MonikaW turns Oudeis Recorder on.

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.

unwesentlich fr ihn,wird aber auf alle flle versuchen uns Leute zu

vermittelnsay"

SantiagoP [to Shakespeare's_Guest]: guest Hi, Ulli. Glad to meet you.

MonikaW says, "she is making the costumes for oudeis and is helping us with

the directing and text concept"

GernotL [to SantiagoP]: you know that Felippe was in Vienna

SantiagoP says, "i knew about her from the crew pages and from gernot."

The usher arrives to escort SantiagoP out of ATHEMOO.

in RL unterhalktet"

BorisK asks, "ODer?"

BorisK says, "Ich stelle mir das schon etwass selstsam vor, we Ihr da alles

in einem Raum sitzt und jeder auf seinen Monittr starrt ..."

MonikaW [to BorisK]: naja es stimmt irgendwie

BorisK says, "Also, nicht 'seltsam' im negativen Sinnne."

BorisK says, "Aber es ist eine schones Bild."

Shakespeare's_Guest [to boriskomisch]: meinst du,oder

BorisK says, "Vergebem mein Deuts wat is arg#"

SantiagoP teleports in

MonikaW [to BorisK]: habe gerade fuer den status quo einen artikel (nicht

sehr gut) ueber kommunikation geschrieben - das project zeigt viel

(negatives und positves)

SantiagoP says, "sorry... RL phone call to be made."

SantiagoP . o O ( "uh uh... should learn german..." )

BorisK [to MonikaW]: - der fuer die Maerz-Nummer? Habe ihn noch nicht ganz

MonikaW grins at santiago

MonikaW [to BorisK]: schon april

BorisK swithces to his favourite language

MonikaW [to SantiagoP]: so I wanted to ask you something

SantiagoP [to BorisK]: tnx!

SantiagoP [to MonikaW]: yup?

BorisK [to ]: Santioa@abort

GernotL [to SantiagoP]: the meeting will be after the ars

MonikaW is waitign fo r gernot to end his talk with the much wanted santiaog

GernotL says, "the ars is from 7. - 14. 9."

SantiagoP tries to find his own switch, but none of them reads 'Deustch' :(

GernotL says, "Felippe will do the meeting from 15. - 24 .9 . in rio"

SantiagoP . o O ( "tschchstschsthshchsht..." )

BorisK [to SantiagoP]: tengo que estudiar unas palabras espagnol ...

GernotL says, "so Santi I propose that you will come in august to europe

and we go together to Rio"

SantiagoP [to GernotL]: so after ARS Wien goes to rio. but it's just a

meeting.

MonikaW says, "wowowwow"

SantiagoP [to GernotL]: Yes, yes, yesss.

GernotL [to SantiagoP]: He will to the enviroment and a stage

SantiagoP [to GernotL]: when???

Shakespeare's_Guest says, "blubb"

GernotL says, "he will start with the ars"

SantiagoP [to GernotL]: (during ARS or afterwARDS?)

SantiagoP [to GernotL]: OK. got it.

MonikaW hugs ulli

GernotL says, "so he will have the 3rt stage and after 10 days we come to

the meeting"

MonikaW [to GernotL]: meeting means seminar for felippe, right?

MonikaW says, "meeting is this thing we will have in linz"

MonikaW [to BorisK]: will you come as well?

GernotL asks, "whats about the music??"

GernotL [to SantiagoP]: yes a seminar

BorisK [to BorisK]: I've been thinking about coming to the Ars - but it

will be a matter of finance. as alays

SantiagoP says, "i'm finishing the music for Cyclops. then i'll finish the

music for Ithaca and the net-lag storm."

BorisK exclaims, "Hey, I#m talking to myself!"

MonikaW raises hand "may I

SantiagoP laughsssssss

Shakespeare's_Guest [to Borisbut]: you have a regular job, i thought?

GernotL [to SantiagoP]: I red your e-mail but are your content with your

composition??

