[2013/03/09 10:21]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): Hi Starlight!

[2013/03/09 10:21]  Agenda Faromet: We used to have coffee socials regularly, and they were so well received. They're a great way to introduce new members to our regulars.

[2013/03/09 10:21]  MystiTool HUD 1.3.1: Entering chat range: Starlight Darkmatter (6m)

[2013/03/09 10:21]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): When Tim?

[2013/03/09 10:21]  Agenda Faromet: I know people get bored with Justitia, but we do have a coffee shop. It has some very cute cakes and pies.

[2013/03/09 10:21]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): In the dungeon?

[2013/03/09 10:22]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): Sort of a kick off for the BDSM theme?

[2013/03/09 10:22]  Lyra Snowpaw: koffs

[2013/03/09 10:22]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): March 30 it is.

[2013/03/09 10:22]  Agenda Faromet: Wait. How about /not/ on a Saturday?

[2013/03/09 10:22]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): you have three weeks to trickit out!

[2013/03/09 10:23]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): A wednesday?

[2013/03/09 10:23]  Agenda Faromet: We used to do our coffee socials on Wednesdays to accommodate people who couldn't make our normal Saturday meetings. Also, frankly, SLBA is already taking up half my monthly Saturdays, and that's enough.

[2013/03/09 10:23]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): March 27 then?

[2013/03/09 10:23]  Tim Faith (yoss.kamachi): i can do the 27th, most likely

[2013/03/09 10:24]  Faye Blackheart: is 6 too late?

[2013/03/09 10:24]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): Anyone on the East Coast still awake?

[2013/03/09 10:24]  Tim Faith (yoss.kamachi): no problem, 6pm SLT is fine for me

[2013/03/09 10:25]  Tim Faith (yoss.kamachi): I'll just have a cup of coffee to stay up that late

[2013/03/09 10:25]  Tim Faith (yoss.kamachi): lol

[2013/03/09 10:25]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): "Let the word go forth from this place and time ..."

[2013/03/09 10:25]  Agenda Faromet: Perfect!

[2013/03/09 10:25]  Lyra Snowpaw: I will bring the martinis

[2013/03/09 10:25]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): agenda, do you think we should do this every month?

[2013/03/09 10:26]  Agenda Faromet: No.

[2013/03/09 10:26]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): Ok.

[2013/03/09 10:26]  Starlight Darkmatter: Maybe every other month or quarterly?

[2013/03/09 10:26]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): Well, we can think about it then.

[2013/03/09 10:27]  Agenda Faromet: We tried doing coffee socials every month before, and after a few, people took them for granted and stopped coming. I like the idea of doing them every other month / quarterly -- good one, Starlight.

[2013/03/09 10:27]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): I am fond of quarterly, frankly.

[2013/03/09 10:27]  Agenda Faromet: Quarterly sounds really good.

[2013/03/09 10:27]  Tim Faith (yoss.kamachi): ok, well everyone come over to storm the castle at the end of the month

[2013/03/09 10:27]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): then we will plan another for June.

[2013/03/09 10:27]  Suemoon Magic: You'll send out LMs?

[2013/03/09 10:28]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): Great.

[2013/03/09 10:28]  Tim Faith (yoss.kamachi): Yes, I will

[2013/03/09 10:28]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): I think thre will be a general invitation with a lm.

[2013/03/09 10:28]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): Tim is great at doing that.

[2013/03/09 10:28]  Agenda Faromet: That'd be perfect. We could have a Spring Coffee Social, a Summer Coffee Social (perfect in time for elections), a Fall Coffee Social to yammer about our Virtual Vices series, and a Winter....do we want to just do the Winter Holiday Party instead?

[2013/03/09 10:29]  Suemoon Magic: sounds good

[2013/03/09 10:29]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): Yes - a winter party in December.

[2013/03/09 10:30]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): Always welcome.

[2013/03/09 10:30]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): The Village:

[2013/03/09 10:31]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): Agenda, can you give us a few words about the village - what's new?

[2013/03/09 10:31]  Agenda Faromet: We have new cakes and pies in the cafe!

[2013/03/09 10:31]  Agenda Faromet: They're /super/ cute. There's one with strawberries on it.

[2013/03/09 10:31]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): Yummy!

[2013/03/09 10:31]  Tim Faith (yoss.kamachi): :)

[2013/03/09 10:31]  Soro Dagostino: Hello all, sorry to be late.

[2013/03/09 10:32]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): No worries Soro.

[2013/03/09 10:32]  Agenda Faromet: Also I've built out offices in the two buildings on the end of the road. But mostly, new cakes and pies. Oh, and cupcakes! With little hearts on. And a whole plate of macarons.

[2013/03/09 10:32]  Agenda Faromet: Seriously, the coffee shop is amazeballs lately. And I'll be replacing the chairs and tables soon.

[2013/03/09 10:33]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): In any case, we still have room for a few more tenants, so everyone, please ensure your friends know they are invited to open an office here.

[2013/03/09 10:34]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): It serves us veryu well if there are a lot of law offices here.

[2013/03/09 10:34]  Agenda Faromet: OH.

[2013/03/09 10:34]  Juris Amat: cupcakes yum

[2013/03/09 10:34]  Agenda Faromet: For those of you currently renting office space here...I'm not sure if Sam ever talked to you about private skybox space.

[2013/03/09 10:35]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): Good point.

[2013/03/09 10:35]  Faye Blackheart: is office space reserved for attorneys only?

[2013/03/09 10:36]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): We can do skyboxes for remote conversations.

[2013/03/09 10:36]  Lyra Snowpaw: no I don't think so Faye

[2013/03/09 10:36]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): Faye, we are pretty liberal about that. That is the main idea, but what do youy have in mind?

[2013/03/09 10:36]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): I'm not certain a night club would work.

[2013/03/09 10:36]  Agenda Faromet: Since you can't have a private conversation with a client / potential client on Justitia level (because of chat range issues), if you would like a small private skybox, talk to me and I'll set one up for you. You may not go over your prim limit, but it gives you a private space to talk. (Remember that conversations on SL are not actually /confidential/).

[2013/03/09 10:37]  Starlight Darkmatter: You can connect via Skype, and that is encrypted.

[2013/03/09 10:37]  Faye Blackheart: Oh I was just curious... i was thinking of opening an office in bay city... but not for legal advice, more for discussions with the public...and potential referrals to lawyers

[2013/03/09 10:37]  Faye Blackheart: but here would certainly be a nice place

[2013/03/09 10:38]  Agenda Faromet: Right, Starlight, but then you don't have the same need for a skybox.

[2013/03/09 10:38]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): There are still a few parcels left at sea level as well.

[2013/03/09 10:38]  Sam Courtois. Esq. (sam4.courtois): Faye, you would be very welcome to do that.
