Live Chat With Robert Lorick
This is a transcript of a live chat which took place on the evening of Thursday, February 22, 2001. Our guest that evening was Robert Lorick, the actor who has played Jack Flanders for almost thirty years now. I have altered it in only two ways: I have chopped off a bit of the beginning and end because they were irrelevant, and I have run the whole document through a spell checker to correct (most of) the typos everyone makes in a chatroom. Some I left in for their contextual effect.
** little_Frieda Appears from out of nowhere **
LadyMustapha: Omygoodness, where did you come from???
little_Frieda: nowhere
LadyMustapha: Neato
little_Frieda: yep
LadyMustapha: As we get closer to chat time, I'm gonna be both in this room and in the old one. I want to be able to tell people how to get here, if they go there by mistake.
little_Frieda: good Idea
LadyMustapha: I thot so
LadyMustapha: Hey, maybe it'd be a really good idea to have you doing the copy/paste too, because sometimes people get booted off, and if that happens to me, I won't be able to copy stuff down.
LilaOlupe: Hey
LadyMustapha: Hey, baby, how ya doing?
little_Frieda: will do though I don't know how long I get to stay in the chat
LadyMustapha: Did you have any trouble getting here?
LilaOlupe: Not goos... very sick... I'm afraid I'm just here to tell you I can't make it. Sorry!
LadyMustapha: Oh no! That's not good! Get better, okay?
little_Frieda: that not good at all
LilaOlupe: OK Thanks... Hey, my little sis might show up...say hi to her for me...Please
LadyMustapha: I'll keep an eye out for her. Any idea what nick she'll use?
little_Frieda: K'
LilaOlupe: Bye...*sad wave*
LilaOlupe: no idea
little_Frieda: bye
LadyMustapha: Take care, get better soon, like before your wedding, okay?
LilaOlupe: I told her yours, though
** little_Frieda waves back **
LilaOlupe: thanks.. bye
LadyMustapha:Magnifico is on his way. I found him in the other chatroom.
Magnifico: hoho
little_Frieda: do you want me copy the stuff that is said before the chat
LadyMustapha:Greetings! Welcome to the new chatroom!
little_Frieda: welcome Magnifico
LadyMustapha: Yeah, start making your transcription now. Get as much as you can, and I reckon we all will do that, and then we'll compare notes when it's all over.
Magnifico: okay this is going to drive me nuts ... hehe
LadyMustapha: What? Anything in particular?
little_Frieda: k'
Magnifico: I'm just used to muds is all
little_Frieda: do tell
LadyMustapha: By the way, I would have written you back via email, but I figured we could talk about the site here instead. I like your ideas
little_Frieda: muds?
Magnifico: multi-user dungeons... on line games
little_Frieda: oh I see
LadyMustapha:Never been to one, but I've heard of them......
Magnifico: thanks
LadyMustapha:So, is driving you nuts a bad thing or a good thing?
Magnifico: well in a bad way, but I don't want to complain here, wrong forum
LadyMustapha:We could go to the old chatroom............ ;-)
Magnifico: so how many folks turned out for Dave Adams chat?
little_Frieda: how so?
LadyMustapha: We had about 8 that night. Nice number without being overwhelming, I think.....
little_Frieda: I did
little_Frieda: shazam popped in for a little bit
Magnifico: yeah, I'm guessing that ZBS fandom isn't very large, alas
little_Frieda: any minute now
LadyMustapha: We had Inky, and Crystalopus, and me, Frieda, Shazam, Mr. Adams (of course), .......... who else......... I'll think of it.......
LadyMustapha: Several thousand nationwide is pretty small, yeah.......
Magnifico: I found a picture of Dave Adams on the web... very Mojo-ish
jackf: hello
LadyMustapha: He is, isn't he? Sounds like he looks!
LadyMustapha: Jack! Is that you?