BorisK [to Shalespeare's]: Guest Not that regulkar ... not that efficient ...

SantiagoP says, "i'm having a bit of a conceptual problem with the prologue

and epilogue music: my intention was that the prologue and epilogue were

made from the sounds written by all the composers,"

SantiagoP says, "but i don't want to force them into writing all their

parts before Linz, since they will not be needed 'till next year."

MonikaW [to SantiagoP]: one problem is that text for prologue is not

finished yet, righ? or is this not= does this not matter

SantiagoP says, "so i think i'll write a sort of 'fake' prologue and

epilogue, and then write another ones for the final thing next year, with

all the music done."

Shakespeare's_Guest [to Santiagowe]: spke with a softwearspecialist,he

tould us that we might have big problems with our sibercore

MonikaW [to SantiagoP]: I do not think we will need the epilogue

MonikaW says, "and if we do not mind about a little collage - you are

definitly right to wait till next year"

SantiagoP [to MonikaW]: it doesn't. the music will be a collection of the

sounds (=verses) of the choros, and doesn't need the prologue text to be

written beforehand.

GernotL [to SantiagoP]: never say "fake" when Monika is here

MonikaW nods at santiago

Shakespeare's_Guest says, "why no epilogue"

SantiagoP [to GernotL]: why?

MonikaW [to sattiago]: second thing is the technical implementation of the

choros - thats what ulli meant can be a problem

MonikaW stays silent

SantiagoP asks, "what's the technical problem?"

MonikaW [to SantiagoP]: but as technical director at the moment is missing,

and we still do not have anybody that would do this implementation

.............

MonikaW sighs

GernotL [to SantiagoP]: this the only raeson for fiting, it means war

between mon and me

MonikaW nudges gernot

MonikaW [to GernotL]: you choose the weapons

MonikaW exclaims, "fake or no fake thats the question!"

MonikaW [to santiaog]: but i wanted to ask you something different

GernotL says, "in the normal life we use only woreds but a little bit

louter than normal"

SantiagoP exclaims, "in fact it wouldn't be a fake one but a more real

one... i'm thinking i'll use the same concept, but only with the sounds

that _will_ be used in Linz, so we're not faking anything!"

MonikaW says, "the technical problems ... yes the fake was only a joke

between gernot and me because I stressed (well I stress with some words)

that I do not want to have faked lightcones"

GernotL [to SantiagoP]: great, no fake

MonikaW [to SantiagoP]: here in vienna we will have the possibility

MonikaW says, "in june"

SantiagoP says, "technically, what's needed is not a director but a

programmer that can handle UNIX machines."

MonikaW says, "20th"

MonikaW says, "uups 29th of june"

MonikaW says, "to present the project in some way in the museum of modern

art, vienna"

SantiagoP exclaims, "er... that's next month!!!"

MonikaW says, "thats their summer party and they normally have some events

on 8pm - 11 pm (when disco starts)"

MonikaW nods

GeorgL decides to go home to work on Status Quo.

MonikaW says, "so what i was thinking about was"

MonikaW says, "we can not present mcuh form oudeis"

MonikaW says, "and we probably shouldnt anyway"

MonikaW says, "showing webpages is not representative as well"

MonikaW says, "so I wanted to introduce you - our composer"

MonikaW says, "and your musci in some way"

MonikaW says, "like having a kind of concert or something"

SantiagoP says, "...i think i can arrange things to do something of an

'oudeis' concert, with some sounds from the choros and the net-storm...

will have to think about it."

SantiagoP asks, "what would be the duration?"

MonikaW says, "yep"

MonikaW says, "I have to say I didnt work it out yet"

MonikaW says, "but the possibilies there are:"

MonikaW says, "we can beam a webpage"

MonikaW says, "have a 2mb line"

MonikaW says, "and have a sound equipment"

SantiagoP . o O ( "scottie... beam me up!" )

SantiagoP asks, "2Mb internet connection?"

