Inspired by these posts in the

While it isn't quite the same, we're going to do the next best thing! This
Saturday, January 10 at
4PM EST/1 PM PST, we're gonna hijack Jung's AAm Ventrilo server for a LIVE online chat party, during which we'll all cue up our DVDs, start them at the same time, and (attempt to) watch
En Concert together from the comfort of our own homes through the magic of the internets!
Fun! Excitement! Brilliant observations! Deep insights! Witty repartee! Mass confusion and disorder! And, of course, Alizée, Alizée, and more Alizée! It's everything you expect from AAm, but in a live audio chat! What more could you possibly ask for?!
(Oh, right...no, there's no popcorn. Sorry.)
"How do I join?" you ask? It's actually pretty easy. All you need is a headset & mic (or just a mic and your computer speakers), and to
download the Ventrilo client. Then you configure a few settings (really easy to do), connect to the server, and you're off to the races.

The settings for the Vent server that Jung has set up for AAm are as follows:

(Jung will be setting up a special room for the event as the date gets closer. I'll add more info about that once it's up.)
The date and time are still tentative. I'm not married to them by any means. So if you'd like to request a change, speak up below! Whatever works for everybody works for me!
Questions? Concerns? Problems setting up or connecting to Vent? Go ahead and ask below. I promise I won't make fun of you...much.
Thanks guys! Hope to see everybody there!
EDITED TO ADD:
Snatcher42 reminds me of one of the main reaons I wanted to do this in the first place...if nobody objects I'd like to record this this posterity, and depending on how it turns out (read: if it's not a complete train wreck), possibly release it as the unofficial AAm commentary track to En Concert (which I think would be a pretty neat thing to have on the site). If nothing else, it will help me in learning how to use Audacity. If anyone has misgivings about it, though, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Also, here's a pretty decent tutorial video for setting up Ventrilo for anybody who's still stumped by it. Again, please feel free to PM me or one of the other guys if you need help getting it up and running. We'll only point and laugh for a minute or two, I promise.
