GeorgL says, "Tonight Homers words will once again fill a room, but they will not be stopped by the boundaries of four walls. No, instead they will travel across the globe "and come back to us in other languages, all within a matter of seconds."

SantiagoP says, "ok. i'll take care."

MonikaW asks, "which file do you update now ?"

SantiagoP says, "i'm searching for it..."

SantiagoP says, "welcome.html"

MonikaW asks, "ok, how are things going ?"

SantiagoP says, "o oh... the dcr files were not intended to be put in the web..."

SantiagoP says, "anybody without at least ISDN won't be able to see a thing..."

MonikaW says, "do you think we should start the whole maess locally or over the net (we have ISDBN)"

SantiagoP says, "i think you should put 'among.html' back as the default page."

TwylaM-S [to SteveS]: I've actually been going by Magistra -- the Latin Feminine for Master (inother words, I'm a Roman Mistress.

SteveS asks, "Does Caligula know?"

TwylaM-S eyes Juli enviously.

SteveS [to Juli]: The map of ATHEMOO scanned great by the way...

TwylaM-S [to SteveS]: Believe me, he *knows* when it's me ...

Juli [to SteveS]: which version do you have? does it have all the stuff on it?

Juli says, "I see that Kristian Fuglevik is logged in, that's great, will try to rouse him when the perf starts"

TwylaM-S asks, "Anyone know where they want the acknowledgements?"

Juli nopes

SteveS says, "No, it was not as personal as some others' personal statements, that concern me...."

Juli grins at Steve

TwylaM-S asks, "Huh?"

SteveS exclaims, "just editor talk....(oops)!"

SteveS [to TwylaM-S]: Do it right now!

Juli will do hers too

SteveS is on page 158, and won't reach the About the Authors page for a awhile.

SteveS says, "Anyone seen Jake lately? I have NO bio from him."

TwylaM-S says, "Okay -- although I have no idea where the old one is."

Shakespeare's_Guest says, ""hi"

Juli waves aloha at the guest

Juli greets Shakespeare's_Guest, asking for the guest's real name.

TwylaM-S says, "I heard from him a couple of weeks ago, he's now in Houston."

Juli says, "oh, really, that's new"

SteveS says, "the old one is: Twyla Mitchell-Shiner has been working in theatre in a wide variety of capacities. Currently she is working toward her Ph.D. in Dramatic Art at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and is creating two online performances for 1997."

TwylaM-S says, "He's working on starting some sort of computer consulting company now."

TwylaM-S says, "Wow! Thanks Steve! Saved me about an hour of searching through old disks."

Juli knew that part, the Houston is the surprise, hope it works out for him, he was pretty excited about it

Shakespeare's_Guest says, "i am lurking"

Shakespeare's_Guest grins

Juli [to Shakespeare's_Guest]: lurk away, but how about letting us know who you are? Or, letting me know if you'd like a character here?

BorisK has disconnected.

TwylaM-S smiles at Shakespeare's Guest -- welcome Pauli!

Juli welcomes Pauli

Shakespeare's_Guest asks, "hi juli, hi ... what's your location ??"

Juli is in hawaii trying to redo her bio for steve :-)

TwylaM-S [to SteveS]: It's revised, but Juno is it's own system so I can't send it to you until this is all done. ... Well, I guess I have time to disconnect. Back in a few ...

TwylaM-S asks, "Or do you just want it here?"

NinaLN grins, shockwave and real audio

SteveS [to Jukli]: What does MacMOOSE do, by the way?

GeorgL says, "Shockwave and as far as I nkow real audio"

GeorgL [to Stve]: www.macromedia.com

SteveS exclaims, "Phew! Got em!"

GeorgL [to Stve]: Good

NinaLN frowns,

NinaLN says, "I thought I had them, but they don't seem to be working."

You hear the distant sound of trumpets blaring. As the fanfare grows louder, you feel the air around you begin to grow warmer. Finally, in grand style TwylaM-S appears beside you.

SteveS [to NinaLN]: did you quit netscape before installing and then restart Netscape? (or IE?)

TwylaM-S waves enthusiastically upon her return ...

TwylaM-S asks, "Did I miss anything?"

NinaLN [to SteveS]: I'm still downloading

GeorgL [to TwylaM-S]: Not yet

GeorgL grins

SteveS exclaims, "Twyla! Plug-ins!"

TwylaM-S [to SteveS]: You did.

TwylaM-S says, "I'm listening to Rent. Peppy musical. Way different from Larson's previous work."