GeorgL exclaims, "Sorry to interrupt, but I am off.. See you!"

BorisK [to GeorgL]: bye!

GeorgL says, "Bye..."

MonikaW is looking for her notes

SantiagoP [to GeorgL]: bye... i'll write... have to talk some things with you!

GeorgL [to SantiagoP]: Okay! See you soon!

MonikaW says, "well thats it"

GeorgL has disconnected.

MonikaW says, "i mean we have to think about how we can mise-en-scen the

"presentation of our choros leader Santiago Pereson""

SantiagoP says, "maybe i can write and record the music here, and send you

a DAT or CD to play there (as in an electroacoustics concert), with

something on a screen to go with it (which you should provide)."

MonikaW is lagging

MonikaW asks, "you think the line isnt fast enough?"

LeeG teleports in

MonikaW hugs lee

Shakespeare's_Guest says, "hi lee"

LeeG hug Mon

MonikaW [to ]: santiag

LeeG says, "Hi all"

BorisK says, "Hello Lee"

SantiagoP [to MonikaW]: "no! was just asking! in fact i think it's quite fast.

MonikaW asks, "lee may I introduce you to ulli?"

LeeG says, "Hope I don't get thrown off...Hi boris"

SantiagoP [to LeeG]: hi, long-time-no-see :)

LeeG says, "Yes, oplease do"

LeeG says, "Hi Santiago"

MonikaW [to santiogo]: you do not have to compose music especially

SantiagoP asks, "you want to present oudeis, or the chorosleader?"

MonikaW says, "I mean in fact I would like to show something via th

internet as well"

SantiagoP says, "(or both)"

MonikaW says, "both"

LeeG [to Shakespeare's_Guest]: Hi Ulli, great to meet you

The usher arrives to escort GeorgL out of ATHEMOO.

SantiagoP says, "ok. let me think..."

MonikaW [to LeeG]: we are just talking about the sommer party in museum of

modern art in vienna where we want to advertise oudeis

GernotL [to Oto]: Lee Hi Lee

LeeG nods...sounds great

MonikaW [to SantiagoP]: what they would love to have is some kind oof

perforance

LeeG [to GernotL]: Hi Gernot, good to see you

Shakespeare's_Guest [to leenice]: to meet you,iheard already a lot about you

MonikaW says, "perfromance"

SantiagoP asks, "would images and sound, with an 'internet feel' (and i

mean connected to the net) be enough?"

MonikaW says, "well"

MonikaW says, "if the pictures go with the music"

LeeG [to Shakespeare's_Guest]: Hope most of what you heard was good

MonikaW says, "i am not sure, hopefully this would not get an movie feeling"

GernotL [to ee]: how it works??, I direct a theaterperformance for children

GernotL [to LeeG]: we have the first at 21. this month

Shakespeare's_Guest [to leeoto]: leeyou did already alot of work

LeeG nods in Gernot's direction

SantiagoP asks, "but if we just have a screen and sound, it won't get much

different anyway... what about an actor (real or _virtual_)?"

LeeG [to Shakespeare's_Guest]: Thanks...heard about some of your costume

ideas...sound very interesting

MonikaW asks, "well how could a real actor be involved in your music?"

MonikaW says, "thing is that I really dont know how to show something from

the oudeis project"

GernotL [to MonikaW]: one can be the presentation our partners all over the

world??

MonikaW says, "so I thought of picking one aspect out"

MonikaW exclaims, "and the invetnion of the choros is a great one!"

MonikaW says, "but we cant show the choros itself (as it will not work till

then - technically)"

SantiagoP exclaims, "but the choros (if we stik to the full concept for

this 'show'), needs the audience!"

MonikaW [to GernotL]: yes I would like to present them - how could we?