Magnifico: Greetings
little_Frieda: I wouldn't know
jackf: yes
jackf: hello everyone
LadyMustapha: Okay, that was a dumb question, wasn't it?
little_Frieda: hello Jack
LadyMustapha: Welcome! Did you have any difficulty finding us?
jackf: hey Frieda
jackf: so, what's everybody wearing? just kidding
LadyMustapha: :-)
LadyMustapha: Just my turban and robes, as usual.......
Magnifico: hehe, okay so we shall bombard you with questions?
jackf: nYC is under snow tonight just got in here
little_Frieda: I put my hair up Into pigtails in honor of the chat
LadyMustapha: Let the bombarding begin, I think.......
little_Frieda: yippe
jackf: ask away
Magnifico: Meatball said that Jack is sort of his alter-ego... but in the later stories
LadyMustapha: Frieda, can I light your cigar for you?
Magnifico: jack is more mature and mellowed out
jackf: than what?
Magnifico: so how much of Jack is you and how much is it Tom?
little_Frieda: yes please
jackf: well I never really thought about that
jackf: i don't really think of tom as jack
jackf: mainly because it seems so organic when we get into the studio
Magnifico: organic?
jackf: yes i never have to work at it
little_Frieda: that what I was wondering too
jackf: jack is just waiting there when we start never fails me
little_Frieda: which adventure was your favorite to work on?
jackf: he's always very inhabitable, if that's a word
jackf: what's your favorite LF
little_Frieda: I think it is
LadyMustapha: It is now, I guess......
jackf: well i love the first 4th tower because it was the first
jackf: and because tom left in some of the outtakes
Magnifico: so it is easy to be Jack, how easy is it to pretend to be in Morocco, or Bali, ...
little_Frieda: so far it would have to be the incredible adventures
Magnifico: oh that prompts an interesting question
jackf: that was very brave of him
LadyMustapha: I love the surrealism of Incredible Adventures. (As if the others weren't surreal? Nevermind.)
jackf: go mag
arisian: You sound like it did click - at the beginning, when you talk to auntie, it's kind of stilted.
Magnifico: so like in FT when Jack and Lady Jowls is talking, and Jack ad-libs he can do without going through highschool again, that's you!
Magnifico: right?
LadyMustapha: Arisian! Welcome back!
jackf: yes little frieda i loved that green chair lots of fun feeling that fabric
Magnifico: I think Valarie slips and says something like oh you changed the line -- not fair!
jackf: it sounds like me - and jack
little_Frieda: I haven't heard all of the stories yet though
LadyMustapha: I thought she said it was fair........ different ears, different perspective......
arisian: But right away, as soon as Eenie Meenie hits the water - it's so smooth ...
Magnifico: yes, true
jackf: the greatest fun is when she says laboratory - in a screwy way - and we let some time pass and then crack up
LadyMustapha: The out-takes were classy!
Magnifico: yeah
Magnifico: yes, it makes it endearing
little_Frieda: Lady Mustapha has a big green overstuffed chair that I love to sit in
LadyMustapha: I'd love to hear more of them.....
jackf: trying to hold back - i can relive that moment so vividly - even though it was a long time ago
arisian: In 'Incredible Adventures' - when you're tap dancing, is that an 'in' joke?
Magnifico: so from what i understand, your introduction to ZBS and being JF was through Valarie Mamches?
jackf: it must have been
jackf: my my - now how do you know that mag?
jackf: yes valerie and i met as actors - doing a tour of Macbeth down south
Magnifico: well, I think i read that somewhere
jackf: she was lady M, I play a combination of Angus and Lennox - I called him annex
Magnifico: probably in one of the three issues of Zounds that ZBS put out early 90s
jackf: bad joke ?
Magnifico: very jacklike =)
jackf: getting back to your question - i like dreams of india very much
LadyMustapha: The chase scene in the palace was neat
little_Frieda: I have yet to hear that one
jackf: there's a scene on a flying carpet - that really carried me away - literally - i read the script cold - only one take - and that's what you hear - it was coming from someplace with
jackf: me or jack - i cant say
little_Frieda: wowie zowie
arisian: I've been looking for pink pelican beer, haven't found it yet.
