Best time for a live chat?
Hey Cyber Stars -- After all this American Idol mishegas is over, I'd like to start up a weekly live chat a la Steve Spears at Stuck in the '80s. We can talk about music, pop culture, Funyuns or even Jeff in Cuba's stand-up comedy career. Up at the Washington Post, they do their live chats during lunchtime Mon-Fri. Spearsy does his on the weekends. What do you think? It'll probably be an hour or two a week. I'm taking any and all ideas about time, content, nudity, etc.
Sean Daly is the pop music critic for the St. Petersburg Times. His CD collection -- from Journey to Dylan, Prince to U2, Public Enemy to Stan Getz -- is much bigger and better than yours.
Count me amongst the willing.
By the way, SD I picked up the new release of Frank this weekend. Very nice. Was listening to it this morning on my way into the Burg and at times I felt like that scene from Roadhouse when the villian is driving his convertible and swerving all over the road.

I'm up for it. I'm always game to talk music.

I like the lunchtime idea, but I'm up for chat anytime.

I am a shiftworker, so I would gladly join in whenever I could.
Great idea Mr Daly!
Your previous blog made me lose ALL hope in Indy... so sad...

Stop stealing all the great 80s art for your blog, Daly!
Can't you find some drunken Amy Winehouse or strutting Kanye photo instead?
You dare use "The Broderick" instead. You'll pay. Listen to what I say.

Not that there's any reason to work around my schedule, but midday would be tough for me (the fight against Communism doesn't break for lunch!)
How about the old Idol results show slot Wednesday's at 9? No sense reinventing the wheel.

Jeff, do you think that Fidel would like in on this? I hear he has a lot of free time on his hands now that Raul is the Big Enchilada.

I dunno what's gonna be harder -- convincing my editors to give me time during the day, or convincing the FF to give me more time at night.
If this works, I'll be a lot chattier (for two hours at least) than on Idol nights.

Sparks,
Fidel has plenty to say, it's just that he can't get parts for his Commodore 64.

Since I work in a place where the Internet is verboten, it would be hit or miss for me to participate if it's a mid-day thing.
If it's a night time deal I'll be in my pj's -- or will I? Again, my work schedule is always up in the air.
You know I'll do my bestest to partake.
D4D!!