Shakespeare's_Guest [to leethis]: was just the beginning, i have to read

more abot the bacabout the charakters

MonikaW nods at santiaog

MonikaW says, "so I dont think we can think of having all the choros

software ready till june 28th"

GernotL [to MonikaW]: one great thing is the development of the project

SantiagoP says, "i think we can prepare a mix of: sound (pre-recorded

choros+net-lag), images (based on the web pages, the maps, and the choros'

score (the dot-score)) and maybe an actor speaking parts of the text."

GernotL [to MonikaW]: that means the music will be compose from Argentinia

but Santiago is only the chef

LeeG [to Shakespeare's_Guest]: Yes, that does make sense. Tell me, are you

familiar with the ballet "Parade"?

GernotL [to MonikaW]: he will direct the compositon

GernotL [to MonikaW]: the same thing with the text

SantiagoP [to GernotL]: and write some of it (two episodes + prologue +

net-storm sound)

Shakespeare's_Guest [to leefrom]: satie?

GernotL [to MonikaW]: Lee is our chef for the text

LeeG [to Shakespeare's_Guest]: Yes, Picasso did the costumes and set design

for a famous performance in Paris (1917)

MonikaW says, "so lee should speak the text"

SantiagoP laughsssssss

GernotL [to MonikaW]: for the theater its me and d for exemple Felippe

will do in Rio the enviroment

LeeG [to MonikaW]: I may have a little trouble with the german

GernotL says, "we have so many things to show"

Shakespeare's_Guest [to LeeG]: iremember having seen some photographs

MonikaW [to GernotL]: what do you think of the possibility to have one

actor speaking some parts of the text?

SantiagoP [to LeeG]: but you can do it in english, from your home, via the

net (or in the worst case via phone), and be broadcast in the party!

LeeG [to SantiagoP]: Maybe I could do a rap version?

MonikaW [to gernto]: the problem is to show us in a dramatic way - to make

people interested

SantiagoP laughsssssss

GernotL [to MonikaW]: why not??

Shakespeare's_Guest [to leeIthink]: that they should be strikter then Picassos

MonikaW thinks of having lee on an internet phone line

LeeG [to Shakespeare's_Guest]: Yes.

SantiagoP exclaims, "that's what i said!"

MonikaW says, "so back again"

MonikaW says, "we can play some music"

GernotL [to MonikaW]: not to dramatic, we will have the thater in september

SantiagoP says, "so we could 'design' something that would give the

audience at the museum an idea of the thing... maybe not a clear idea (and

i prefer it that way), but an interesting one."

LeeG says, "Will this be in front of a large audience in the museum"

MonikaW [to GernotL]: you are right in some way, but I fear that only

showing webpictrues wouldn do it

Shakespeare's_Guest [to leethey]: allshould have something in common with

the lightcones

MonikaW nods at santiago "exactly

GernotL [to MonikaW]: more public relations than real thater

MonikaW [to LeeG]: 2000 people

SantiagoP asks, "who's the audience, if i may ask???"

LeeG [to MonikaW]: Then we damn well better make sure we do something

impressive!

MonikaW [to SantiagoP]: do you think we should play music of oudeis ? or

wome other music of you

SantiagoP . o O ( "possible sponsors? )

MonikaW [to santiaog]: we also plan for september to have a webcafe there -

so the audience is , lets say avantgarde people

Shakespeare's_Guest says, "probably not"

MonikaW says, "sponsor! of course we will invite some"

SantiagoP [to MonikaW]: i have some of my music already recorded (ask

gernot), but i don't know if it would fit.

MonikaW [to SantiagoP]: is it different to oudeis?

LeeG [to Shakespeare's_Guest]: I saw some of Picasso's actual costumes in a

retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Some of them

actually resembled light cones

MonikaW [to SantiagoP]: is it similar to what was on your webpage?

SantiagoP says, "maybe i should hurry writing the prologue and net-lag

storm musics, and we can use them next month."

GernotL [to SantiagoP]: I love your music

MonikaW says, "specially the net-lag should be interesting"

SantiagoP [to MonikaW]: did you hear the electroacoustic one?