Magnifico: are scripts usually done in full when you get them or do you and the other actors get to tinker with them to tune them for your character?
jackf: tom is always very generous and lets me -or jack - rewrite on the spot - he encourages it in fact
arisian: But I did try chicken vindaloo - great stuff! Thanks for the tip!
jackf: we rehearse when we record in nYC - mainly because its more sensible that way to work the kinks out - and then we go to the studio
Magnifico: in fort edward?
jackf: up at zbs - its more in the studio - because we have the luxury of having our own place there
LadyMustapha: Froggy Acres........
jackf: yes fort edward -
Magnifico: ahh the frogs again...
jackf: en there in 10 years - we went back this summer for return to inverness - very fitting
LadyMustapha: What sort of projects do you work on outside of ZBS?
little_Frieda: In the Forth Tower what was it like when you meet the Madonna
arisian: Have you done any recording with the fritz head - like in 'Rio', in the mask?
Magnifico: what happened that caused PJ Orte's absence from the stories?
LadyMustapha: Well, that was a bombardment, wasn't it???
jackf: im a writer - lyricist and i also produce and edit videos - also do voiceovers
little_Frieda: yep
jackf: the Madonna is a real treat - mainly because Laura is such a good actress
LadyMustapha: Music videos?
Magnifico: is the voiceover voice the same one you use for JF?
little_Frieda: neat
jackf: corporate videos mostly
jackf: sorry to be so commercial
jackf: no jacks voice is his own
Magnifico: it would be really eerie to be in training some where and here JF... hehehe
LadyMustapha: Get this: he's apologizing to us??? :-)
Magnifico: ahh whew!
jackf: my best known commercial is - share the fantasy - chanel no 5
little_Frieda: that is a bit of a shock
Magnifico: grin, not really ZBS truly is not for profit
jackf: why
little_Frieda: ;-)
Magnifico: it seems from listening that you and the others do it for the love of doing it
little_Frieda: why what?
jackf: yes xits truly been a labor of love
LadyMustapha: But the real world is not, so ............
little_Frieda: Xits??????
Magnifico: so do strange women walk up to you in restaurants?
Magnifico: chuckles.
jackf: why a bit of a shock?
I think that was a typo
jackf: i live in new york there are strange people everywhere
little_Frieda: that you would be a apologizing to us
jackf: no noone knows im jack
LadyMustapha: Strangers walk up to me in restaurant all the time, but I'm usually in medieval costume when they do........
jackf: oh i see
little_Frieda: Be right Back
Magnifico: so do you know why pj disappeared from the stories?
** little_Frieda Disappears for a moment **
arisian: For a while, Meatball was putting singing in his stories. Would you want to try that, as Jack?
LadyMustapha: Speak of the devil..........
jackf: she was just so obnoxious, we couldn't work with her
jackf: im kidding
LadyMustapha: Really? She sure can act sweet........... guess she's better at acting than at interpersonal communications?
Magnifico: chuckle
LadyMustapha: D**n the timing on this chatroom!
jackf: bursting balloons all over the place
** little_Frieda reappears from out of no where **
arisian: How hard is it for Dave to do the harelip thing, does it take a lot of takes?
Magnifico: the working with Dave Adams is then pretty good, it seems your two characters click
jackf: no she's actually back in return to inverness
little_Frieda: Mustapha I know what you mean
LadyMustapha: Naah, my balloons burst years ago.........
Magnifico: Dave Herman, arisian?
LadyMustapha: Most of us knew that.......
arisian: yeah, dr. mazoola
jackf: oh yes Dave is always right there mojo he means, right
little_Frieda: knew what?
