time (HST)
MonikaW drops Oudeis Recorder (recording).
MonikaW asks, "where could you raise this money
from?"
MonikaW asks, "from the performance itself?"
LeeG says, "Maybe my idea is naive but there
are virtually no expenses to staging BLISS and I figure each performance
could easily clear 1000 dollars"
LeeG says, "Yes, from the performance itself"
LeeG asks, "So, how much money does oudeis have
and how much does it need?"
LeeG asks, "Or is this top secret?"
GeorgL teleports in
KarinM teleports in
GeorgL exclaims, "Hi everybody!"
MonikaW waves at Karin
LeeG says, "Hi Georg, Hi Karin"
MonikaW [to LeeG]: "so here is the person to
ask these questions
MonikaW looks releived from the heavy question of
money
KarinM says, "Hi, everybody, a day with many
news!""
LeeG [to KarinM]: Please go on
LeeG [to KarinM]: I was wondering how much money
oudeis has and needs?
LeeG says, "Money, what a dreary topic"
KarinM says, "we had a date today with the say"
LeeG [to KarinM]: are you there?
MonikaW says, "one moment"
RainerF teleports in
KarinM says, "today we had a meeiting with Mr
Stocker ( the director of the ars electronica ce"
GeorgL says, "Hi Rainer"
RainerF says Hi to all
MonikaW sees Karin 's struggeling with moo communication
LeeG waves to Rainer
LeeG [to KarinM]: take your time
GeorgL asks, "to RainerF Finally got some personality,
hah?"
RainerF says, "[to GeorgL] yes, now I start
feeling like a human ..."
MonikaW thinks people are coming late tonight :(
GeorgL [to RainerF]: ...Emperor
LeeG [to RainerF]: Is that a virtual human or a real
human?
RainerF exclaims, "[to Lee] both !"
MonikaW [to LeeG]: "so what did you want to

LeeG [to RainerF]: So you are literally virtual and
virtually literal
MonikaW says, "seh will speak about ars later
when the others are here"
MonikaW [to KarinM]: "lee wanted to know how
much money we have / need for oudeis
LeeG [to KarinM]: I was wondering how much money
oudeis had and needs?
MonikaW grins at lee - "great minds think alike"
LeeG [to mo]: Synched
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.
TwylaM-S waves.
MonikaW exclaims, "twyla!"
LeeG smiles at Monika
MonikaW hugs Twyla
GeorgL waves and grins at Twykla oops Wyla oops Twyla...
TwylaM-S says, "Hi, sorry I'm late ... working
on my oral presentation for tomorrow."
TwylaM-S laughs.
LeeG hugs Twyla
GeorgL is embarrased.
LeeG thinks Twyla is still thinking about netsed
TwylaM-S waves and hugs and smiles at everyone (including
Georg).
TwylaM-S grins at Lee -- he may be more right than
he knows.
LeeG blushes for twyla
MonikaW says, "hi Twyla - there is the money
question raised at the moment"
TwylaM-S says, "Oh. I don't have any."
GeorgL grins.
MonikaW says, "well, so we both should try to
get out of here :-)"
TwylaM-S laughs.
GeorgL exclaims, "Stay!"
TwylaM-S says, "mmmm ... for you ... okay."
TwylaM-S has disconnected.
GeorgL says, "Big boss is missing...."
GeorgL says, "And Twyla..."
KarinM says, "gernot and I are working on anew
budget, because we have to wait till next week."
KarinM [to decide]: what kind of light, how many
etc, so we will do LeeG thinks Twyla is
LeeG [to KarinM]: How much money did the old budget
call for?
TwylaM-S has connected.
GeorgL exclaims, "hi again!"
KarinM says, "gernot and I are working on anew
budget, because we have to wait till next week."
LeeG asks, "Just an approximation?"
TwylaM-S says, "sorry new client and I bumped
myself off (I'm having a dork phase)."
KarinM [to decide]: what kind of light, how many
etc, so we will do LeeG thinks Twyla is
TwylaM-S [to LeeG]: Is what?!?!?!?
LeeG says, "I think we are in a time warp..."
KarinM says, "gernot and I are working on anew
budget, because we have to wait till next week."
KarinM says, "We have a meeting by the governement
and then we will know how much money we wi"
GeorgL grins at LeeG.
LeeG says, "Sorry, Twyla, I'll try to keep it
to two sylables"
KarinM says, "to decide what kind of light,
how many etc, so we will do LeeG thinks Twyla is"
KarinM says, ".... know how much money we wi"
KarinM says, "sorry, I try again this whole

TwylaM-S is tapping her foot.
KarinM says, "gernot and I are working on"
KarinM says, "anew budget, because we have"
KarinM says, "to wait till next week."
KarinM says, "We have a meeting by the"

KarinM says, "a date with the lighting firm"
KarinM says, "and than Gernot has"
KarinM says, "to decide what kind of light,"
KarinM says, "how many etc, so we will do"
KarinM says, "then a maximum and a"
KarinM says, "minimum budget,"
LeeG [to KarinM]: OK, so for now there is no budget,
correct?
KarinM says, "yes"
MonikaW wipes the sweat of "uff"!
LeeG says, "Whew. all right."
GeorgL wonders where everybody is.
MonikaW thinks Gernot tried to relax from the travel
to linz TOOOOOO long!
SantiagoP teleports in
SantiagoP exclaims, "hi!"
LeeG waves to Santiago
MonikaW waves at Santiago
SantiagoP waves to everybody.
GeorgL waves at Santiago and wipes his forehead...
MonikaW [to LeeG]: "so is this question now
clearer for you?
MonikaW hears gernot coming in the back!
SantiagoP exclaims, "sorry i'm late!"
KarinM exclaims, "Hi, Santiago!"
SantiagoP [to KarinM]: hi!
LeeG [to mo]: Well, at least I knw there is presently
no budget
KarinM says, "Where is Dan?""
TwylaM-S belatedly says, "hi!
MonikaW says, "ok, Gernot will be here in a
second, thatn we could tell some news :)"
SantiagoP [to RainerF]: so you finally got a name...
is it rAiner or rEiner?
MonikaW thanks all for the patience
RainerF says, "[to Santiago] it is rAiner, with
an A ..."
SantiagoP [to RainerF]: tnx.
LeeG [to RainerF]: since you are the emperor wouldn't
it be reigner?
RainerF says, "[to santiago] youre welcome"
GernotL teleports in
RainerF says, "to [LeeG] good idea, but it wouldnt
work out in german ... ;-)"
GeorgL cheers for Gernot.
