jaymacfla Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 I would like to start a skype meetup group to discuss Black Friday and all of the various topics that are of the most important nature to us. We can have up to 10 people at a time, as long as they are on a device that supports it. Phones and tablets may experience audio only, so we will have to experiment with those. Skype will allow you to join late if you need to. We can decide who chats for the hour if more than ten are interested. I would also schedule another meetup in case the desire to talk on the scheduled evening is overwhelming. We can also discuss how we want to manage the chat, rules to make things run smoothly, and if you want it led or monitored.We have had some great chats in the past, and by signing up for skype, we can put a face to the great people here and make it even more memorable. Please respond with your skype information by sending me a message. That way, i can keep your info private, while having you for all future meetups in my profile. I realize that this is quite a bit different from what Bigjimslade has done, but at the same time, it is not meant as a replacement for his program. If this is successful, perhaps I can do this while camped out at Best Buy to give you live information and stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaymacfla Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Since the Money Gods have smiled down upon me, I would be willing to do a Hot Toy preview. The top ten toys requested would make the show. I would even be willing to do a toys for boys one week, and a toys for girls specialty show the next. Having raised five children, and have four grandchildren, it always pays to be up on the latest craze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaymacfla Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Skype is very easy to install and use. I am hoping that I can get the first six to sign up and test the viability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bopeep Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I have a Skype account, but haven't used it since my boy got back from Afghanistan 3 years ago. I'll have to pull it up tonight to see if I can remember my information to send. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaymacfla Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Everybody needs to ask their children and grandchildren what the hot toy is, and where they got the idea from....hint....(TV). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stationchief Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 What the hay, I'll join in on this whole Skype thing for Black Friday. Afraid I'm not very proficient when it comes to toys, but if anyone wants to talk tech about electronics or video games I'm game. Good thing I already have, use, and enjoy Skype!

Brad Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Might be a good idea to upload an archived version of this to YouTube afterwards so those who can't get in for whatever reason could still check it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymacfla Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 Sounds like a good idea Brad. I want to test it out on the road as well. There might be a little fun involved when on best buy property a month early with a small tent, it is only a stunt, yet let people believe I am seriously camping out.