Magnifico: that LF is back in return
LadyMustapha: Let it go, LF.............
little_Frieda: Oh ok
little_Frieda: k'
LadyMustapha: Yeah, that too.......
jackf: so what else do you wanna know
Magnifico: how did stars-n-stuff come into being, and Flash Felix?
jackf: i wasn't the first jack
jackf: i mean someone else was hired for the job
little_Frieda: really?
Magnifico: huh, wha?
jackf: but he couldn't do it
jackf: and valarie asked if i was interested in going up to fort edward for a weekend and auditioning
Magnifico: obviously =)
Magnifico: by that i mean how could anyone else be Jack?
jackf: i said no - imagine if i went up and auditioned - and they didn't like me - and i had to spend the rest of thee weekend with people who had rejected me
LadyMustapha: It's hard to imagine..........
arisian: I'm glad you turned out to get the role - it's so smooth ...
LadyMustapha: Yikes!
jackf: so i told tom id audition over the phone - it is radio after all - he agreed - and that's how jack and i got together
Magnifico: were you part of their scene or more of an outside?
Magnifico: outsider
jackf: arisian - cant read the green font
arisian: Just playing around, sorry ...
LadyMustapha: He said I'm glad you turned out to get the role- it's so smooth
little_Frieda: I am so glad that it's not just me that can't read it
Magnifico: So do you have clever sayings on your business card? hehe
jackf: i dint know anyone up there - but jack fell right into place for me when i got there - it was sort of a commune in those days - and i was very new york - so the contrast work great
jackf: sorry my typing is so bad
LadyMustapha: Why did I just get a picture in my head of Joel Fleischman from Northern Exposure?
Magnifico: no problem boss
jackf: the blue font is even worse
little_Frieda: yes it is
jackf: i mean arisian's
LadyMustapha: I agree with Jack, Inky. Use something darker, please?
LadyMustapha: He likes to play with the colors........
Magnifico: it seems like it would work great for the first two stories, where you are meeting the others Jack is really an outsider in Inverness and in Morocco
little_Frieda: what is it like to play Jack?
little_Frieda: be right back my tea is up
jackf: well, easy for the most part - i don't really play him like i said - he's just there
Magnifico: do you have Jack moments then in real life?
LadyMustapha: Don't worry about LF, her mother is Lady Jowls.......
jackf: its strange and im not trying to be coy
jackf: ut jack is a part of me - or vice versa -
LadyMustapha: Leonard Nimoy mentioned the same phenomenon
jackf: we were destined to meet
LadyMustapha: Don't worry about freaking us out - we're not executives
jackf: now that sounds like jack
arisian: Sigh - why do they provide so many colors?
arisian: when most of them don't work ...
LadyMustapha: I don't provide them, dear. This chatroom, like the last one, is free, and they come pre-equipped with colors.
Magnifico: so how do friends, family, colleagues see you and Jack?
Magnifico: or do you keep it as a secret so to speak?
LadyMustapha: Oops. I read too fast. I don't know why They provide them
little_Frieda: I'm back
jackf: where are you all?
LadyMustapha: Jack: I'm honored.......... by the comparison ...........
LadyMustapha: I'm in Montana
Magnifico: I'm in Boulder, Colorado (grew up in St. Paul MN)
jackf: well its no secret - but i once had a friend who was a big fan - and we knew each other for over two years
jackf: then one night at dinner with other friends, he started talking about this show he listens to - of course it was jack - and when i told him i play jack - he thought i was nuts
arisian: Georgia here - first heard Jack in Houston.
jackf: didn't believe me
LadyMustapha: Tom mentioned you were a little fan-shy.
jackf: montana wow never been there
LadyMustapha: It's kind of like the descriptions in Land of Enchantment
jackf: i love entertaining people and i also hate calling attention to myself - a real split personality
LadyMustapha: Did you finally convince your friend?
little_Frieda: Ok here is a really silly sounding question Jack are you having fun chatting with us?