SantiagoP exclaims, "hi, gernot! finally got
a name!"
GernotL says, "HI all its agood day for the
project"
MonikaW says, "ok, so we have had a chat with
Gerfried Stocker today"
MonikaW says, "he leads the AEC center in Linz
Austria"
SantiagoP . o O ( AEC? )
MonikaW says, "this is kind of "new museum"
for art with communication media - art and technology"
SantiagoP nods.
MonikaW says, """
MonikaW says, "http://www.aec.at/"
MonikaW blushes
MonikaW says, "ok, and he seems to be interested
in our project"
MonikaW says, "in fact he is very interested
:)"
MonikaW says, "said we should try to perform
it DURING the Ars Electronica ..."
MonikaW says, "this is a festival (sep 8th -
sep 13th 1997)"
MonikaW says, "a very BIG one"
MonikaW looks proud
SantiagoP exclaims, "but that's a month before
our date!"
MonikaW nods
MonikaW says, "that's the "bad " side"
MonikaW says, "he also said, there is the possibility
..."
MonikaW says, "to make a "try " of
the whole project"
MonikaW says, "to show the work in progress"
MonikaW says, "and perfrom on a later date"
SantiagoP nods
MonikaW says, "maybe the 1998 conference (in
autumn as well)"
MonikaW says, "so thats the current status ,
we dont know yet what to think of it for ourselves"
MonikaW says, "its like a "dream"
for us"
MonikaW asks, "do you know ars electronica?"
SantiagoP says, "and that's almost a year after..."
MonikaW says, "what do you think="
SantiagoP says, "i guess it would be very good
to be in the festival."
MonikaW waits for the but
SantiagoP says, "but would prefer to fo it the
'work in progress' way."
BorisK teleports in
SantiagoP laughsssssss.
MonikaW waves at Boris
SantiagoP . o O ( fo=do )
BorisK bows to all, aplogizes for coming late ...
GeorgL greets Boris.
SantiagoP waves o boris.
KarinM says, "greets to boris"
LeeG waves to boris
BorisK exclaims, "Hello all!"
GernotL says, "hello to all"
MonikaW [to Broris]: "just spoke about that
ARs electronica is interested in our project - do you know ars?
BorisK says, "[to Monika] Oh yes - sounds fine
... no, I havne't heardf of ars before (only read about it in
your postinhgs)"
MonikaW says, "the festival would be perfect
because of the audience that we will get and ..."
MonikaW asks, "and because they could probably
help us with stuff, development and money!?"
GernotL asks, "this is like a dream for us but
we dnt know how we handle this situation in the moment, and what
it means working progress?"
MonikaW http://www.aec.at/
MonikaW asks, "what do you think about the possibility
of stagin it in September 1997??"
BorisK [to Monika"Do]: they impose any demands
on you, I mean in terms of schedule or contwent?
KarinM asks, "what will it mean for the whole
project if we have the real performance next year?"
SantiagoP says, "about that: Joyce's last work
(Finnegan's Wake) was called 'Work in Progress' while he was working
on it. he published excerpts on newspapers and magazines, and
when he finished it, he changed the name."
SantiagoP [to KarinM]: peace of mind?
MonikaW [to BorisK]: content - no I think, shedule
yes because the festival is only once a year - so the question
is this autumn or next autumn
BorisK nods
MonikaW [to SantiagoP]: ? what do you mean?
SantiagoP says, "couldn't we perform oudeis
after this festival, and then again on the next year's one? (maybe
a 'version 2')"
MonikaW nods at Santiago
BorisK exclaims, "an update!"
MonikaW says, "a possibility"
SantiagoP [to MonikaW]: just some info on the phrase.
i find it interesting 'cos he also worked on the odyssey ('Ulysses')
MonikaW asks, "I did understand Gerfried Stockers
words like this - what do you think gernot?"
MonikaW asks, "you mean joice?"
RainerF says, "wouldnt consider this a good
idea. the overall interest for the 2nd performance would be low,
I guess (because it is nothing new, then)"
MonikaW hms at rainer
SantiagoP [to MonikaW]: James Joyce, Dubliner.
BorisK agrees with Raibner
SantiagoP grins.
MonikaW says, "depends on the development"
MonikaW blushes for the typo
BorisK asks, "So you are all seriously considering
a change of date?"
GernotL says, "i understand that Gerfried wood
like to do a first version specaly for this september also with
the ideae "cave" and than he will develope the hole
project for the next year"
KarinM asks, "to Santiago would it be possible
for you to to make the performance this september?"
MonikaW [to BorisK]: "one month earlier!
SantiagoP says, "when i say 'version 2' i mean
a big change... maybe a totally different project, woth some other
story, with some concepts shared with oudeis (multiple stages
around the world, audience remote interaction, etc)."
SantiagoP [to KarinM]: er... don't know. in fact
i'm having some problems with the management part here.
MonikaW says, "so stocker made a suggestion
to use another technology colled CAVE for the first version (I
am not a fan of this idea) CAVE is a VRML environment"
KarinM asks, "some problems that you can handle
or bigger ones?"
SantiagoP [to KarinM]: another thing is that there
will be a huge international theatre festival here in October,
and it would be good for us to get into it here.
MonikaW says, "so the lightthing would be totally
different"
LeeG asks, "What did Gerfried Stocker actual
committ to?"
LeeG asks, "actually commit to?"
MonikaW says, "well, ..."
SantiagoP [to KarinM]: as i told Gernot i'm no producer,
and the managing part is quite messy here. i hope i'll find a
real producer soon.
MonikaW says, "he said that there are the possibilities
of .."
MonikaW says, "and showin g"
MonikaW says, "sorry, again"
SantiagoP [to Karon]: next thursday i have a meeting
with an actress here who has lots of contacts and is very interested
in being part of the project. Gernot knows her. i guess she and
Guillermo (a very good friend of mine) will be in the production
team.
MonikaW says, "we could show smaller" performance
this year - would mean only a performance in Linz"
MonikaW says, "showing the worldwide version
next year"
MonikaW asks, "???"
SantiagoP [to KarinM]: the problem is that Guillermo
(who i trust a lot) is on vacation 'till mid-march!
MonikaW says, "I think the main point lies in
the technical equipment (crossed with the conceptual idea)"
SantiagoP asks, "but wouldn't we have to change
the techniques used to other ones?"
LeeG asks, "So, they would supply the equipment
for a small show in Linz?"
MonikaW looks questioningly
RainerF says, "I think that with a delay/break/pause
of almost a year, somebody might pick up our idea and make a performance
that draws all attention."
