2016 Oscars Live Chat

If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!

2016 Oscars Live Chat

Post by bookworm »

I'm trying to think of good events to hold chats for; there aren't many outside of sports since it has to be live, but the Oscars came to mind. I don't know if anyone cares, but figured it's better to hold a chat and no one comes than not have one and learn some people would have, so if you watch them on Sunday come by the Chatroom and join #Oscars to discuss. I don't care about them myself, but would go ahead and tune in if we're chatting.

Our chat actually touched on that during the evening. Meant to have the log up by now but haven't gotten to it yet. It will be soon if anyone cares to read what happened. It was a fun time.

Ah man, I was hoping this thread was the live chat, and that I could time travel back to before The Revenant got so many Oscars. :(

Thank you to everyone who stopped by! A lot more did than I excepted, and I had a lot more fun than I thought I would. Hope to do it again next year.

20:32 <bookworm>: They've been clipping along pretty nicely, if they were supposed to fit in this block they should have done it