Magnifico: well Jack is, in a way, a little more than entertainment, he is also a bit of a hero
little_Frieda: I know I am having fun chatting with you
jackf: Colorado such great sounding places
jackf: thanks little frieda yes
Magnifico: Where would you like Jack to travel to next?
little_Frieda: glad to hear it I like to see that the guest of honor is happy
jackf: that's what i always liked about jack - he was never really into changing the world - as much as seeing it - into it
LadyMustapha: I always hoped Jack would come visit the Wild West, but that's because that's where I am........
LadyMustapha: Or Ireland would be neat
little_Frieda: same hear
jackf: im more jaded than jack - although some of that creeps into jack on occasion - but he is still wide eyed - and i am grateful for that
little_Frieda: here
jackf: jack out west hmmmm
jackf: convince tom to let jack go to egypt - a favorite place of mine
LadyMustapha: Lots of mysticism out here for him to explore........
jackf: jack would love egypt
arisian: Seems to us that New York is exotic, too - are you from there?
LadyMustapha: Yeah, Aegypt would be neato.
jackf: new jersey actually- how that for exotic
little_Frieda: for sure
jackf: but i came to NY very young did my grad work at Columbia
LadyMustapha: In what?
jackf: oh god - theatre - speech
LadyMustapha: Just checking ;-)
Magnifico: What projects are you currently working on?
Magnifico: LadyMustapha said you were working late
jackf: just finished a truly boring video tonight for mcgraw hill publishers
little_Frieda: on what?
jackf: but im with Christy Turlington now on a video that's a lot of fun
Magnifico: Any lyricist work recently?
jackf: working with - do you guys know who she is
little_Frieda: I don't think so
Magnifico: is she the model?
Magnifico: or a photographer?
Magnifico: hrmm or a designer... i don't know for certain
Magnifico: er know
jackf: supermodel
Magnifico: okay no clue =)
Magnifico: ahh... more strange women...
jackf: yes
Magnifico: my wife is very impressed
jackf: but no lyrics lately - i keep threatening to go back to the theatre
jackf: you never know
Magnifico: are you surprised JF has lasted all these years?
jackf: getting an error signal
LadyMustapha: Uh oh
jackf: jack just goes on - i always smile when tom calls or emails me
arisian: It's funny - people complain about the 'Jacks' not being 'classical stories
arisian: with no beginning, middle or end
LadyMustapha: Ever since I heard my first radio drama (Incredible Adventures, it was.....), I've been fascinated by the medium. What's it like to work in front of a mic instead of an audience?
jackf: that's right
arisian: but the one that does, dreams of bali - doesn't seem to be anyone's favorite
LadyMustapha: I liked the talking hamburgers.......
Magnifico: the later ones haven
jackf: there something very intimate about working with a mike
Magnifico: er haven't had time to unseat the earlier ones and the radio play is less now
little_Frieda: talking hamburgers?????
jackf: hearing your own vice in the headphones - or jacks voice -
LadyMustapha: You'll love it, LF.........
little_Frieda: K
Magnifico: You mentioned earlier in incredible adventures about the chair
Magnifico: did Tom have you sitting in the chair?
little_Frieda: it got very quiet
little_Frieda: that's something that I was wondering to
arisian: Might be the site fading - anybody else have the display melting?
Magnifico: no
LadyMustapha: Is that from memory, Mag, or do you have a transcript?
arisian: Oh well - Hi Lila, how are you tonight?
LadyMustapha: Not me......... my display seems fine.....
little_Frieda: melting???
Magnifico: i don't have a transcript, I'm sorry I'm just having fun
Magnifico: its late in NYC
LadyMustapha: Mine's already 10 pages long........
LadyMustapha: Yes, it is getting late.
little_Frieda: Jack are you still here???
LadyMustapha: Is
LadyMustapha: inky still here /
arisian: Guess not - he did mention an error signal - maybe his PC went down.
LadyMustapha: Woah! That didn't work, I can't type with one hand. Is Inky still here?
little_Frieda: oh dear
arisian: Arisian tonight please - I'm in mufti.