TwylaM-S muses, "actually that was pretty peppy too ...

GeorgL [to TwylaM-S]: Yeah, he was a comic strip painter earlier 8-)

TwylaM-S [to GeorgL]: Better -- he was the Sesame Street MAN.

SteveS asks, "Hey, anyone know how to do a sewcond reference for an author in a biblio? Is it still ---------?"

Juli [to TwylaM-S]: ah ah ah, that guy is a genius

TwylaM-S [to SteveS]: "Just three hyphens ---.

Juli [to SteveS]: that's what i always do, but notes are not my forte

SteveS says, "Now it's three., Used to 10. Everything's getting smaller."

TwylaM-S [to Juli]: He *was* ...

GeorgL [to TwylaM-S]: I think I have mentioned that I have always been afraid of Sesame Street

TwylaM-S [to SteveS]: space is at a premium these days.

Juli feel deeply in love with it as the kids watched more and more often

Juli places a fragrant plumeria lei around Nothing's neck.

TwylaM-S remembers, Georg, and is sorry she mentioned it.

TwylaM-S comforts Georg/

SteveS thinks Sesame Street. and not MTV, is to blame for reduced attention spans.

GeorgL [to SteveS]: Yews, and angst

DanZ teleports in

GeorgL says, "Yews = Yes"

DanZ says, "The gang's all here""

GeorgL exclaims, "HI DAnZ!"

SteveS asks, "Angst? Because of Oscar the grouch hiding in the garbage can? Ready to pounce?"

GeorgL exclaims, "Er Hi Dan!"

TwylaM-S doesn't agree -- SS used to do some pretty longish segments, *before* MTV.

DanZ exclaims, "Hi GEORg!"

SteveS exclaims, "The dark side of sesame street!"

TwylaM-S exclaims, "Hi Dan!"

SteveS exclaims, "Hi, Dan!"

TwylaM-S exclaims, "brb everyone!"

TwylaM-S vanishes with a bright flash and puff of smoke! After her departure you feel a strange void where her warm presence used to be.

NinaLN waves hi to Dan as she checks to see if Shockwave now works.

DanZ says, "Hi Nina!:"

Juli has given up on the web stuff, can't get the plugins going

The usher arrives to escort AndresE out of ATHEMOO.

DanZ teleports out

SteveS says, "I think it'll take that long for Netscape to load that first Shockwave movie..."

NinaLN [to SteveS]: You mean the introductory screen I just loaded which took 12 minutes?

Juli leaves in a flash!

SteveS exclaims, "Oh, look I need a new version! Argh!"

NinaLN [to SteveS]: Actually it said 12 min, it loaded in about 5.

BorisK teleports in

SteveS wonders who else is quickly downloading the plug-in!

DanZ has disconnected.

NinaLN [to SteveS]: Which one? Real Audio or Shockwave?

SteveS says, "Shockwave"

SteveS says, "though I might as well update realaudio while I'm at it..."

NinaLN wonders if anyone knows what she should be seeing/hearing on the oudeis web page at the moment?

NinaLN says, "I heard some cool music as it was downloading, but now I just see a flashing oudeis logo."

SteveS [to NinaLN]: At least we're not doing videoconferencing with Matt Saunders....

SteveS says, "with all different software apps."

NinaLN nods with a smile.

Shakespeare's_Guest exclaims, "greetings from vienna !!"

rehearsing

GeorgL says, "to AMONG IMMORTALS, the very first oudeis related performance."

GeorgL exclaims, "(this is getting official)!"

GeorgL laughs.

GeorgL says, "Yeah, acutally I was just trying my good intoduction words because performance will commenc3 in 5 mins"

GeorgL says, "My name is Georg Leyrer and I am in Vienna's Museum of Modern Art at the Palais Liechtenstein where this evening's performance will take place."

GeorgL says, "As the proceedings unfold, I will serve as your messenger and will keep you informed while events transpire."

GeorgL says, "In this way, I will be acting very much like the god Hermes who provided Odysseus with many timely messages."

GeorgL says, "Of course, your participation in this textbased mirror of AMONG IMMORTALS designed by Jim Terral is welcome. So feel free to express your thoughts and reactions."

GeorgL says, "I would now ask you to go to Schwellers Theatre and find a seat there."

Mishima's_Guest teleports out

JanetC teleports out

BorisK teleports out


Jeanne teleports in

Slowly fading in, you hear the prelude to Wagners Parsifal. The notes build to the first crescendo right when GeorgL arrives. He has a very calming effect on you which you like a lot.

