Rush has left this room
Matt1: Sorry John….Rush has the flu
John in SF: Sorry to hear that.
Matt1: He was just checking to see if we got started Ok
John in SF: Hope he feels better soon.
Matt1: Yes….Tough time of year to get it 🙁
John in SF: With you as host, of course!
John in SF: Yes …
Matt1: I was at a holiday party and wasn’t sure if I’d make it, lol
John in SF: Yes, it’s a time for getting together …
Matt1: Do you get his weekly email’s?
John in SF: I didn’t know he sends out emails.
Matt1: Yes, weekly reminders and info for the weekly chat’s. Next time you see him, ask to be put on the list
John in SF: Does it require registration?
Matt1: Rush had two extras for us to view tonight before the TV Chan tonight, so we should get started soon.
Matt1: No, you just need to give him your email and he’ll include you in on the weekly email
John in SF: I still need to pull up a second screen …
John in SF: Please remind me how to access starting screen for film.
Matt1: Ok….There are two extra’s, but I don’t think I can post more than one link here in the chat room. I can try, but I would suggest we start with the 15 min clip?
John in SF: I’m ok with bypassing the extra.
John in SF: Where is the starting screen for the 1st film?
Matt1: For tonights main feature(s)…..scroll above chatroom, to the link for “The Sweater” and “The Nobel Art of Murder”
Matt1: Ok, since it’s just the two of us, we can skip the extra’s
Matt1: More will probably come in at 8PM and we’ll start the two Chan’s (TV Series) at 8:15PM sharp
John in SF: I tried both Utube & other site, but each goes to a generic screen.
Matt1: I right click the link/name and open a new window and paste it there
Matt1: Both links worked for me
Matt1: brb
