I recommend that you have a heads et and mic handy if you’r e plann ing to join in on the voice call… but even if you don’t (or if you’r e just shy) , you can still parti cipat e via text chat, or just lurk and liste n in as you vote right along with us.
(The more people who parti cipat e in the voice call, thoug h, the more fun this will be!)
I’ve deliberate ly set the call to “publ ic” so that anybo dy can join, so pleas e don’t hesit ate to invit e other s to join us. Alizé e fans old and new from any site, forum , natio n and walk of life are welco me and encou raged to join in the madne ss. Pleas e just be aware that the prima ry langu age of the call will natur ally be Engli sh, and that we’re going to try to keep the profa nity down to a PG level . (I reall y don’t need any email s for angry mothe rs in Guate mala, thank you. ) Don’t let that scare you off, thoug h—we’ re a frien dly bunch , and I guara ntee that you speak Engli sh far bette r than most of us speak your langu age.
Also,pleas e note that altho ugh the defau lt lengt h of the call is 120 mins, we’re actua lly able to go as long as we want. Every one but me will be able to drop- in and drop- out at will— I’m the host, so I have to stick aroun d for the durat ion—w hich means you can come and go whene ver you pleas e. Come and hang out as often as you like, for as long or as littl e as you can.
So please drop in even if you can only stay for a few minut es—ev ery vote for Lili count s, and those of us runni ng the marat hon will appre ciate the infus ion of fresh blood !
And I thinkthat’ s every thing …! Pleas e let me know if you guys have any quest ions or conce rns, and I’ll do my best to addre ss them as quick ly as possi ble! Thank s, and hope to see you on Sunday!
I'm sadly not able to be there--my cousin clearly has his priorities messed up and has elected to get married that day, instead--but it sounds like a good time for a good cause. Even if you can only swing by for a little while, I'd recommend you check it out! How often do you get to geek out about Alizée with real, live people and help her out at the same time?
Man, I wish I could be there. Stupid cousin...
