Hello, everyone!!
Keavy waves vigorously!!
You Are Cordially Invited... to a
VSG Launch Party!!
Somehow it just seems fitting to start our VSG ~ Vanessa Study Group
~ with a party!!
My idea was that we would launch our VSG for real this week, depending on individual schedules.
We'd see how many VSG'ers we could get online at one time ~ some of us are in North America, some in Scandinavia, and some are in foreign lands and over the rainbow
~ each of us would BYOB, and general partying and hilarity would ensue...during which time we would also post our first few cards for study...
I've got the details pretty worked out in my mind...how we'd post, how many threads we would need, etc., so don't worry your pretty little heads about all that....
My real question is: Does this sound like fun? Would this work for you? And when are you available?
I don't think it's been done this way before. Most study groups seem to start out with a single card and study one card at a time. I thought this would give us a hearty sending off, like slapping a champage bottle on the bow of our ship, and put us all in a very festive mood as in Look How Much We Accomplished in One Night!!
Then from that point on, we could each post cards as we are moved to do so...having periodic parties (possibly monthly, but we can decide on that later) to re-fuel and re-intensify our studies...
So What Do You Think About My Invitation?
Please RSVP any and all thoughts about that here.
I will try to influence you heavily
and mention that when I asked the Vanessa if this was the right way to proceed, I got the *Samantha Stevens* card, a favourite of many
I know, no fair!!!
Some details are:
We'd be online at the same time, almost like a chat, reading, chattering and posting over the top of each other ... hopefully
I would post a general party thread for us to converse and carouse and choose which card we were going to discuss next...
Each card would then have its own thread...meaning we would move the party out of the kitchen temporarily and into another room
Anyone could post on the individual card threads, either at the party or later...
Future parties would start out on the one general thread...for an example you can look at the Trade Train Rehab Center...in-between trains, that's where all the riders hang out and have general conversation; then when the next train departs, a new thread is started and the Rehab thread goes silent for a while...
Questions? Comments?
One concern is syncing up our time zones and trying to do the least harm to all of our needs for beauty rest!!
But that's a second step....
So first step is back to you...
Looking forward to hearing from you all!!

She was nice enough to send me the deck and told me if I didn't like it to send it back, but if I liked it I could just keep it!!!
