Well, those who are interested could agree a day and time when we would all try to be online and actively posting in a new thread generated especially for the party.

So the thread could get lots of posts during the time that the party is running.

We could plan the party in this thread. For, er ... practical reasons, people would each need to supply their own food and drink.

Though suggestions on what that could be could be discussed in this planning thread.

One or more Serif products could be used to produce some invitations and uploaded to this thread.

There could be music and videos. Maybe people here who make videos would like to post a video they have made during the party.

We could try to devise some sort of rule that if a video is posted then no other video is posted by anyone until the posted video run time plus 2 minutes has passed. Together with a rule of maximum runtime for a posted video.

That way, the party would be real time as people could put the video on, even if just in the background while other posts are being made and read. So like a party in real time.

Some people could post jokes.

I think that if people want to make it work then it can work and people enjoy themselves.

If 11 pm to 7 am local time is regarded as out for everybody, can a time slot be found that is not in that local time period for anybody?

That constraint would mean that the party would not start until after 3 pm UK time so that for Geoff the start would be after 7 am Pacific Time.

So what would 11 pm to 7 am Aotearoa time be in UK time?

Would an evening party from 8 pm to 11 pm UK time work for everybody? 

William

So an 8pm UK time start would seem an inclusive possibility for known forum participants at present as far as I aware. Is that correct?

William

So is there enthusiasm for having this party from 8 pm UK time one evening?

Would you want to attend? Either to actively participate or maybe just to enjoy watching.

If so, which evenings would suit or not suit you?

Be thee here Christian, Jewish, Muslim, or whatever...  I invite you all to enjoy a magnificent piece of music presented by a magnificent voice.  I also invite you all to grasp the meaning... for it involves us all.

Peace.  Have a wonderful holiday period however you choose to celebrate it.