The air next to you begins to glow, and SteveS beams in.

GeorgL relaxes.

LeeG teleports in

Jeanne [to GeorgL]: before what??

Juli [to Jeanne]: the computers in the theatre where Georg was connected from

Jeanne asks, "is there more?"

Jeanne says, "oh"

You hear the distant sound of trumpets blaring. As the fanfare grows louder, you feel the air around you begin to grow warmer. Finally, in grand style TwylaM-S appears beside you.

LeeG asks, "well, Georg and I would be happy to hear your opinions?"

Jeanne says, "I would have liked even more"

Juli thanks all the athemoo members and guests who came to today's performance, hopes you will return this September and then again in 98 for the biggie

Cil wishes the web page would have worked!!

TwylaM-S vanishes with a bright flash and puff of smoke! After her departure you feel a strange void where her warm presence used to be.

Jeanne wishes she had the right shockwave

Kristian exclaims, "This was cool!"

NinaLN teleports in

SteveS exclaims, "The web page worked--I guess? with the logo...but the music IN STEREO was GREAT!"

Cil would like to see this again after the web stuff is working well

GeorgL says, "Would you like to a short recap for teh Vienna Performance"

Cil didn't even get the music

Juli [to Kristian]: did you have the web page going simultaneously, I don't think many of us did

LeeG says, "How did th esockwave look> I wasn't able to see it from where I was"

Jeanne [to SteveS]: you're among the lucky few then

Kristian [to Juli]: Unfortunatly no.

Jim teleports in

Cil asks, "Will this be done again?"

Juli says, "well, I would like a recap of the events in Vienna please"

Cil would also

Jeanne says, "my whole netscape is now frozen. I will have to reboot. can't bring it down"

LeeG says, "Yes, Georg, please"

Juli says, "many here have not had the chance to hear about that"

NinaLN Shockwave worked beautifully on this end.

SteveS [to LeeG]: The graphic covered over with a series of brushstrokes or nets (depending on your point of view) going to black, then the oudeis logo.

GeorgL says, "Okay."

LeeG [to SteveS]: thanks

GeorgL says, "You can look at the screens even after the performance."

Juli suggests we all listen to Georg for a moment

Jeanne says, "what is the name of the theatre again? I forgot, ulf gave me a book about vienna"

GeorgL says, "They will stay in, and I hope we"

GeorgL says, "will solve the problems so that all of you can see the,,m."

GeorgL says, "The name of where I am is MMKSTLW."

GeorgL says, "Thats the Museum of Modern Art i Vienna."

Jeanne looks at the book

GeorgL says, "The performance actually worked quite well in the beginning."

Juli [to gerog]: please describe it and the space the audience was in

GeorgL says, "The intro music came over really nicely in high volume."

Cil says, "And how many were there"

JanetC teleports in

GeorgL says, "The MMk is quite lartge, an old building (approx 1880)"

GeorgL says, "There were ca. 1300 people, 250 of which came to the perf placve."

GeorgL says, "and stayed."

GeorgL says, "The rest went by and looked."

MMK_Vienna teleports in

Cil says, "Impressive"

GeorgL says, "So the first scene (introduction) was really nice to look at and listen too"

SantiagoP teleports in

GeorgL says, "Screens were visible on a 3x3 metres screen"

Jeanne asks, "which bank of the Danube is the MMk on?"

You hear the distant sound of trumpets blaring. As the fanfare grows louder, you feel the air around you begin to grow warmer. Finally, in grand style TwylaM-S appears beside you.

SantiagoP [to Jim]: hey!congrats!

JanetC . o O ( kewl )

GeorgL [to Jeanne]: Its Cisdanubia, the southern bank.

SantiagoP blushes.

Juli welcomes oudeis team members, Georg is recapping the live performance for us online

Jeanne says, "thanks. this book has the pics divided by banks"

GeorgL says, "In the beginning the TAHMOO perf"

GeorgL says, "was lagging behind a lot."

BorisK teleports in

JanetC is dying to hear more about the offline LIVE performance.

GeorgL says, "Thanks, Twyla."

GeorgL grins.

Juli strangles the lag demon

JanetC figures the online performance was pretty LIVE as well.

TwylaM-S applauds the three fine actos of Athemoo ... and *also* wants to hear how the live perf went ...

GeorgL says, "We overtook vIenna when the second music part failed to load fast enough."