LeeG [to Shakespeare's_Guest]: but they were pretty abstact (cubist)

MonikaW says, "what do you think we can "show"""

MonikaW [to SantiagoP]: i think so - it was ... very silent

MonikaW says, "meditative"

LeeG asks, "Will Lukas be prepared to use the lights in June?"

Shakespeare's_Guest [to leeithink]: about another dimension.like iwould

like to have odysseus in alarge cone ,light from the inside

MonikaW says, "no i dont think so"

MonikaW says, "and that will also take something away from the actual

performance"

LeeG nods to shakespeares guest

SantiagoP says, "the music will be somewhat similar, but with other 'seeds'

and sound sources. in 'encima que son 34' (the electroacoustic piece you

heard) the sounds are made in the synth. in oudeis i'll use smaples of

voices (singing) and modem and sea sounds."

GernotL [to LeeG]: no lights in june

SantiagoP . o O ( "samples" )

GernotL [to LeeG]: I think its a bad experience with lights in june

LeeG asks, "What about the screens ad...and the information on them?"

MonikaW says, "ok, that sounds good"

MonikaW says, "we also have to give the people something to look on"

LeeG [to GernotL]: Think you are probably right about the lights

MonikaW says, "like in a concert where they can wathc the artist"

Shakespeare's_Guest [to ]: lee

SantiagoP says, "let me think about it and i'll solve the party thing."

SantiagoP exclaims, "but i need to know the duration!!!"

MonikaW says, "yes thats right"

MonikaW says, "we also need somebody that does some design"

SantiagoP exclaims, "have any of you been to an electroacoustic music

concert? nothing to look at there!"

MonikaW says, "duration of the songs should not be longer than 3 minutes or

something"

MonikaW says, "i thin"

SantiagoP [to MonikaW]: these are not 'songs'!!!

MonikaW [to santiaog]: "really?

MonikaW says, "I havnt"

Shakespeare's_Guest [to ]: lee

SantiagoP says, "you usually have just two big big loudspeakers and the

lights dimmed."

MonikaW says, "or is this like techno concerts with guys working busy on

their computers"

MonikaW [to SantiagoP]: you are right - no songs, I am sure

MonikaW says, "hm, so"

LeeG [to Shakespeare's_Guest]: YOu sound very creative. It's great to have

you on the project

MonikaW says, "well so lets just think about it - I also want to introduce

you santiago, and you lee in some way"

Shakespeare's_Guest [to ]: lee

MonikaW says, "it would also be good if you would be online"

SantiagoP says, "nope. in a techno concert you usually hav some sort of a

show (a singer, a DJ, etc). in electroacoustics you get nothing, unless the

piece was concieved for tape and instruments."

Shakespeare's_Guest [to LeeG]: say

SantiagoP says, "i'll think about the music for the party. i guess it would

be better for the audience to have some acting, or a text being read aloud

(i've written for 'readers', and i love it). maybe lee can send me some

texts and i'll write the music 'around' them."

MonikaW asks, "and do you think you could send it via real audio?"

MonikaW [to santiaog]: that sounds cool!!!!!

MonikaW [to LeeG]: what do you think

SantiagoP says, "i think it's better if i send it in an envelope to Wien,

and you play it there. i don't have access to a server here."

MonikaW [to LeeG]: and I will invite the people from english theater vienna

to listen to your texts!!

GernotL [to SantiagoP]: cool this idea

LeeG says, "Sure, Mon ad me could prepare some of the text hopefully"

SantiagoP [to LeeG]: Lee?

MonikaW grins at lee

SantiagoP says, "brb."

LeeG says, "Sure, lets try and do this"

MonikaW [to santiaog]: do you mean you do not have a Real audio server?

GernotL says, "Im sad that for me is not possible to be in the net at this

time"

MonikaW says, "maybe we should send it from chicago"

MonikaW grins

GernotL says, "maybe i have a possibility to be in the net in croatia"

LeeG smiles

MonikaW [to LeeG]: maybe we could use something of the text you already wrote?

