. . . exists for all to use. It's just in prep for a test of our IRC abilities. On Tuesday 9th at 9pm UK time we will simulate and test an IRC chat. If all goes well then Belle and Sebastian may join us in a couple of weeks for a proper one. This will only be an effective test if a lot of people turn up. One of us will pretend to be the band and you can question us into oblivion whilst someone else tries to see what control can be exerted to help keep order amoungst the chaos. The Sinister, Fan Club and hopefully Tweenet sites will all reflect how the test will be run closer to the date (probably Monday). So, if you would like to take part in the chat on Tuesday and need a hand getting the software and using IRC then visit the fan club site or Paul's site and follow all the instructions. The fan club site already has download details, an FAQ, how to get started and chat etiquette pages to help you. Read these pages before you go to the chat room to help understand how it will work. Please use the Jeepster room now to get aclimatised to this medium as it will not be available for public use in the run up to the real chat. A second room may be set up for you in the meantime. If you already have software then connect to chat.virgin.net on port 6667. Thanks Katrina House (jeepster recordings and the fan club) David Kitchen (fan club and fan club site) Paul Mitchell (sinister list and site) Any simple probs, mail the list and we can fill in the gaps in the FAQ and help other people having the same problems. -- ******************************************************************** http://www.totalweb.co.uk/bluesoda/ mailto:bluesoda@totalweb.co.uk ******************************************************************** ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