Juli asks Georg to continue and then we can talk...let's keep quiet a bit so he can get it all out

Jim [to SantiagoP]: Sounds like it went well in Vienna with the music

JanetC . o O ( we have some lives ones here then? )

GeorgL says, "There was a long pause weher our ATHEMOO perf was visible but"

GeorgL says, "nothing much elese happened"

GeorgL says, "When the music foimally came, things went on well."

GeorgL exclaims, "Music sounded extremly cool in thihjs old place!"

SantiagoP says, "so the music worked after all."

GeorgL says, "Then - yes, santi!-"

GeorgL says, "Then the MC in Vienna went on"

GeorgL says, "Witnh the Polyphemus scene"

GeorgL says, "When we were at the end of Poseidon"

GeorgL says, "pronblems started to get big then"

GeorgL exclaims, "because the big screen failed us!!!!!"

GeorgL says, "so it was okay when the MC on stage spoke, but when music"

GeorgL says, "should have come, it agin took a ewhli er while to load"

DanZ teleports in

GeorgL says, "And in this moment - nothing happend which was not cool at all."

GeorgL exclaims, "this took quite a while!"

GeorgL says, "We athemoo people tried to slow down as you may have noticed"

JanetC nods at GeorgL.

GeorgL says, "for vienna to get up to us"

GeorgL says, "trying to stayx synhced"

JanetC somehow loves that idea.

GeorgL says, "v"

Juli does too

GeorgL says, "but still the screen was black and no music"

JanetC looks over to Juli and grins.

GeorgL says, "poeople gettin restles then"

GeorgL says, "mon waved to MC to skip music and go on"

GeorgL says, "Yes, Santi, sorry..."

SantiagoP says, "ok. show must go onnnnn."

GeorgL says, "so MC t0ook it over agin without screen nor music"

GeorgL exclaims, "Which was D SAD!"

GeorgL says, "ATHEMOO actors decided to get our perf"

GeorgL says, "to a close andnot wait for Vienna"

GeorgL says, "so we just carried on two scenes in front"

GeorgL says, "next pause same th9ing happend"

SantiagoP says, "but then Mon paged me about the exodus..."

GeorgL exclaims, "no screen no music!!!!!"

SantiagoP . o O ( sorry... )

GeorgL says, "Yeag, ewe were trying to get something to work at least"

GeorgL says, "What also failed were the translations over the net"

JanetC . o O ( upstaged by the flailing technology? )

GeorgL [to JanetC]: Yeah seems so!

JanetC looks over to GeorgL and grins.

GeorgL says, "Worst thing: two really good looking girls"

GeorgL says, "came to me and asked what had happened"

GeorgL says, "8-)"

Jim [to GeorgL]: that's bad?

TwylaM-S raises her eyebrows at Georg ... naughty boy.

Jeanne [to Jim]: it is if they lef

BorisK pities georg

Jeanne says, "er, left"

JanetC laffs at Georg

GeorgL says, "so ATHEMOO was in last scene"

GeorgL says, "when mon and MC"

GeorgL says, "decided to skip and do hthe end"

GeorgL says, "MC covered iwith some improvisaiton"

Jim [to GeorgL]: does that mean the screen came back?

Cil asks, "What were the translations supposed to be like?"

MMK_Vienna says, "so I am Georg now"

MMK_Vienna says, "The coines and the light look well as far as I saw it"

MMK_Vienna [to Cil]: Just like in the MOO

Jeanne has disconnected.

MMK_Vienna says, "Homer in English"

MMK_Vienna says, "And other klangs"

JanetC loved the twingling of the different languages.

LeeG asks, "why didn't it work?"

MMK_Vienna asks, "No sound!?"

BorisK heard a bit of Snatiago's words ...

LeeG nods..of course

SantiagoP asks, "but was the house sound dead?"

MMK_Vienna says, "so we did the last scene wuite at the same tijme as Vienna"

MMK_Vienna [to SantiagoP]: Yes

MMK_Vienna says, "who skipped the two scenes before that"

Juli says, "well, it was the first time, and there are always technical problems"

MMK_Vienna says, "SAhit."

LeeG says, "so the translations went dead with the sound and screens"

MMK_Vienna says, "Yeah, what was really hard was keeping itin synch"

MMK_Vienna says, "with the actual perf"

MMK_Vienna says, "because sometimes they were moving like hell"

LeeG says, "that's why there are rehearsals"

MMK_Vienna says, "and others just stopper"

SantiagoP asks, "so when did the tech stuff (screen & sound) die?"