LadyMustapha: Yikes! last thing Jack said was: jackf: hearing your own vice in the headphones - or jacks voice -
LadyMustapha: Sorry, Ar.........
arisian: Trivia question: do you know where 'arisian' comes from?
LadyMustapha: Not off the top of my head. Tell
little_Frieda: wow
arisian: Just checking, it's from classic science fiction.
arisian: seems sad, that it's available, but inky isn't
little_Frieda: cool
LadyMustapha: Nope, I did not know that. Yeah, I was hoping to use my usual nick- Mustapha, but had to settle for Lady M instead
little_Frieda: yes it does
arisian: and my screen is melting - all the words are double, triple, off ...
Magnifico: my name is both classic Asimov and ZBS
little_Frieda: I was lucky then
Magnifico: Well I guess Jack was swallowed by the mist
LadyMustapha: This is not good. We seem to have lost Jack, and Arisian has been melting all evening. Do you think we should keep this chatroom or use the old one?
little_Frieda: Mustapha do you think Jack will be coming back???
Magnifico: i could offer to write you up one
Magnifico: that would have autologging
LadyMustapha: I don't know, LF, I don't know what happened to him. It could just be his bedtime, for all I know.......
Magnifico: what type of computers do you use macs? windows?
LadyMustapha: I think you just did offer, Magnifico.......... :-)
Magnifico: I'll see what I can do
LadyMustapha: I have a PC with Windows
little_Frieda: if that what it is wouldn't one think that he would say good bye or something?
LadyMustapha: Hewlett Packard, Windows 98, if that info is at all useful......
LadyMustapha: You would think so. I honestly don't know what happened, dear.
Magnifico: nah just the OS, the issue is how primitive of a client you folks can tolerate
Magnifico: hehe
Magnifico: so LM, how'd you get ZBS interested in the Whirlitzer?
arisian: windows 98 for me too.
LadyMustapha: Me, I know very little about computers besides how to turn them on.
little_Frieda: maybe he fell asleep at the computer
arisian: Lady M, how come the backdrop is the same blue as your site?
LadyMustapha: I emailed them to ask why didn't they have a discussion forum. They wrote me back and said "because we don't know how to make one"
LadyMustapha: So I told them I'd do it for them, and then I learned how to
Magnifico: ahh there is that one on yahoo
LadyMustapha: This chatroom is very customizable. They made adding your own wallpaper an option, I used it.
Magnifico: another idea that just came to me is that we should try to review the non-Jack and non-Ruby stories and try to promote them
Magnifico: grin I turned off the wallpaper
LadyMustapha: I must have missed that one. So I'll ask the question: what one on yahoo?
arisian: That's neat! Good for you.
Magnifico: that is probably why everyone had trouble see cyan and green text
LadyMustapha: I like that idea, too, Magnifico
Magnifico: let me find a link
LadyMustapha: To do that, we need to find out who has which stories, sort of pool our resources
Magnifico: http:
Magnifico: oops
LadyMustapha: I've got Saratoga Springs, Dishpan Fantasy, Land of Enchantment
Magnifico: groups.yahoo.com/group/zbs
LadyMustapha: Yeah, most of them start that way........... '-)
arisian: I've done some looking around about 'Mist'
arisian: Lot of people like Mist, but don't know ZBS did it
Magnifico: for some reason I thought you were J.C. Beaudoin
arisian: And the binaural stories don't show up on amazon
Magnifico: it used to be egroups but yahoo bought them out
LadyMustapha: Oh, that one! That's an egroup, not a chatroom......... or do they have a chatroom there?
LadyMustapha: I'm registered there..........
Magnifico: egroups was purchased by yahoo
Magnifico: yeah there is
arisian: There is a chatroom associated with it - I've never used it.
LadyMustapha: Gee, I dunno where you'd get an idea like that, Magnifico.......
Magnifico: chuckle
LadyMustapha: I did not know that they had a chatroom. That's useful information.