MonikaW [to LeeG]: "suppose so
GernotL says, "maybe we could show the the first
step in september in Linz the second part in Vienna in october
and next year the hole thing, that means we have also this theaterfestival
in october in the programm"
SantiagoP says, "agree with Rainer."
MonikaW [to RainerF]: "thats one reason why
we SHOULD show something this year!
SantiagoP [to GernotL]: tnx!
KarinM says, "to Santiago: Good luck!:agree"
MonikaW asks, "maybe we do not need the 1998
performance???"
SantiagoP asks, "so what if we perform a 'sketch'
of oudeis on ARS and then our full project on october?"
MonikaW asks, "have a "try " in september
- and another performance in octobre?"
SantiagoP asks, "another thing: i think a very
important part of oudeis is the interaction between actors...
how would we show this on only one stage?"
BorisK wondres, er, wqon, er, wonders if the october
performance could benefit from the setptember performance - or
if it would just be double work?
LeeG asks, "Is this a firm committment from
Stocker or just a strong interest?"
MonikaW says, "strong interest"
MonikaW [to SantiagoP]: "exactly, I do not know
how to do a "reduced" version
GernotL says, "sorry santiago, the public relationsby
the ars is to big, that we can say first step Linz and the performance
in october, the second point is that we have in Linz other technical
possibilities"
LeeG says, "Making plans on the basis of one
discussion can be risky"
SantiagoP [to BorisK]: i think thw full performance
would benefit from the ARS one. it would be something like an
open final rehearsal.
MonikaW exclaims, "work in progress! exactely!"
SantiagoP says, "one idea i can think of is
to set up two or three different stages in the same city."
BorisK [to SantiagoP]: UNder normal circumstances
yes, but to my impression, the time schedule is quite ... narrow?
MonikaW says, "well, Gernot thinks we here could
make it till september - but we can think that this is hard work
for you"
SantiagoP [to BorisK]: but september would be 15
days before we begin with our open rehearsals!
MonikaW [to BorisK]: "what is the difference?
3 stages in one city is not esier than worldwide?
SantiagoP [to MonikaW]: you?
GernotL says, "im agree Santigo"
LeeG asks, "Is there a rehearsal schedule in
existence?"
RainerF says, "to santiago: setting up 2/3 stages
in ONE city is, uhm, to plain. we have the whole world accessable
via the internet, and we should use it this way."
SantiagoP says, "yup. i don't like it too much
either, but is the only way i can think of putting the play toether
in one city."
MonikaW says, "yes, thats what I think too,
So this would not really be a reduced version, so why doing it
:)"
GernotL says, "hey friends, no stress by the
hole discussion, we need all of us a little bit more time to think
about the news, we know the news only few hours, so again no stress"
MonikaW grins at Gernot trying to calm us down
SantiagoP says, "i agree with Lee that maybe
we should wait 'till things get clear."
SantiagoP says, "clearer."
SantiagoP says, "more clear."
SantiagoP asks, "???"
MonikaW says, "we have the next meeting at march
18th"
LeeG asks, "Why don't you ask Stocker exactly
what he's prepared to do?"
SantiagoP asks, "not March 11?"
MonikaW says, "but what we should discuss here
is what we CAN imagine to do till autumn in any way"
MonikaW exclaims, "18th is the meeting with
stocker!"
SantiagoP exclaims, "one thing we should do
is finish the text!!!"
MonikaW nods at Santiago
MonikaW says, "exactly"
MonikaW says, "so what stocker wants to provide
..."
MonikaW looks at gernot who feels like nobody notices
him today
SantiagoP says, "i found there's a problem with
the last (7th) episode: it spans over around six 'books' on homer's
text, and is quite difficult to shorten."
MonikaW [to SantiagoP]: "this is the return
episode?
GernotL says, "i think Gerfried Stocker like
this project but he didnt think clearly what he will do with the
projekt, he will have the project in the performance, in the festival"
MonikaW feels ashamed had so less time to look into
the text recently
SantiagoP says, "yup. return and killing of
the suitors."
MonikaW [to GernotL]: "and he asked about our
budget!!
MonikaW says, "which we couldnt answer :)"
MonikaW says, "so I think he would provide us
with money as well"
LeeG nods in understanding
MonikaW asks, "as a coproducer you said!?"
MonikaW asks, "so what would you like to do
now? discuss the text? or what we should do with our sheduled
date??"
MonikaW [to SantiagoP]: "are you ok?
LeeG asks, "What's with the copyright?"
MonikaW looks at Gernot
SantiagoP [to MonikaW]: yup! why?
KarinM we are working on that.
MonikaW [to SantiagoP]: "because you are so
silent.
SantiagoP says, "i think the date thing should
be settled down before we move on."
LeeG thinks it's strange to even be working on editing
Cook's translations let alone talk about finishing it before copyright
approval
SantiagoP [to MonikaW]: was eating...
MonikaW says, "ok ,lets get this straight -
we concentrated on to many organistional things recently here
..."
MonikaW says, "but missed the copyright organisation"
MonikaW says, "thats what we will do ASAP"
MonikaW says, "same thing with the text"
LeeG asks, "Do what with text?"
MonikaW [to santaigo]: "yes, date before text?
MonikaW is confused
SantiagoP says, "and the copyright should be
checked for all languajes... spanish is no problem, i guess, since
we're using an out of copyright translation."
SantiagoP says, "Date before text."
MonikaW nods
LeeG has problems with text but will wait for discussion
on date
GeorgL grins and nods.
TwylaM-S laughs,
GernotL says, "i think that the copxyright is
only a question of money"
SantiagoP [to GeorgL]: you too quiet today... feeling
sleepy?
GeorgL [to SantiagoP]: Tooth hurts (nudge, bnudge)...
GeorgL grins.
TwylaM-S exclaims, "Poor Georg!"
TwylaM-S sympathetically fusses over Georg and his
tooth.

SantiagoP teleports in
MonikaW says, "oh no san is gone"
GernotL says, "sorry Lee, but feel me the first
time in the evening that somebody understand me"

TwylaM-S cheers mightily -- even if it's stil am

SantiagoP exclaims, "er... anybody want some
champagne? i owe this to the vienna staff here present!"
MonikaW says, "before trinking foolisly"
MonikaW grins at santiago
RainerF says, "regarding the domain thing: several
minutes ago, I succeeded in setting up the nameserver software.
This means that I will register the oudeis.org domain soon, but
I am looking for someone who is willing to provide the secondary
name server."
