17/11/2006 22:07:59 ‹dick c› hi Rocio
17/11/2006 22:08:48 ‹Emfairmeadows› This was from valerie, "Do you think you can help do the chat along the line of the actual gallery one....and let people put in their ideas for how virtual show/online show...gallery exhib would work...

17/11/2006 22:10:44 ‹marilyn› that was just copied and pasted from her email
17/11/2006 22:11:24 ‹dick c› I think an online exihibition is important...

17/11/2006 22:12:03 ‹Emfairmeadows› Personally, I'd like to focus on having the online exhibit with the physical exhibit as an optional event.
17/11/2006 22:12:13 * Anonymous522 changes his/her nickname to rocio
17/11/2006 22:12:17 ‹rocio› i really want to be here but this thing will me sending me off and i dont' want to bother, instead of participate
17/11/2006 22:12:25 ‹dick c› Emfairmeadows, I agree
17/11/2006 22:12:29 ‹marilyn› The idea of a vertial gallery seemed so simple to play with
17/11/2006 22:12:45 ‹marilyn› rocio, it's no bother
17/11/2006 22:12:54 ‹marilyn› be on when you can tonight
17/11/2006 22:13:03 ‹dick c› rocio, you should download firefox
17/11/2006 22:13:27 ‹rocio› gracias.... Dick i can't download even a jpg in this thing lol
17/11/2006 22:13:27 ‹Dann› howdy
17/11/2006 22:13:30 ‹Emfairmeadows› Some of us won't be able to transport our books to the real show so virtual makes it more available to more artmetal members.
17/11/2006 22:13:44 ‹dick c› rocio, oh...
17/11/2006 22:13:55 ‹marilyn› how about if the online show catalogues the actual show? If

17/11/2006 22:14:19 ‹Dann› Rocio, are you in better health?
17/11/2006 22:14:27 ‹marilyn› I'm having truble betting all of her quote to copy and paste for some reason
17/11/2006 22:15:00 ‹marilyn› all efforts can be in getting the actual show set and running, with
17/11/2006 22:15:07 ‹rocio› Same but i got back to work again. thanks for asking
17/11/2006 22:15:19 ‹Emfairmeadows› I'd like to be able to examine all of the pages of the books virtually!
17/11/2006 22:15:25 ‹Dann› :)
17/11/2006 22:15:25 ‹marilyn› Here's more of it if you can make sense of something so disjointed
17/11/2006 22:16:30 ‹marilyn› Yes, I have wondered about your health as well.
17/11/2006 22:16:52 ‹Dann› Which metal books are you sharing?
17/11/2006 22:17:30 ‹marilyn› Elizibeth, maybe there should be a size limit so books can all be transported.
17/11/2006 22:17:54 ‹Dann› Rocio. my wife lost the vision in her right eye last Abril
17/11/2006 22:18:39 ‹dick c› should we assume some books will only be photographed and submitted online, and some will only make it to the gallery?
17/11/2006 22:18:49 ‹Dann› [b][/b]
17/11/2006 22:19:07 ‹Emfairmeadows› Artmetal members would be creating Artist Books, then posting the covers and pages to a virtual gallery.
17/11/2006 22:19:28 ‹Dann› ok
17/11/2006 22:19:43 ‹marilyn› That sounds like what was decided last week,
17/11/2006 22:20:03 ‹Emfairmeadows› Dick, yes
17/11/2006 22:20:12 ‹Dann› This is the first time that I got to the chat window intime to see anyone else
17/11/2006 22:20:48 ‹marilyn› Dann, it certainly helps to have a set time
17/11/2006 22:21:22 * rocio changes his/her nickname to Anonymous522
17/11/2006 22:22:39 ‹dick c› Glad you made it Dann
17/11/2006 22:22:55 ‹Emfairmeadows› The reason for continued discussion is that we have opportunities to have a physical gallery show before or during the Shindig.
17/11/2006 22:23:29 ‹Emfairmeadows› Gene wrote on Sandbox that the Frank Stone Gallery has agreed to host the show in June!! YAY Gene !! He said that we can have two weeks (usually they only do one weekers)
17/11/2006 22:23:53 ‹Emfairmeadows› Later, Susan Embler wrote: that her daughter just announced that she got an internship with local public radio station in Ft. Worth where she is a junior at TCU. She's a double major in International Communications and History and an Italian minor. Her goal is to work for the BBC or for Public Radio International.
17/11/2006 22:23:55 ‹marilyn› There Elizabeth has summed up what I was trying to copy and paste.
17/11/2006 22:23:55 ‹dick c› How many books does anyone think we might be able to get submitted?
17/11/2006 22:24:10 ‹Emfairmeadows› So Gene responded back "Why don't we ask Rachel to put together a demo tape about our "Artmetal, don't just bye the book" show at the Frank Stone Gallery in June.
17/11/2006 22:25:05 ‹marilyn› Any chance of having the show latter?
17/11/2006 22:25:08 ‹Emfairmeadows› I'm shooting for one book of an unspecified size.