LeeG [to GernotL]: Are you going to croatia?

LeeG says, "Or a virtual presence"

MonikaW [to GernotL]: super, you plug yourself in as the virtual leader

GernotL [to LeeG]: yes for 2 weeks

GernotL [to MonikaW]: yes like allways

LeeG [to GernotL]: have a good trip and do try to get on the net

LeeG [to Shakespeare's_Guest]: sometimes the MOO can be difficult

GernotL [to LeeG]: TNX

Shakespeare's_Guest says, "thats what it is"

Shakespeare's_Guest says, "its making me tired"

LeeG [to Shakespeare's_Guest]: by the end of these meetings we are all TIRED!

MonikaW says, "think when santiago is comming back we can look how to go on

and than call it a day, waht do you think"

LeeG nods

BorisK nods

MonikaW says, "I mean this ideas of the presentations sounds really cool"

GernotL [to Shakespeare's_Guest]: For the begining you are great!!

MonikaW waves at boris

MonikaW [to BorisK]: you should also get connected to this event

BorisK waves back to Monika

SantiagoP says, "i'm back."

Shakespeare's_Guest says, "hey boris you didnt say anything for a long time"

BorisK [to MoinikaW]: Sure, I will try ...

BorisK blushes

MonikaW says, "i only fear that we wont have many surfstations there"

GernotL waves to Boris

LeeG waves to Boris

BorisK says, "Well admittedly, I was off to have a look at Santioago's web

site to see if there was anything audible to download (since you were

talking od music he compoised ..."

MonikaW says, "so this means that you will give comments but maybe do not

hear many comments bakc"

MonikaW grins

MonikaW says, "well that depends on the hardware we get her"

MonikaW says, "here"

Shakespeare's_Guest [to GernotL]: Itry my best

MonikaW says, "and audio would be the best but probably wont work"

GernotL [to Shakespeare's_Guest]: yyes I feel it

SantiagoP says, "i think the ideal thing would be to play the music there,

and put the server there (after all you'll have a very good connection)."

SantiagoP says, "so the final thing might look like this (i'm just thinking):"

Shakespeare's_Guest says, "sorry I have to go"

MonikaW says, "well we will see what we can do"

MonikaW says, "but it will take some time if you snail mailit"

SantiagoP [to Shakespeare's_Guest]: bye, ulli. nice to meet you!

MonikaW is waiting attentivley

BorisK goes west.

LeeG exclaims, "bye Ulli, again it was great to meet you!"

BorisK has arrived.

GernotL says, "so, sorry tnx for the moomeeting, Ulli and me we have to

discuss some things for the theaterperformance at 21. mai"

BorisK bows to Shakespeare's guest

GernotL says, "tomorow we start the reharsal at 9.30"

SantiagoP says, "a screen, a (little?) stage, one actor (reader?), one

light cone, two big loudspeakers."

MonikaW [to SantiagoP]: some thoughts?

LeeG waves to Gernot

MonikaW says, "yes"

GernotL says, "so by, by Lee, Santiago"

MonikaW says, "light cone"

Shakespeare's_Guest says, "by everybody"

Shakespeare's_Guest says, "hope to meet next time"

SantiagoP exclaims, "bye, gernot. see you!"

BorisK says, "bye Gernot"

LeeG says, "bye Gernot"

MonikaW asks, "and than?"

GernotL [to SantiagoP]: last words please no lightcones

SantiagoP says, "sound will be: music from the loudspeakers, real voice

from the actor/reader and virtual voice from the light cone."

Shakespeare's_Guest says, "by everybody"

BorisK exclaims, "Bye Ulli!"

SantiagoP [to GernotL]: not a controlled one but a simple light, operated

by a lighting technician.

MonikaW [to SantiagoP]: problem is that we dont know how this light cone

should look like#

GernotL [to SantiagoP]: I see no sense in the light

SantiagoP says, "we can prepare 30 minutes of performance, mixing texts

(real or virtual) with the music and the net-storm."