GeorgL cheers for the emperor.
MonikaW removes Magic Moon Potion from Champagne
Cart.
SantiagoP [to RainerF]: secondary?
MonikaW sips eir Magic Moon Potion and spills the
whole glass down eir shirtfront.
GeorgL cheers for the emperor.
LeeG [to ge]: Even though it's morning here, I'll
join you and the others in a glass of wine
TwylaM-S raises an eyebrow at Mon.
MonikaW [to RainerF]: "I think this is a "samall"
problem - thgouth I should check this
MonikaW says, "sorry needed a drink"
KarinM says, "a glass of champagner would be
very fine after this day.."
SantiagoP removes Mumm from Champagne Cart.
SantiagoP sips eir Mumm and finishes the glass in
one swallow.
SantiagoP exclaims, "cheers!"
MonikaW exclaims, "cheers!"
MonikaW exclaims, "soo!!!"
RainerF says, "to santiago: yes, some kind of
backup name server. this is a must."
GeorgL is a teetotal.
TwylaM-S says, "Okay you twisted my arm, and
besides Lee, I'd hate for you to drink in the morning alone."
RainerF says, "sorry, I dont drink alcohol.
not even virtual one."
SantiagoP [to ranier]: maybe i can get something
here, but would it work?
LeeG appreciates Twyla's company
SantiagoP sips eir Mumm and realizes that someone
has secretly exchanged eir drink for Diet 7-Up.
BorisK has disconnected.
KarinM removes Veuve Cliquot from Champagne Cart.
MonikaW doesnt like this to move to a driniking meeting
GernotL removes Pellegrino from Champagne Cart.
KarinM sips eir Veuve Cliquot and enjoys the delicate
tingling feeling.
TwylaM-S removes Korbel from Champagne Cart.
LeeG says, "Regarding the September date..."
MonikaW says, "cheers on ARs electronica"
TwylaM-S exclaims, "Rainer, there's an NA root
beer float!"
MonikaW sighs
TwylaM-S sips eir Korbel and downs the bubbly and
gives three cheers for Dan Zellner of StudioZ.
GernotL sips eir Pellegrino and realizes that someone
has secretly exchanged eir drink for Diet 7-Up.
RainerF exclaims, "to twyla ?!"
LeeG asks, "We should see what equippment and
resources they can offer and then we would know what is possible,
correct?"
GeorgL raises a imagined virtual drink to everybody.
TwylaM-S [to RainerF]: Non-alcoholic.
RainerF says, "I see ..."
TwylaM-S exclaims, "To the fine people here!"
GernotL says, "to lee yes"
TwylaM-S sips eir Korbel and toasts Mark Heckler,
ATHE President.
SantiagoP [to RainerF]: would it help you if i got
that here?
RainerF says, "just finished my real "latella",
a soft drink containing maracujas from brasil :)"
SantiagoP [to RainerF]: i mean... the secondary being
so far from the primary.
MonikaW [to LeeG]: "thank you for getting things
straight - so santiago?
TwylaM-S [to RainerF]: Sounds tasty.
TwylaM-S sips eir Korbel and wants more..more..more.
SantiagoP puts Mumm in Champagne Cart.
LeeG [to GernotL]: It may be that all they are interested
in is a technical demonstration which probable could be done somewhat
easy
LeeG says, "At least at this stage"
RainerF says, "to santiago: tecically, it would
be possible. tnx for the offer, we should consider this in the
case we cant find another one."
MonikaW puts Magic Moon Potion in Champagne Cart.
SantiagoP [to GernotL]: do you have any idea which
are the tech equipments they can provide?
SantiagoP says, "brb"
MonikaW [to LeeG]: "do you think we will have
problems to get the concpetual idea straight? so that we could
only show somethink technically?
The usher arrives to escort BorisK out of ATHEMOO.
MonikaW [to LeeG]: "or at least get the text
till than?
GernotL says, "sorry santiago I dont know in
the moment, for me today is a big surprise"
RainerF [to LeeG:]: hm, well. It depends on how "demonstrative"
the whole thing should be. to move some light cones across the
stage is easy, but if all the software and hardware is required
to be finished, we could as well do the final performance
SantiagoP is back.
LeeG [to mo]: I think a major part of this project
is the idea the much of the concept is the technology
SantiagoP [to GernotL]: OK.
MonikaW [to SantiagoP]: "he (gerfried) said
that he could support us for sure with 5 or 6 computers and Internet
lines during the performacne
MonikaW asks, "well generally said I am for
the whole or for nothing - because I can not say which part we
could LEAVE away!?"
SantiagoP [to MonikaW]: ok. i guess they will need
the line for other projects during the festival too.
GernotL says, "I think, we have to do a difference
between our situation in Austria and the situation for the hole
project"
MonikaW says, "well the AEC is a "house"
(real one) which has lines constantly - he was also speaking of
ATM (?) connections"
SantiagoP [to RainerF]: where you at the meeting
today?
RainerF says, "to santiago: No, I wasnt."
SantiagoP [to RainerF]: ATM... that was FAST, wasn't
it?
MonikaW says, "unfortunately"
MonikaW grins at Rainer - meaning this honestly
RainerF says, "to Santiago: yes, ATM is supposed
to be fast; but if it is fast only inhouse ...+"
GernotL says, "first of all for the your part
the changement could be the date, and the develeopment for us
is a big decison, Vienna or Linz and also the development 19997
- 1998"
And elegantly attired usher arrives to take the empty
glass of Veuve Cliquot from KarinM back to the champagne cart
in the Dancer's Barre and Grille.
MonikaW says, "any how if we perform on AEC
in the austrian case - we will have less problems to stage the
thing - so it will be easier for us to do it in september - but
the situation for you is more difficult I think"
And elegantly attired usher arrives to take the empty
glass of Pellegrino from GernotL back to the champagne cart in
the Dancer's Barre and Grille.
And elegantly attired usher arrives to take the empty
glass of Korbel from TwylaM-S back to the champagne cart in the
Dancer's Barre and Grille.
MonikaW asks, "gernot?"
SantiagoP [to RainerF]: one thing we should think
of is the RA servers... a 128Kbps connection can only hold around
20 streams at once... that's not at all enough! (even if we have
a server on each venue it's only 300 connections!
SantiagoP asks, "i think time is a problem only
with regards to production. the creative and technical aspects
can be hurried. agree?"
MonikaW exclaims, "agree!!!!!!!!!"
SantiagoP asks, "Rainer?"
LeeG does not agree
SantiagoP looks at lee.