17/11/2006 22:26:08 ‹Dann› Rocio can't hold her connection
17/11/2006 22:26:09 ‹marilyn› I'm sure it will be copper.
17/11/2006 22:26:24 ‹dick c› I mean altogether
17/11/2006 22:26:31 ‹marilyn› I wonder if Rocio is on a dial up connection?
17/11/2006 22:26:38 ‹dick c› 10, 20, 150?
17/11/2006 22:26:49 ‹Emfairmeadows› I'm looking for the date on Valerie's group.
17/11/2006 22:27:08 ‹marilyn› How many active members have we had at the shindigs?
17/11/2006 22:27:28 ‹Emfairmeadows› Well, we'd have to set up a poll to see how much actual interest there is?
17/11/2006 22:27:44 ‹marilyn› could we count of have of those participants doing a book?
17/11/2006 22:27:48 ‹Emfairmeadows› About 20 members?
17/11/2006 22:28:20 ‹marilyn› I meant to type half of those not have of those

17/11/2006 22:31:17 ‹Emfairmeadows› Hello Gene!
17/11/2006 22:31:19 ‹houstonwecopy› I really should be working on my shopping list for wiring my shop tomorrow but just had to take a break with you guys.
17/11/2006 22:31:22 * Anonymous403 changes his/her nickname to dick c
17/11/2006 22:32:28 ‹Dann› Cost of copper wire has pretty much doubled during the last year.
17/11/2006 22:32:34 ‹smif› houstonwecopy, that. and I should be out practicing my welding.
17/11/2006 22:33:06 ‹Emfairmeadows› I found the dates "Theme: Metal books , Entry date start suggestion: February 1, Deadline to enter: February 24, Exhibition opening: March 15, 2007
17/11/2006 22:33:11 ‹houstonwecopy› I can't believe the cost of wire. I have just totally rearranged my layout to get my 220 welder closer to the breaker box.
17/11/2006 22:33:19 ‹smif› watt U going to wire
17/11/2006 22:33:46 ‹marilyn› March still seems early to me
17/11/2006 22:34:06 ‹Dann› I use a couple of 25 foot extention cords 6/3 wire to move my welder around
17/11/2006 22:34:09 ‹houstonwecopy› My basement only has one 110 outlet and 4 lights in a 30 by 50 basement. Not enough for a shop. Putting in about 12 lights and 12 outlets
17/11/2006 22:34:12 ‹Emfairmeadows› I'm checking to see if there was a revised date.
17/11/2006 22:34:21 ‹smif› marilyn, I think so too. It is fine for a statement of intent.
17/11/2006 22:35:16 ‹marilyn› Febury is ok as a entry date but March is too soon.
17/11/2006 22:35:54 ‹Emfairmeadows› Found it! "Was aiming to have entries during month of Feb and exhib up March 15, but now pushing a bit farther so that entries are in May. (allows for posting of digital images to a "gathering" site until exhibition itself).
17/11/2006 22:36:03 ‹smif› Especially for a June physical show
17/11/2006 22:36:30 ‹marilyn› that must have been discussed after I dropped out
17/11/2006 22:36:36 ‹marilyn› It sounds better
17/11/2006 22:36:54 ‹smif› Heather called and said she wasn't going to be able to make it tonight. (industryElle
17/11/2006 22:36:55 ‹Dann› Will your Pork Roaster be submitted?
17/11/2006 22:36:59 ‹marilyn› :-):-D

17/11/2006 22:37:26 ‹marilyn› do you mean Gene should do pork pages?
17/11/2006 22:38:40 ‹Emfairmeadows› :-
17/11/2006 22:38:55 ‹smif› not as a book. Hey Chrissy came home from the tut exhibit with a hat. Wait'l ya see me in that. . .:$
17/11/2006 22:38:59 ‹Dann› I was half expecting to see King PorkiCommon on Paul Welding's web page

17/11/2006 22:41:29 ‹dick c› Did Val question wether we should have the online show at all?
17/11/2006 22:41:55 ‹Dann› Anonymous522 = Rocio.. no matter what hat she wears
17/11/2006 22:42:01 ‹marilyn› We don't seem too talkitive tonight
17/11/2006 22:42:35 ‹houstonwecopy› Well guys, I have to get back to my shopping list. Have a good evening.
17/11/2006 22:42:37 ‹marilyn› I think the V was just throwing it out for discussion

