Macbeth: We'll never be claustrophic at least
     
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): :) I'd better go... still sorting through christmas ornaments and making donations
    Agatha Macbeth: Xmas?
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): downsizing actually feels quite good
    Agatha Macbeth: Now?
    Adams Rubble: have a nice afternoon and evening :)
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): yes, they don't fit here - needle's eye :)
    Adams Rubble: or is it night now?
    Agatha Macbeth: Less is more I guess
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): nice to see you!
    Adams Rubble: bye Agatha and Eliza
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): bfn
    Adams Rubble: nice to see you two
    Agatha Macbeth: Take care ladies
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal) waches Aggers slide around....
    Adams Rubble: nice dress Agatha
    Agatha Macbeth: The skating redhead
    Agatha Macbeth: grins
    Adams Rubble: ohh Eliza
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): :) speaking of things out of season.. Aggers is always skating
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal): thanks :)
    Eliza (Eliza Madrigal) waves