GernotL says, "to santiago bravo santi, thank
you, i believed"
RainerF says, "to Santiago: sure. the idea of
the tech concept was to locate the web server in the providers
rooms (server housing) to take full advantage of the providers
lines (hopefully more than 128k). the 128k line to the stage was
only intended to carry one live stream and the streams from the
other stages together with sensor/lighting/text data; but not
the cyberaudiences sound streams"
MonikaW asks, "lee?"
LeeG thinks the creative aspects have already been
way overlooked
MonikaW nods at lee
MonikaW says, "right one more reason to drive
it forward"
LeeG thinks it may be possible to do a scaled down
version at Linz
RainerF says, "yes, technically speaking, we
could hurry up (as long as there is cash and hardware available)"
MonikaW [to LeeG]: "wha? dont you think we could
get it till then?
LeeG Thinks that maybe we should look at Linz as
more of a demonstration than a production
MonikaW says, "i mean we do have to know what
we want before we can drive the technic forward"
MonikaW says, "so we have to know ..."
MonikaW says, "what we want to stage (text)"
MonikaW says, "whom (how many actors)"
MonikaW says, "and how (the lightcones)"
MonikaW asks, "right?"
LeeG says, "I think the technical aspects of
this production have always been driving the creative side"
MonikaW says, "I mean the "general"
concept should be clear in some way"
MonikaW [to LeeG]: "yes - that is right!
RainerF says, "to leeg: I consider it the other
way round :)"
MonikaW says, "we realized this today - while
speaking of the lightcones"
SantiagoP thinks we can hurry it. just work more
on it and finish it. kill it. etc.
SantiagoP says, "and i think it's interesting
to have three visible steps to the final performance: a scaled
down '`pre-view', then the open rehearsal/setting up of the stage,
and then the performance itself."
MonikaW says, "because we are thinking of a
technical possiblity at the moment that would probably be easier
(technically) but not more "living""
LeeG [to mo]: Yes , I think the general concept should
be known
SantiagoP likes number three.
RainerF says, "sorry, I was a bit wrong when
I summarized the light-meeting. we discussed two"
KarinM says, "to Santiago, its a good proposal."
LeeG [to SantiagoP]: I think the way we are going
will kill it
SantiagoP says, "and it also may be analogy
to the three parts of the stage (stage, tech-gods, screens)"
GernotL says, "iIm agree with Santiago, 3 steps
but we have to know more about the conditions in Linz, maybe the
have money for two years, or the can pay all the artists"
LeeG says, "Yes, let"
MonikaW asks, "santiago - in which time span
do you think of the 3 steps?"
MonikaW asks, "during one year??"
LeeG says, "Why not take it one step at a time..."
MonikaW [to LeeG]: "why are you so pessimistic?
SantiagoP says, "nope... all betwee september
and october '97"
MonikaW [to santaigo]: "I agree definitly!!
LeeG says, "Maybe see aboout a demonstratin
in Linz"
GernotL exclaims, "to santiago aha!!"
MonikaW says, "this is like it would be one
step :)"
MonikaW thinks this means gernot likes it as well
SantiagoP says, "possible dates would be between
8-13/9 for the preview (within ARS), 25/9-15/10 for the open stage
and 16,18,20/10 for the performances."
MonikaW grins at the tired gernot
MonikaW tries to write this down
SantiagoP is looking at his multi-purpose calendar...
:)
LeeG asks, "So, what would the preview be, a
demonstration?"
SantiagoP asks, "what about just one episode?"
MonikaW asks, "so everybody aggrees to santiogos
propsion?"
MonikaW asks, "no, not only one! or is this
bette?"
MonikaW cant type any more
SantiagoP says, "to make it simpler..."
MonikaW says, "well , take the worst case -
maybe we could leave this possibility open"
LeeG says, "I vote that we wait for more information
from Stocker and then see what our options are."
MonikaW asks, "lee?"
MonikaW says, "Rainer"
MonikaW nods at lee
GernotL exclaims, "to Lee year!!!!!!"
SantiagoP says, "agree with lee. was just an
idea that can be done if all this gets to good ends."
MonikaW think this shedule can drive the hole production
forward
MonikaW hopes it at least
RainerF says, "well. I ask myself if the "few"
days between the scheduled date in Oct and the Ars date in Sep
make such a big difference."
SantiagoP agrees
SantiagoP [to RainerF]: it's a month!
MonikaW [to RainerF]: "dont you know what one
month means in rehearsal time ;)
RainerF says, "yes, we definitely need more
infos from stocker."
GernotL says, "to rainer for us not but one
month in the theater can be very long"
MonikaW says, "ok , so lets leave this discussion
now and switch to the next point"
MonikaW says, "whi"
MonikaW asks, "which is?"
SantiagoP asks, "...ch would be?"
RainerF says, "yup, I know, its even a big time
in computer science (speaking as student of computer science)
;-)"
SantiagoP asks, "text?"
GernotL says, "for vienna , we have to sleep
one night about the possibilities and we have to discuss our possibilities
immedetley"
MonikaW asks, "text?"
MonikaW says, "we are not quite prepared"
MonikaW blushes
MonikaW asks, "first scene?"
LeeG says, "Whoa..."
SantiagoP says, "nope... last episode. that's
our first problem, i think."
LeeG asks, "How about text in general?"
MonikaW says, "so we decided to skip the "Zeus""
MonikaW says, "ok - last"
SantiagoP exclaims, "i mean: someone should
write down a first draft, so we can move on with the whole story!"
SantiagoP . o O ( irst draft of the last episode.
)
MonikaW asks, "how should we reduce odysseus
return?"
SantiagoP . o O ( first draft of the last episode.
)
MonikaW says, "I would leave the story with
the suitors out of it"
LeeG says, "I think there are several major
problems with the entire text"
MonikaW says, "maybe only have a scene between
odysseus and penelope"
SantiagoP lloks at lee.
MonikaW asks, "Lee?"
SantiagoP [to MonikaW]: gut!
LeeG says, "First of all, I would like to say
that artistic differences do not mean personal differences"
SantiagoP nods.
MonikaW asks, "lee?"
LeeG exclaims, "I think that it is ironic the
for the core (text) of a project that calls itself revolutionary
the most conservative, least inspired approach possible has been
taken!"
MonikaW [to SantiagoP]: "well long time not
seen the text:) can not think what we could leave out of the rest
MonikaW [to LeeG]: "which is?
MonikaW asks, "using prewritten words?"
SantiagoP softly says "ouch."
LeeG says, "Yes, taking sections from an epic
poem and rearranging them."
