Wild idea
Ok, here's a wild idea. I have enjoyed hearing the pithy, one liners from all you stamp collecting mavens. OK, shoot this down, but how about a HipStamp Forum meet and greet Holiday Zoom Party where we all say hello in person? I would love to see famous Scott P from Japan, George, Greg, Ted, Beaver, Robert, Phil, Richard, Bob, Bill, Luree, Doug, Wally,Joe, Harry, Ron, anyone!! and maybe we can get Lenke to show up....AND there are SO many others out there .... one hour max, do a topic from someone, light, social, free. BYOB, cats welcome
Comments
For us not so techy computer wizards a step-by-step process for downloading the zoom app would be appreciated. Or maybe some way to do a pre-meeting so I don't look like a real azzhat when the time comes.
Next, how would we vote on a date/time and how would the attendees be invited?
Finally, what would the topic be about? Just getting together and chatting means chaos on the computer with everybody trying to talk over each other on different subjects.
Not being a Debby Downer but to be successful some kind of organization should be in order.
Love the idea, just some of the details need to be brought together.
We will hear from the illustrious maven of ALL things Washington-Franklins, the Professor of perforations, the Guru of gauges, the Phenomenal Scott Payton as he gives a brief talk on his unraveling the mystery of that confounding, evil series created to wreak havoc on US philatelists.
And we will hear from that famed internet philatelic celebrity, the darling of internet Stamp Hosts, the King of kiloware! Ted (Tyszka) the Talking Stamp Collector as he prognosticates on the future of our hobby.
Topic: The first unofficial HipStamp Holiday Gathering
Time: Dec 4, 2022 03:00 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada)

More detail on the first “Hipstamp Holiday Zoom Forum party NOT sponsored by Hipstamp “
I put that envelope under that garbage.
Just try not to make it between 5am and 7am for me. Those are my sleep hours.
Rene, are you going to be the organizer?
One alternative to Zoom might also be Google Meet, which does NOT require email addresses, just a posted link. And you don't have to have a Google account either, just the browser plugin.
That would be nice but I do not have Zoom.
As for a name, how about "Revolutionary Council?" You know,
Lenin read a book on Marx...
