Due South's 18th Birthday

[sage]

In 3 weeks, on Sept 22nd, it will be the 18th anniversary of the start of Due South's first season! Woohoo! The pilot was first aired back on April 23, 1994 as a sort of fall preview, and then they retooled the show a little over the summer. They aired "Free Willie" on September 22nd, and then they re-aired the pilot the next day.

So! Due South is turning 18! YAY!!! To celebrate, I think we should throw a viewing party and watch the Pilot & whatever other eps people feel like seeing. I'm thinking this could start around 1pm Chicago Time (CDT) on Saturday 9/22, but I'm open to suggestions on that. Obviously this will last for as long as there's interest across time zones.

(If you haven't come to a viewing party before, this is a Skype chat where we all press play on our media players at the same time and watch together while typing our squee in the chat window. We use Skype because, while annoying, it's the most reliable chat platform across different operating systems, and it's free.)

So, what do y'all think? Wanna have a party?

That's also my birthday, so I'll probably be forced to go out and be social, but it still sounds like a good idea for those who can attend.

Ooooh, that's awesome! What a great birthday twin! \o/

What time zone are you in? Maybe if there's something in particular you want to watch with the group, we can schedule that for a set time you'll be able to join us for? Also, we can watch things more than once as different time zones come around. :D

I'm in Eastern, so it's not far off, but I can't really say when I'll be available until after about 7pm :( My relatives tend to be indecisive.

Okay, I will do a reminder post the day before so that people with scheduling restrictions can check in. \o/