17/11/2006 22:44:11 ‹marilyn› I'm still thinking about it.
17/11/2006 22:44:22 ‹Emfairmeadows› Dick-Yes, and she thought we should discuss it tonight.
17/11/2006 22:44:28 ‹marilyn› All of a sudden it is pretty mainstream which is not all bad
17/11/2006 22:44:48 ‹Emfairmeadows› Marilyn, what's mainstream?
17/11/2006 22:45:22 ‹marilyn› Mainstream . . . that's a pretty good question. What do you think it is ?
17/11/2006 22:45:42 ‹marilyn› Maybe this is another discussion for the group
17/11/2006 22:45:59 ‹Emfairmeadows› Mainstream meaning there wouldn't be a virtual show at all?
17/11/2006 22:46:06 ‹smif› rocio› i was not changing my name Gene, this thing does not like me and i can follow the chat :-(
17/11/2006 22:46:29 ‹dick c› Do the gallery dates jibe with the shindig dates?
17/11/2006 22:46:32 ‹marilyn› No, not doing the virtual is not what I meant.
17/11/2006 22:47:03 ‹marilyn› I guess it means in this case, doing things in the usual manner.
17/11/2006 22:47:24 ‹Emfairmeadows› okay.
17/11/2006 22:47:58 ‹marilyn› I really like the idea of a virtual gallery
17/11/2006 22:48:06 ‹smif› rocio› i dont understand , i can send private messages but i can't follow the cafe chat , crazy
17/11/2006 22:48:30 ‹Emfairmeadows› I'm happy that we have physical gallery options. I just think it would be nice to follow through with the virtual exhibit.
17/11/2006 22:48:38 ‹smif› dick c, they could be arrainged to do so at this point dick
17/11/2006 22:49:24 ‹Dann› Gene, is there a minneapolis art faire about the same time as the shindig?
17/11/2006 22:49:40 ‹Emfairmeadows› Rocio, I just mailed another bit of the chat log to you.
17/11/2006 22:50:02 * Frosty joins ArtMetal Chat Cafe
17/11/2006 22:50:15 ‹marilyn› Hi Frosty
17/11/2006 22:50:27 ‹Frosty› HOLA!
17/11/2006 22:50:29 ‹rocio› hugs frosty
17/11/2006 22:50:38 ‹dick c› I don't know marilyn, it may be easier to put the online thing together if it were done at the gallery. Book that couldn't make it physically could still be included
17/11/2006 22:50:43 ‹smif› The big spring north east crawl will be over. I don't really follow them but I think we may be one of the few show's in town
17/11/2006 22:50:44 ‹Frosty› BIG hugs sweety!
17/11/2006 22:50:53 ‹Emfairmeadows› Perhaps we need to consider having two teams of folks handling the virtual and physical gallery. Or is that too complicated. Hey Frosty!
17/11/2006 22:51:09 ‹smif› He you got it figured out, rocio,
17/11/2006 22:51:17 ‹rocio› i can help for virtual
17/11/2006 22:51:25 ‹Frosty› Hey Elizabeth.
17/11/2006 22:51:27 ‹dick c› Yo, Frosty
17/11/2006 22:51:37 ‹rocio› No, You were Gene
17/11/2006 22:52:00 ‹Frosty› Uh. . . Yo Dick. Kinda sounds . . . Uh.
17/11/2006 22:52:19 ‹smif› Also there will be size and number limitations to a physical show. how many and what gets into that?
17/11/2006 22:52:27 ‹marilyn› V seemed to think it would be easier to do it that way, Dick
17/11/2006 22:53:34 ‹Dann› Frosty.. your truck looks like it is trashed..> Saturn doesn't look much better. They can fix the roofline, but will they ever get the unibody to track right
17/11/2006 22:53:44 ‹marilyn› Gene, is that something that the gallery will have limitations for?
17/11/2006 22:54:10 ‹smif› We are going to have to ask for submissions of photos for the physical show so the virtual show is already under construction
17/11/2006 22:54:37 ‹Frosty› I don't know about the Saturn. The top of the tree just slapped it really hard. I think it's repairable but it'll be up to the insurance company. The Bronco II is a goner.
17/11/2006 22:55:32 * rocio quit (timeout)
17/11/2006 22:55:33 ‹dick c› I was wondering about the number of entries we might expect.... Is there going to be a push to get entries?
17/11/2006 22:55:36 ‹smif› that was too exciting jer. I wonder how Buran took it.
17/11/2006 22:55:37 ‹Dann› Gene who is going to do the jury committee for the virtual show?
17/11/2006 22:56:20 ‹Frosty› Buran and Libby were barking all morning after it got light enough they could see the weird thing parked in the yard.
