start at 6 pm ET in #nkerth. '

<snip pre-awards party>

<TerriAnn> what sounds are Anne playing and where can I get 
them?

<AMCiotola> 
http://www.simplyorganized.simplenet.com/kerth/sounds.html

* KathyB murmurs into a microphone ... "well, the celebrities 
are starting to make their way into the auditorium.  Now to 
Joan Rivers and her daughter Melissa for a commentary on what 
everyone is wearing.  Joan?"

<KathR> Wow, the gangs all here

* CrystalW grabs a tissue... sniffle.... it's been too long

<Demi> We always turn out in huge numbers for these black tie 
events, Kath(R) ;)

<sheilah> Black tie, Demi?  Damn, I'm in gold lame' :)

* PeaceEv notes that that annoying Joan person came up to her 
and then didn't say anything more.... hmph!

<zoomway> I have my red sequin vest and spinning bow tie, 
I'll just feel so bad if anyone is wearing the same ;)

<Demi> Sheila..I wasn't talking about your lingire... ;)

* DonnaB adjusts her train. She keeps stepping on it...It's a 
backless number that's way too cool for this chilly 
weather...

* KathyB models her floor length green dress ... after 
wearing ropes to the first Kerths, I thought I'd go more 
conservative for tonight

<sheilah> Yeah, I had to pass on the white cotton.

* AMCiotola models her brand new PJs ...

* Wendymr models a large bottle of cough medicine

* Jenerator models her old nightie and dressinggown

<Demi> Hee.. Kath.. you look stunning in green ;)

<ELK> It looks stunning on you, WEndy <g>

<sheilah> Kathy, the green is more your color than the ropes 
were.

* PeaceEv stares in dismay at her black T-shirt

* PeaceEv thought this was casual Friday -- oops!!!

<sheilah> Quick, Peace, the usher will hand you a black tie.

* PeaceEv spins quickly into something more appropriate... 
um... um... Ah, yes, the Badgely Mischka should do nicely :)

<Joy> denim and diamonds, very chick

* Jenerator considers making a statement and going naked to 
show how unprepared she is to be involved in this whole thing

<LadyBiker> Lab. . . lovely outfit.

<sheilah> I figured I'd better dress up this year since I'm 
presenting.

<ELK> conservative, Kathy? that would be a first <g>

<LoisLane> i am wearing a dress just like Lois did in Lucky 
Leon ;)

<KathyB> just because you came covered in drywall dust, Erin 
<running>

* ELK thwaps Kathy <g>

<LabRat> I'm going to be wearing German Shepherd in a moment 
if this one doesn't quit complaining and get to sleep

<LadyBiker> Love my shepherd. Shush. . . the awards are on!

<ChiefPam> Hello everyone ... I will now ignore you for the 
rest of the evening ... hazards of being a volunteer :)

<Wendymr> good luck, all nominees!

<sheilah> Good luck, Kathy.

* PeaceEv points people to logs and pictures of the wedding:

<Elena_> lol

<PeaceEv> and welcome.to/kingston.hope.wedding/  :)

<TerriAnn> do ya'll see the commercial? No wonder rat writes

stretch...

<OrdLaurie> it was fun being at a wedding sitting at home 
wearing shorts

<RAsh> I wish I'd been there, Peace...

<PeaceEv> Kathy, about the same number, actually <g>

<FlakeyDom> Makes the reception easier too...the guests bring 
their own food and drink ,g>

<WAFFyBarb> it read very beautifully.....

<LoisLane> ROTFLMAo about the asabi commericial

<WAFFyBarb> hey, I've finally got a reasonably decent ed of 
MIRC, but I can't get the "type here" line to go to double or 
triple spacing - anybody know how?

<LoisLane> commericial.. very funny! <VBEG>

* supermags bows before the goddesses of Fanfic (with a wink 
to the God of Electrons)

<RAsh> Wow, congrats, again, Gorn...

<OrdLaurie> i hope gorn would be pleased

<Melisma> i wanted to meet her...

<Elena_> Oh Gorn, where are you?

*** KathyB changes topic to 'Best Nfic Revelation: A 
Consummate Revelation by Gorn '

<DonnaB> Hope someone can get a hold of her and tell her...

<RAsh> Is Gorn not on here?

<CKgroupie> Great story!

<Laurach> oops yaya gorn

<KathyB> She's not here ... not even in FoLCdom anymore

<Ren33> congrats

<Jenerator> onya gorn

<RAsh> I knew she wasn't into L&C much anymore

<WAFFyBarb> Has anybody even *seen* Gorn in a couple of 
years....

<KathyB> But it is a classic nfic. :)

<LoisLane> LOL whoever you are? 

<CKgroupie> so sad that Gorn isn't in Folcdom anymore! What a 
great writer!

<Jenerator> i woulda voted for that one, if i'd voted inthese 
awards

<CryssieW> I don't think she does L&C anymore... as we were 
saying before, at least she left us some beautiful stories to 
remember her by :)

<WAFFyBarb> Yes she did, Cryssie....