LeeG says, "If there is time"

Shakespeare's_Guest says, "love"

MMK_Vienna says, "thats the biggest problem I see even if the technics work"

MMK_Vienna [to SantiagoP]: Dunno rreally... After Poseidon, IU guess

Jim [to MMK_Vienna]: Poseidon doesn't speak. When do you mean?

GeorgL says, "But we had music after that"

SantiagoP asks, "where?"

Shakespeare's_Guest says, "say"

SantiagoP asks, "er... when?"

MMK_Vienna says, "its hard to remember exactly#"

Cil asks, "Will the music work also if we go to the web page?"

MMK_Vienna says, "somewhere in the end"

MMK_Vienna [to ]: C

Jeanne has connected.

Shakespeare's_Guest asks, "who are qyou?"

MMK_Vienna says, "But there was applause"

SantiagoP [to Cil]: yes, but you need a fast (ISDN or better) connection.

Jeanne glances at the clock...

MMK_Vienna says, "all in all I would say it went at about half its potential"

MMK_Vienna says, "Which is a shame"

Shakespeare's_Guest asks, "is there anyone??"

Juli says, "which is a great place to start when so much technology is involved"

Jeanne says, "I agree with Juli"

MMK_Vienna says, "Especially the music went really well when it worked"

JanetC nods at what Juli says

Shakespeare's_Guest asks, "santiago de compostela?"

SantiagoP says, "tnx."

MMK_Vienna [to Juli]: Yeah!

TwylaM-S also agrees with Juli

JanetC says, "especially for a first run."

Juli nodsnodsnods

SantiagoP [to Shakespeare's_Guest]: well... that's a bit far from here.

Shakespeare's_Guest says, "my name is doctor toktok"

Jeanne says, "when bill gates does a demo at THE science conferenced in the US and his technolgoy fails, 50% is great"

Juli holds up a BIG sign: | HURRAY for the OUDEIS TEAM! |

MMK_Vienna exclaims, "I would have loved it to work perfectly, thoguh!"

JanetC laughs at Jeanne.

MMK_Vienna laughs!

BorisK thros, er throws up his hat

Juli nods at Mon, knows the feeling

Juli claps wildly!

TwylaM-S applauds the whole team.

Juli claps wildly!

MMK_Vienna exclaims, "I will tell them... they seem to be gone!"

LeeG agrees with Georg

Shakespeare's_Guest asks, "janet where are you from?"

DanZ claps wildly

Kristian applauds!

JanetC applauds ya all . Great suff you are doing here.

BorisK yeyeyells

JanetC says, "Stuff even."

SantiagoP says, "tnx."

MMK_Vienna says, "To some place where noone will find them..."

Jeanne says, "I think so too."

Jeanne says, "it's history in the making, from the beginning"

TwylaM-S grins at MMK

MMK_Vienna says, "Thanks all for the interest."

Juli applauds the MOO audience and thanks all the wizards from other moos that attended

SteveS [to MMK_Vienna]: Keep up the great work!

MMK_Vienna [to Jeanne]: Yeah, like learning to fly!

Jeanne says, "some day w'll all look back and say "I was there!""

MMK_Vienna exclaims, "and laugh!"

LeeG would like to thank Juli and the ATHEMOO for all their great help and talent

Juli smiles at Jeanne, and were you ever here!

Jeanne says, "no, and be amazed and awed"

BorisK says, "I'm quite sure that a lot of people got curiois tonight - things will explode for you, I hope ..."

JanetC grins at Jeanne and nod

MMK_Vienna [to Juli]: Yes, thank you for all the work.

Cil grins

Juli smiles, feels just as excited about the next step as the rest of you and just as disappointed that athemoo couldn't have been set up better for this time

SantiagoP asks, "what was the reaction of the audience?"

Jeanne says, "I love the theatre."

MMK_Vienna [to SantiagoP]: Mixed I ould say..

Jeanne says, "juli has this stage stuff licked now"

MMK_Vienna says, "Interested but confused by the lags"

SantiagoP [to Juli]: yeah... nice place.

Shakespeare's_Guest says, "let's talk about heatre"

Juli grins, with lots of help from my friends

TwylaM-S wonders when Juli has time to lick the stage ...

Juli says, "yes, it might be a good time to think about the theatrical angle of the moo performance"

Jeanne pokes TwylaM-S.