GernotL says, "byby"

The usher arrives to remove Shakespeare's_Guest.

LeeG asks, "Is the length going to be 30 minutes?"

GernotL has disconnected.

SantiagoP [to MonikaW]: i'm thinking about a simple light put there,

changing intensity when the virtual voice speaks... just that.

SantiagoP [to LeeG]: i think it's a good lenght... i'm inventing most of

this, so bear with me...

LeeG nods

MonikaW says, "well that sounds cool"

SantiagoP says, "virtual voice can be another actor/speaker who's offstage,

with his voice processed."

LeeG [to santiage]: Saw this on an episode of Star Trek

SantiagoP says, "so that is sounds a bit 'realAudish'"

MonikaW asks, "but isnt that a fake?"

MonikaW grins

LeeG grins

SantiagoP grins, too

BorisK stands up and moves his numb feet

SantiagoP says, "we would be showing bits of ideas, unfinished parts of our

work-in-progress."

MonikaW says, "santiaog lets discuss this via email"

MonikaW says, "lee and me will think of a text"

BorisK says, "Folks, I'll be off - thanks for letting me take part ..."

SantiagoP says, "agree."

MonikaW says, "you should probably tell us what you need"

MonikaW hugs boris

LeeG says, "We obviously have to spend some time to get the best

presentation and look for this performance"

BorisK exclaims, "See you next time. All the best!"

SantiagoP says, "i'll send something to the list tonight or tomorrow."

BorisK Hugs Monika

LeeG says, "bey boris"

LeeG says, "bye"

BorisK exclaims, "Bye bye!"

SantiagoP says, "bye, boris."

BorisK has disconnected.

SantiagoP [to MonikaW]: do you like how it sounds?

SantiagoP [to MonikaW]: ( mean... the idea)

LeeG [to SantiagoP]: Like what we are discussing but think we can do even

better

SantiagoP [to LeeG]: shoot!

The usher arrives to escort GernotL out of ATHEMOO.

MonikaW says, "well that sounds good"

MonikaW says, "i mean the idea"

LeeG says, "Well, since I joined the conversation late let me see what we

have so far"

SantiagoP [to LeeG]: any ideas?

LeeG says, "This is the first I have actually heard the framework for this

presentation...will need some time to think it over"

SantiagoP says, "i have to leave... i'll write this down and think a bit

about it, then i'll send it to the list."

LeeG says, "I like your ideas though"

SantiagoP [to MonikaW]: you said you were needing designers?

MonikaW says, "yes"

SantiagoP asks, "Mon?"

MonikaW says, "for the designers"

MonikaW [to LeeG]: this presentations is fairly new though

LeeG nods

SantiagoP says, "i can work with my wife and her partner here in the design

of the screens for the museum party."

MonikaW asks, "santiago?"

MonikaW exclaims, "wow!"

MonikaW says, "could you"

SantiagoP exclaims, "i don't think they'll do any web design, but they can

work with the screens, and they are quite good!"

MonikaW asks, "you said your wife works in graphic?"

The usher arrives to escort BorisK out of ATHEMOO.

SantiagoP says, "yup. she's a graphic designer."

MonikaW says, "well should be no problem implementing this in web"

MonikaW says, "hey well"

SantiagoP says, "er... we'll have to make something of an automation to

change 'screens'"

MonikaW says, "i am just thinking"

MonikaW says, "regards from gernot"

SantiagoP says, "i'll think about it. have to leave."

MonikaW [to SantiagoP]: yes

SantiagoP exclaims, "bye! glad to have revived!"

LeeG says, "Bye Santiago, great to see you again]"

MonikaW says, "sounds cool"

MonikaW says, "everything"

MonikaW says, "so glad to have you all"

MonikaW wonders if anybody hears the stone dumping down

SantiagoP hugs mon.