MonikaW [to LeeG]: "what would you suggest to
do?
LeeG says, "Furthermore, as it is written I
do not think it works dramatically"
SantiagoP says, "i think the 'revolutionary'
part of oudeis is not in the text. i'm sure f it, in fact."
SantiagoP thinkd Lee may be right with that.
MonikaW thinks that too (right)
LeeG [to SantiagoP]: And that's part of my point.
The technology is driving the creative aspect into a very narrow
range
GernotL says, "the text could help us to show
our wishes"
LeeG [to GernotL]: and what are our wishes?
SantiagoP [to LeeG]: just in the text... in the music
the concept has evolved free, and is IMHO very interesting.
MonikaW [to SantiagoP]: are there examples to listen
to yet?
SantiagoP [to MonikaW]: nope... next week i hope.
SantiagoP smiles for the rhymes.
LeeG [to SantiagoP]: Yes, the music concept is interesting
but at the heart of this project wrapped in all of the technology
is the dialogue
GernotL says, "to show the odysse in one hour
all over the world in completly new theatralic version"
SantiagoP nods at lee.
MonikaW nods at lee too - dialogue has to be straightened
LeeG says, "And as it now stands the dialogue
is simply an abridged version of Cook's translation...hardly inspirational
for such a major project"
SantiagoP asks, "has any of you seen the new
movie on 'Romeo & Juliet'?"
GernotL says, "and in a new colaboration working
process, also created by a world wide team of artist and backstagepeople"
MonikaW shakes her head on santiagos question
MonikaW [to LeeG]: "anything you can offer for
help?
LeeG [to GernotL]: A project is only as good as its
weakest leak!
LeeG says, "link"
GernotL says, "to lee: maybe your a riht, bur
do you think, that wecanwright our one odyssee"
LeeG [to GernotL]: Yes, I think so
LeeG says, "look, as things now stand all we
have is a poetry reading not a play"
SantiagoP [to MonikaW]: they work with the original
Shakespears's text, but put in a modern Firenze, with guns, and
very music-clip-like direction.
LeeG says, "Granted, an avante garde poetry
reading with lots of technology"
MonikaW [to SantiagoP]: "but they used a play
script as base!
LeeG [to SantiagoP]: Shakespeare wrote plays and
his work is slightly out of copyright
GernotL [to lee:]: so you can to a first draft, that
means 2 or 3 scenes
LeeG [to MonikaW]: We synched again
MonikaW grins at lee - great minds ....
LeeG [to GernotL]: I think something original would
be preferable
LeeG says, "Let's not forget about the copyright
problem\"
LeeG says, "I hope I'm not getting anyone too
angry (a little angry is ok)"
SantiagoP laughsssssss.
LeeG says, "I know a lot of effort has been
put into the text already"
GernotL [to all]: the interesting thing is that the
music come from argentina, the idea from austria, maybe the stage
from brasilia so maybe the text from you Lee, lets take our one
possibilities the network!
LeeG [to GernotL]: Excellent point..
SantiagoP says, "i agree with the idea of writing
a new text... if i don't have to work on it! :)"
MonikaW [to LeeG]: we all know that YOU are the person
who can critizes it! and you are rig
LeeG says, "I think a revolutionary project
calls for something extra"
MonikaW claps on lees shoulder
GernotL laughsssssss to santiago
LeeG smiles and realizes no one has thrown anything
at him
MonikaW [to SantiagoP]: but you already did (wroking
on it)
MonikaW [to LeeG]: "so what are you suggesting?
SantiagoP [to GernotL]: oudeis + work + child being
born in 15 days = possible stress...
MonikaW asks, "could you do some scene?"
MonikaW exclaims, "15 days!!!"
SantiagoP [to MonikaW]: yup!
GernotL [to Lee:]: but the base is the odyssee, naturly
in our century
LeeG says, "In 15 days I will show you something
that will help you and Gernot decide"
MonikaW says, "may be iat this moment we should
also gratulate Karin for her birthday (march 3rd)"
SantiagoP says, "ok, so in 15 days i'll scan
a photo of my just-born child and put it on my site for yu to
decide... ;)"
LeeG says, "Happy birthday, Karin...a fellow
pieces"
MonikaW exclaims, "a toast for the children
in march!"
TwylaM-S [to SantiagoP]: CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Kids
are just amazing.
SantiagoP [to KarinM]: and it's my first one!
GeorgL smiles astonishedly.
TwylaM-S [to KarinM]: CONGRATUALTIONS!!!!!!! Birthdays
are pretty amazing too.
TwylaM-S hugs Santiago and Karin.
SantiagoP [to KarinM]: happy happy birthday birthday!
MonikaW begins to think "in 15 days in 15 days
LeeG [to SantiagoP]: Hey congratulations!
TwylaM-S [to SantiagoP]: If you need any advice,
I am for you!
GernotL [to Santiago:]: maybe in 15 days I scan you
a foto of my new love
SantiagoP [to LeeG]: tnx!
LeeG says, "Misunderstood the 15 days...great
news"
GeorgL exclaims, "Hey, I will move to a new
flat about that time too.!"
SantiagoP laughssssss at gernot
SantiagoP exclaims, "so, the world changes in
15 days... around the date of our next meeting!"
MonikaW grins at Lee
MonikaW asks, "how much time do you think for
"this baby"?"
LeeG blushes
GernotL says, "laughss"
SantiagoP asks, "lee?"
LeeG [to SantiagoP]: thought you were talking about
the gestation of oudeis
TwylaM-S laughs -- miracles can happen!
LeeG exclaims, "Happy to hear it's a literally
gestation and not a virtual one!"
KarinM says, "than you! I would like to celebtrate
my birthday with all of our project."
SantiagoP [to LeeG]: ah... nope. RL kid. name will
be 'Azul', if she's (as we think) a she.
KarinM [to Santiago,]: good luck for your wife
GeorgL [to SantiagoP]: "Azul is a cool name.
Does it mean anything?
MonikaW asks, "btw Mark Kittlaus from Wahingtons
ancient mask repertory theater sent me the "Odyssey"
a play from derek salcott, do you know?"
SantiagoP [to GeorgL]: yup. 'blue' (the color). comes
from arabic, originally meaning 'of the color of the sky'
TwylaM-S thinks Azul is a beautiful name.
RainerF says, "not to mistake for Nazgul :)"
MonikaW says, "derek walcott"
LeeG [to MonikaW]: Just found out about the Walcott
play two days ago....think it's set in the caribean
SantiagoP [to RainerF]: no!!!!!!! dirty dark naughty
spirits...