MMK_Vienna [to Juli]: Yes!

Juli would like to remind everyone that this, too, was just a first step

TwylaM-S giggles..

MMK_Vienna says, "I think there is a lot to be said abouzt that."

Juli would also like to encourage ideas for the next step rather than necessarily critiquing this one, if you know what I mean

Cil [to Juli]: But what a step! 250 people!

Juli asks, "in other words, what possibilities do you see?"

Jeanne says, "the way to look at what went wrong here is to find ways around it the next time"

SteveS brb...

Cil [to Juli]: It's hard to say without seeing the web, Juli

Juli nods at Jeanne, right

MMK_Vienna says, "No, take your critique. Is alwas intereesting"

Jeanne says, "I see ppl picking the language they want to hear it in and only hearing that speaker"

Juli says, "yes, one thing that will help, is that our web interface is coming along nicely"

Jeanne says, "if they want to"

LeeG agree with vienna. Let's hear what you thought

Juli says, "and we may be able to offer connections that way"

JanetC says, "Juli, like I said, the intertwingling of the language was a tremendous effect."

Jeanne says, "MOO's allow total customizability so we should take advantage of it"

Juli nods at Jeanne

You suddenly smell something that reminds you of a fresh brewed coffee. Monika is coming in slowly, trying not to spill her coffee.

Juli places a fragrant plumeria lei around Nothing's neck in congratulations.

MMK_Vienna [to Juli]: I am georg

MonikaW collapses

Jeanne says, "and allow for ppl who want to see all the languages"

Juli grins at MMK

JanetC nods at Jeanne.

LeeG hugs mon

SantiagoP catches Mon

MMK_Vienna grina back andogynously.

BorisK pats on Mon's shoulder

MonikaW says, "ok I think we are on our end now"

SantiagoP [to MonikaW]: Bravo!!!!!

Jeanne is gonna have to bug ken for an updated theatre now

Jim applauds

Juli says, "we have begun to discuss ways that the MOO performance would be more than a mirror of the one on the physical stage...anyone interested in that track"

NinaLN pats Mon on the back.

Juli smiles at Jeanne

Juli places a fragrant plumeria lei around Nothing's neck in congratulations.

Cil smiles

Jim [to Juli]: Yes

Juli places a fragrant plumeria lei around MonikaW's neck in congratulations.

Jeanne says, "I really wanted to see some acting. I was into it"

GeorgL says, "Hey switched"

Jeanne says, "more than jut narration."

SantiagoP [to MonikaW]: quite well for a T minus 20 minutes rehearsal...

Juli says, "we hope to be able to make it so the audience does interact with the performance"

MMK_Vienna says, "ok I am mon now"

NinaLN wonders, "Were the Web sound/graphics supposed to complement the MOO text?"

JanetC found some words in one language to be more evocative than another. We usually can't get that effect on an offline stage...at least in ways that the audience makes its own visual threads.

GeorgL says, "because my comp is higher up than hers"

MMK_Vienna [to SantiagoP]: there where ALOG oT of people

SantiagoP [to MMK_Vienna]: so how did you see things there?

MMK_Vienna says, "and actually it DID work"

Jeanne says, "have a vision of doing a play on MOO where you're given the idea of the play and what happens but make up your own dialogue to achieve that end"

GeorgL [to NinaLN]: Yeha I think this would have to wokr

MMK_Vienna says, "there was just not the patience here"

JanetC wnders if she is making sense.

LeeG [to NinaLN]: everything was supposed to complement each other

Juli [to Jeanne]: which works perfectly with this project

GeorgL says, "I was not sure about the cues at all because Vienna failed me qwith the music"

Juli says, "Monika et all have talked about having the MOO performance be the Gods watching the action"

SteveS [to Juli]: How brechtian...

SantiagoP [to MMK_Vienna]: but you know they're not there to look at an InterNet screen...

Jeanne says, "that is an interesting idea"

Juli says, "so the moo aud would actually be characters in the performance, seen onstage if the aud irl wants to look"

GeorgL says, "Yeah I tink the mirror WAS a good Idea."

JanetC says, "Yes what a neat idea."

Cil says, "That is a neat idea"

Jeanne found bullfinch's mythology serach engine last night

SantiagoP says, "agree."

TwylaM-S nods, too...

GeorgL says, "It was like a broafdcast"

MMK_Vienna asks, "hawe anybody tried the internet screens?"

LeeG applauds jim for his great work

Jeanne asks, "what internet screens?"
