You are hereby cordially invited to a gathering: An RGO Holiday Party Hootenanny!
It will begin at 8:00pm Eastern Standard Time on Friday, December 18, 2020. I will be hosting the get-together via Zoom. If you don’t have a Zoom account, no worries! You don’t need an account just to join a meeting as a “Participant.”
Here is the link to the virtual party:
(link removed post-party)
Generally speaking, these things aren’t too difficult from a technological standpoint. You can click on the link and do it through your web browser. Or, alternatively, you can download and use the Zoom application. You can use a desktop, laptop, phone, tablet, whatever.
When you join the meeting, you will go to a “waiting room,” where I (as the host) will then let you in. You will be muted when you are first let in. You’ll have to umute yourself to be heard.
General format
I hope everyone will feel comfortable sharing something at some point in the evening. To give shape to things, I’d like you to come prepared having considered two questions for yourself:
1 What is something I am grateful for from 2020? 2 What is the piece of gear I got in 2020 that I’m most excited about and why?
Ground Rules
I request two topics of exclusion:
1 No political discussion. This just isn’t the venue for political jokes or rhetoric of any kind. 2 No COVID discussion/jokes - well, really I just want to avoid poking fun at or belittling others who may have different opinions than yourself. Presumably you all have friends with whom you can talk like that. This isn’t the place.
I think that’s pretty much it. Come prepared to laugh, connect, and enjoy each others’ company. And if you’re a bourbon person (as bourbon seems to be the official RGO ETOH beverage of choice), bring a tumbler or three of your current favorite.
Looking forward to seeing everyone!
-Mark

So we'll be getting underway in about 45 mins. If you can't join right at 8pm EST, that's OK. Join in anytime. No hard ending time planned.

Sorry guys. I tried to install the Zoom App, on my Android phone...
But it didn't download fast enough.
I mistakenly thought, I did a Zoom Video phone meeting a couple of months ago, and it was already installed.
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Chris

Guys, that was great. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing time with one another. This is a weird industry that we're a part of. I'm grateful to all of you for sharing some of your story tonight, and I hope you each have a wonderful holiday season ahead. Let's do it again soon!

Total blast, Mark. Thanks to all that joined and thanks again to Mark for setting up. Really great to mix it up in sort-of person and some really cool rundowns through some setups. Loved it.
Peace!

Hats off to Mark Williams for being such a welcoming host. It was good fun putting a face to some of the names here.
Let’s do one of these again sometime soon.

Ah, I haven't been on the board for a while and totally missed this. And I was basically doing nothing then. D'oh!