MonikaW says, "well I think his poem Omeros
is set there (havnt read the play yet)"
MonikaW still have to read soooo many things *blushes*
LeeG says, "I read a review off the web but
that"
SantiagoP [to LeeG]: so will you write something?
MonikaW [to LeeG]: where?
GernotL [to SantiagoP]: bad thougts in the empoers
hat
LeeG says, "Wel, if it sounds like a good idea
to Gernot, Monika, and et al"
LeeG says, "I'll give it a go...already have
some ideas to expand on"
SantiagoP says, "i agree. Lee's the one."
GernotL [to LeeG]: yes, i like the idedea
MonikaW hugs lee
MonikaW says, "uups sorry, couldnt stand"
KarinM says, "good by"
SantiagoP [to KarinM]: bye!
MonikaW waves at karin
LeeG [to MonikaW]: the review was in time magaine...searched

SantiagoP [to MonikaW]: couldn't stand?
TwylaM-S waves.
LeeG waves to karin
KarinM waves to everybody
LeeG hugs Mon
SantiagoP [to TwylaM-S]: bye! nx for the baby-help-offer!
MonikaW says, "couldnt prevent myself from hugging
(bad english this time of the day)"
GeorgL waves to Karin in real life.
GeorgL asks, "Oops soprry Why is everybody leaving
now?"
SantiagoP asks, "er... everybody leaving?"
TwylaM-S [to SantiagoP]: No problem! And I do mean
it -- I remember what new-babyness was like.
GernotL waves karin
MonikaW [to LeeG]: what should i put into the search
engine?
MonikaW is doing multitasking
KarinM has disconnected.
MonikaW exclaims, "so!!"
LeeG [to MonikaW]: The Odyssey: A Stage Play
MonikaW asks, "we will have a baby and a text
till our next meeting?"
RainerF has disconnected.
MonikaW . o O ( March 15th next meeting )
RainerF has connected.
TwylaM-S says, "Oh, I thought it was the 11th..."
LeeG says, "Need to know2 a few things"
TwylaM-S asks, "Why did I think that?"
GeorgL has disconnected.
RainerF teleports out
RainerF teleports in
MonikaW . o O ( march 11th )
LeeG asks, "there will be seven stages...how
many actors envisioned in each stage?"
MonikaW exclaims, "sorry!"
TwylaM-S is relieved she confuses so easily.
RainerF says, "sorry, got kicked out; I am back
again ..."
MonikaW says, "think maximum 2 on every stage"
LeeG [to MonikaW]: OK, that's what I thought
MonikaW says, "which means up to 7 could play
in every scene (look at our tables in the concept)"
GeorgL HAS DISCONNECTED.
LeeG says, "Saw the tables, just wanted to be
sure"
MonikaW says, "but 7 i s MUCH for one scene
- two would be easier"
MonikaW nudges georg
MonikaW [to LeeG]: the tables are rough draft!
LeeG nods
GernotL [to LeeG]: but not 2 in the same time
MonikaW asks, "maybe we could think fof where
to stage what?"
LeeG nods again
SantiagoP says, "!&%&"@# ISP crashed...
hi again."
MonikaW says, "gernot means not 2 actors onstage
on one rl stage"
MonikaW hugs santiago
LeeG [to GernotL]: You mean same location
GernotL [to LeeG]: yes
GeorgL writes down Santiagos swear words.
The usher arrives to escort KarinM out of ATHEMOO.
LeeG ears are ringing from santiago's words
GernotL [to LeeG]: I think its very interesting to
have more actors, also 5 or 6 in the same time time but on each
local stage only one, so we have to think about the changements
for the actors on each stage
SantiagoP is well again... soft, quiet, tranquil,
soft...
GeorgL hums a little tune to calm Santiago down...
SantiagoP laughsssssss.
LeeG [to GernotL]: Yes, I think it is also important
to somehow weave the concept of what we are doing into the text
in a way that enhances it
TwylaM-S says, "I must run -- gotta get ready
for work."
TwylaM-S waves to everyone.
LeeG waves to Twyla
GeorgL says, "Bye, Twyla""
GernotL [to LeeG]: yes we have to do
GernotL waves to twyla
SantiagoP waves to Twyla
MonikaW waves to twlya blows a kiss
LeeG [to GernotL]: to encompass the mythology and
the technology
TwylaM-S hugs Monika, et al.

TwylaM-S goes home.
GernotL [to LeeG]: i agree
GeorgL says, "Brb"
LeeG says, "Well, it looks like we all have
a lot of work to do"
MonikaW nods at lee
LeeG exclaims, "Congratulations to the Vienna
crew for what they accomplished in Linz!"
GernotL [to all,]: specely to lee: that we can say!!
MonikaW grins
GeorgL says, "ab"
LeeG smiles and nods
SantiagoP exclaims, "i have to say something...
i don't know if i'll be here on the MOO next meeting. baby just
born = busy father, i guess!"
GeorgL understands that...
MonikaW laughs
MonikaW have to think about that
MonikaW asks, "what should we do?"
MonikaW says, "mail before"
MonikaW asks, "or meet without you?"
LeeG thinks Santiago better do a lot of sleeping
while he can
MonikaW . o O ( if you have time after???? )
GernotL [to SantiagoP]: felice patre
MonikaW grins at lee - right
MonikaW says, "lets keep the date anyhow"
MonikaW says, "and we will mail as well all
the newest developments (text and ars)"
MonikaW asks, "ok?"
GernotL says, "lets keep the date"
MonikaW says, "beside that - reminder : the
lightcones emotions discussion is still there"
GeorgL has nothing to add to that.
MonikaW looks at Georg "great help"
MonikaW says, "now what we only need is somebody
to help us with the sponsoring concept"
MonikaW sighs
GeorgL hits Monika (softly) with his fist...
GeorgL hits Monika (not so softly) with his fist)...
MonikaW says, "karin (who is on her way home
- to her little son) and I a maybe will work on that tomorrow"
GeorgL says, "No, just lying...""
GernotL [to GeorgL]: we are al in the same boart
GeorgL grins
LeeG says, "Well, maybe the electronica thing
will bring some more appeal to potential sponsors"
MonikaW asks, "oh, btw - what do you think of
creating a ship for our next meeting in ATHEMOO?"
MonikaW asks, "with abundant flesh and wine
on it?"
GeorgL laughs at the MOO abbreviating potenitial
at _pot_...
GernotL [to LeeG]: can be, its a chance
MonikaW nods at lee
LeeG nods heavily with
LeeG says, "Mon, like the ship idea.."
