RE: Peer Tutor online get-together?

["Clinton R. Gardner" <gardnecl@englab.slcc.edu>]

Hi all again,

There does seem to be enough interest in such get-togethers...now 
when would be a good time for all?  Evenings?  Mornings?  
Afternoons?  I would prefer to stay away from Tuesday Evenings 
because of Tuesday Cafe....Monday evenings because of the NFL 
;-) and weekend nights because heck it is the weekend.  What do 
you all  think of Wednesday 8/7/6/5 EDT/CDT/MDT/PDT (and I 
don't want to leave out the rest of the world...but don't want to list 
all the possible time zones:  1:00 am GMT)?

As I said before, I would be happy to host the thing on our 
VWCMOO.  I'm also working up a spiffy web page so that folks can 
get more info.  

Once again, I want to emphasize that this is not just for online 
tutors or for tutors alone that matter....basically it is a place where 
peer tutors and Writing Centered folks can talk real time.

Let me know your thoughts.