Magnifico: the only thing is they don't have logging either
Magnifico: its like the old chat room
LadyMustapha: Are you
LadyMustapha: They?
Magnifico: they yahoo/egroups chat
arisian: Li'l Frieda - wake up!
LadyMustapha: Do you run the ZBS egroup, I meant?
little_Frieda: I am still here
Magnifico: no
arisian: LF, can I ask you a question?
arisian: Have you ever smoked a cigar?
LadyMustapha: Oh. Do you know who does? I'd hate to use someone's chatroom uninvited..........
little_Frieda: yes
Magnifico: I'm guessing the list owner, but moving there wouldn't gain you anything, it is just like your old chatgroup
little_Frieda: to answer your question no I have never smoked a cigar
arisian: The guy that does seems OK - want me to ask him?
Magnifico: impossible to log
LadyMustapha: Oh, right, you said. Well, the old group worked........ except for the logging. I videotaped the chat with Mojo! I'm still in the process of transcribing that one......
Magnifico: what we really need to do is unite our efforts
Magnifico: with such a small fanbase, it is bad to be splintered
arisian: Are you fixin to? The LF in the adventures makes it sound pretty special.
LadyMustapha: Well, Arisian, if it's the same as mine, what's the point? I'd love to visit with him, but it wouldn't be better or worse on his system........
little_Frieda: Lady Mustapha mama says that she need you to call her asap
Magnifico: how did you log tonight's chit-chat?
little_Frieda: nope
LadyMustapha: Here we is, united as we can get. I agree, we need to keep in close touch, and the internet seems to be the best way to do that.........
arisian: That's true.
Magnifico: well the only way that I know of
LadyMustapha: LF, is it a family emergency, or just whenever? I can go get the phone from next door, if she needs me right now
little_Frieda: for sure
LadyMustapha: Was that a yes or a no?
little_Frieda: she says it just SCA stuff
LadyMustapha: Oh, okay, so later tonight is okay?
little_Frieda: yes
Magnifico: well I should totter off, anything else LM?
LadyMustapha: For tonight's chat, Magnifico, I'm doing a copy/past into Word Perfect while we chat.
LadyMustapha: Does anyone want to set up another chat before next Wednesday's chat with Mojo?
LadyMustapha: Or is email sufficient for our purposes?
Magnifico: hrmm, sure
Magnifico: email is sufficent I think
little_Frieda: I am cool with whatever
Magnifico: if you have time it would be good to get the whole dave adams transcript on the site
arisian: Let's just watch out, about 8 E, on the old system ...
LadyMustapha: Okay. You've got my address, I've got yours. Let's work on some of these ideas for the site, okay?
LadyMustapha: I can do that, A, that's fine. Here, though, or in the old chatroom?
Magnifico: so people like me who missed the first one don't ask the same questions
arisian: Sounds righteous - Bye all! Thanks Lady M.
Magnifico: well the old one didn't lose dave like we lost robert
Magnifico: laters arisian
LadyMustapha: Yeah, I'm working on finishing the first Mojo chat. I've got about half of it up, and that's it. I have to watch the video, write it down by hand, and then type it up
LadyMustapha: and then transfer it to the net............ takes awhile.........
LadyMustapha: Bye, A!
little_Frieda: bye A
Magnifico: its too bad we can do this in audio, it would be great to get them on tape
LadyMustapha: I will try to get the transcript finished, but I'm really busy IRL these days. Moreso than a few weeks ago
LadyMustapha: That would be boss!!!
Magnifico: what do you do irl?
little_Frieda: yea it would
LadyMustapha: I know what we do: we send this transcript (script!) to ZBS, and they make a radio drama of it! Okay, that's silly, I know. I'm silly, what can I say
LadyMustapha: Society for Creative Anachronism - a non-profit educational organization that researches and recreates the middle ages
Magnifico: nod, didn't know one could earn a living at that
LadyMustapha: I don't, it's volunteer work, but I've given my word, and we're doing some intense projects right now.
little_Frieda: I have to be going