GeorgL starts to headbnagng oops headbang
SantiagoP says, "for the record: $&$%@#."
LeeG says, "especially abundant flesh and wine"
MonikaW says, "just do not know how to start
- MOO programming :)"
GernotL [to all]: i called today felippe, he wandet
to fixe the date for the performance today in Rio in the museum
m of modern art
MonikaW asks, "great! so Rio will join for sure
?"
GeorgL exclaims, "They mzust! They are in the
animations!"
SantiagoP laughsssssss.
MonikaW grins at Georg
GeorgL says, "As is t.b.a., Australisa..."
MonikaW asks, "so should we continue discussion
in two weeks - and on the list?"
MonikaW is tired
SantiagoP says, "yup."
LeeG agrees
MonikaW does not feel very creative for creating
a ship
SantiagoP has to work.
MonikaW asks, "does any body want to creat right
now?"
SantiagoP . o O ( creating = crafting. )
LeeG thinks the Vienna crew has already had a long
day
GeorgL llopk
MonikaW nods at lee
GeorgL blushes.
MonikaW asks, "lee?"
MonikaW asks, "bliss?"
GernotL to lee so, we are very stonest about the
first draft
GeorgL asks, "Stoned?"
LeeG [to GernotL]: Me too!
SantiagoP [to MonikaW]: i don't know if i'll be able
to help with the programming... for sure i can't stay now.
MonikaW exclaims, "gernot meant astonished!"
GeorgL shakes Santiagos hand.
GeorgL says, "Bye!."
MonikaW [to SantiagoP]: "dont work too much!

SantiagoP exclaims, "bye, everybody!"
LeeG waves to Santiago

MonikaW hugs san
SantiagoP waves to everybody.
SantiagoP kisses Mon

RainerF breaks in to leave.
MonikaW says, "gone when I want to kiss him"
GeorgL raises an eybrow...
GernotL goodby to everybody#
GeorgL [to MonikaW]: "Men!
LeeG waves goodbye to the emperor
MonikaW exclaims, "men!!!"
GeorgL exclaims, "Men!!!"
RainerF has disconnected.
LeeG waves goodbye to Gernot
MonikaW says, "rainer - are you ok with technical

GeorgL says, "Bye, everybody! See you next time."
GeorgL laughs...
GernotL has disconnected.
MonikaW blushes
GeorgL says, "Gone when you want to...""
MonikaW exclaims, "georg!!"
LeeG says, "Mon is picking up Snatiago's language"
GeorgL thinks this was a good ending andf leaves...
MonikaW says, "i am sorry - has been a long
day definitely"
GeorgL has disconnected.
LeeG nods
MonikaW waves to georg
MonikaW exclaims, "hm!"
LeeG waves to Georg
MonikaW asks, "so?"
LeeG says, "Well, Mon, it's just us..."
MonikaW asks, "later in detail?"
LeeG says, "No, we can talk about it now"
LeeG says, "Do you have a theatre that you can
use"
MonikaW asks, "ok, so what do you want us to
do ? organize a staging of bliss?"
MonikaW exclaims, "no!"
MonikaW says, "no stage, no actors at the moments"
LeeG says, "Well, that does complicate things"
MonikaW says, "so staging would mean money and
energy here"
LeeG says, "OK, I though you had a resident
theatre or one that was available"
MonikaW says, "even though I am sure (what I
have seen of it) it is "easy" to stage - speaking of
actors and props"
MonikaW says, "no kiskillila is a "free"
group without a house and actors"
The usher arrives to escort RainerF out of ATHEMOO.
LeeG asks, "Is there any way to get a theatre
or auditorium for little or no money?"
MonikaW says, "so how did you think we could
raise money by staging it in vienna"
The usher arrives to escort GernotL out of ATHEMOO.
MonikaW shakes head
MonikaW says, "production i made in December
was LITTLE"
MonikaW says, "and kosted 150 000 aTS"
MonikaW says, "with all things getting from
everywhere (my own matresses made the bed for the lovers :)"
The usher arrives to escort GeorgL out of ATHEMOO.
MonikaW says, "and the actors got nearly nothing
- and I and the director got nothing"
MonikaW asks, "so#?"
MonikaW says, "sorry to disappoint you"
LeeG says, "I guess maybe I was a little naive
but if the theatre could hold even as few as 100 people at a charge
of 10 dollars each...each performance could clear six or seven
hundred dollars"
MonikaW waves at Gernot RL
MonikaW says, "uups georg is waiting for me"
MonikaW says, "i have never seen that"
LeeG says, "YOu seem a little upset..."
MonikaW asks, "do you have experiences with
plays that brought money?"
MonikaW asks, "upset?"
MonikaW says, "no! of course not, just astonished"
LeeG says, "Yes, I have seen plays make money"
LeeG says, "OK, it looks as though this idea
would not work in Vienna..."
LeeG says, "Still, when you get a chance read
it and tell me what you think"
MonikaW says, "cool thing - one reason I want
to learn somthing from you americans :)"
MonikaW exclaims, "money business is SO different
- think of the sponsor story as well!"
MonikaW asks, "hey what 's about the line?"
MonikaW asks, "is there a lag here?"
MonikaW says, "lee, of course I read it"
LeeG says, "I still like the idea"
MonikaW says, "tell you than"
MonikaW grins at lee
MonikaW says, "perhaps at leas t we WILL stage
a play of you"
LeeG says, "I still like the idea of premiering
it in Vienna"
MonikaW says, "gotta go now"
LeeG says, "Is what I meant to say"
MonikaW says, "will think of another poss. of
staging it"
LeeG Hugs Mon
LeeG kisses Mon
MonikaW exclaims, "have to look if it fits better
than desperate deed into vienna!"
MonikaW says, "althouhg i like this play very
much"
LeeG says, "I think it would"
MonikaW kisses lee
LeeG says, "I also think the siege would as
well"
MonikaW says, "bye for now"
MonikaW says, "talk to you later"
MonikaW says, "have to go throuhg it"
MonikaW blushes
LeeG says, "Mon, hope you arent angry about
my comments on the text"
MonikaW waves
MonikaW nods
LeeG kiss Mon again
MonikaW exclaims, "of course NOT!!"
LeeG says, "I know you put a lot of work into
it"
MonikaW says, "thats what I said before - you
have reason to critizes it and I am glad about it"
MonikaW says, "well not enough :)"
LeeG says, "OK"
LeeG says, "I better let you go"
LeeG hugs Mon one more time