<DonnaB> I talked her into putting some unfinished L&C fic up 
about a year and a half ago but all her addys seem to have 
changed since then...

<KathyB> you didn't vote, Jen??

<RAsh> I wonder is she's still into Trek?

<zoomway> no, barb, she hates L&C, she hasn't been in the 
fandom for quite a while

<LoisLane> :(

* CryssieW thwapps Jen... you didn't vote for me... sniffle!!

<DonnaB> Nooo...

<Jenerator> i'm SO behind in my reading kathy, i didn't think 
it would be fair to vote when i haven't read all the stories

<DonnaB> Have to say ditto there Jen...

<RAsh> Hey, Zoom, how are you and yours?

<ESPMissy> Maybe with a little encouragement, we could twist 
her arm enough to finish that series she started... <G>

<Kaethel79> congrats, Labby and Gorn!!! :)

<PeaceEv> re Jac :)

<LoisLane> i didn't vote either because of that

<TerriAnn> looks like we just lost Washington

<Jenerator> is someone in contact with her to let her know 
she won?

<LabRat10> Thanks, Helene!

* ESPMissy is wanting to convince Zoom to finish one also..

* WAFFyBarb is in the same boat as Jen - reading is *SO* far 
behind it's not funny.....

<CrystalW> I'm learning that keeping two nicks is very handy 
during splits ;)

<LoisLane> yeah

* FlakeyDom got very confused over what this category meant

<Wendymr> is someone going to tell us what the euphemisms are 
in each case?  <g>

<zoomway> oh, m'dear, you know I'm a delicate flower who 
nevah writes nfic ;)

<FlakeyDom> Exactly....?

<sheilah> I hope batter up wins--it really used euphemisms.

<LoisLane> ah catch phrases?

<KathyB> that's the one I voted for, too, Sheila!

<LoisLane> is that what that means?

<ESPMissy> Can I say I loved "Batter Up" even if I wrote on 
it? <G>

<KathyB> yes, Missy <g>

<FlakeyDom> I thought The Nutmeg Room would have made it in 
here

<KathyB> I don't think anyone knew what this category meant 
..so voting was interesting, I'm sure!

<Melisma> re charlotte

<ESPMissy> I re-read it during the voting.. and it made me 
laugh and swallow my gum, all at the same time.. <G>

<Ximemia> This was Zoom's kind of nfic.  ;)

<CrystalW> LOL

<KathyB> exactly Xim <g>

<Kaethel79> bye, everyone, I'm off to bed 

<DonnaB> I didn't think you were a euphemist KB...;)

<Melisma> lol xi

<KathyB> neither did I, donna ;)

<Ximemia> no burrowing gophers or raisens  ;)

<Nan> lol

<sheilah> I didn't know*I* was one, Donna

<DonnaB> Yah..just saw that one Sheila...

<DonnaB> Me neither..

<Demi> We should have listed what the euphemisms were <g>

<LoisLane> i haven't read it but i sure love that title.. 
Undressed Rehearsal.. Mmmm.. ;-.)

<Wendymr> yeah

<Wendymr> like 'Mr Happy'  :(

<FlakeyDom> Knowing that they were would have been useful

<ESPMissy> Captain Sparkey? <G>

<ChiefPam> Definitely should have defined the euphemisms... 
oh well

<KathyB> Alexis, that's a Dean and Teri nfic ;)

<PeaceEv> Well, Undressed Rehearsal was Teri & Dean not L&C

<ESPMissy> Yeah Sheila@

<Demi> Go Sheila!!

<ChiefPam> Maybe next year :)

<ESPMissy> er..

although it wasn't nfic

<daydreame> oh really Donna. Funny I never knew that

<Nan> I thought so

<LabRat10> Oh, I howl at that fic.

<OrdLaurie> well, teach that to the young folks taht I see 
that can't even spellcheck their college papers!

supply of doublecrunch bars?  Hmmm...

<Laurach> mmmm we heard

<RAsh> Cryssis,

<PeaceEv> Dom, you would win with Whisky!

<DonnaB> It's the name of a female conductor. Or composer?

<Nan> Sounds good to me, Dom

<DonnaB> One of the two.

<KathyB> Here we go, the big category!

<RAsh> I don't know how to answer the IMs - 6th grade math

<LoisLane> i have a different fantasy with chocolate.. but 
nevermind about that.. ;X

<Ximemia> Dom, now that's the missing category!

<Jenerator> joe says to say that i should excuse my nonvoting 
by the fact that because of my religious convictions, i had 
to put in a postal vote

<CryssieW> that's okay... I teach 7th and 8th this year... 
all 4 core subjects... it's a handful!

<LabRat10> Lol, Jen

<RAsh> Wow, Cryssie, a real hadnful

<LoisLane> lol

<TerriAnn> We can't have a Chocolate Category - Dom would win 
everytime :)

<CryssieW> I think Julie used to teach math as well 
(Mackteach)... now she's a councelor

<DonnaB> You deserve hazard pay Crys.

<daydreame> this is probably the toughest category to vote on

<LoisLane> yep
