I've gone to the right spot (http://www.robertkellylive.com/rkl2005/index.htm), but I don't see any way into a chat on the screen. Bobo told me to look in the lower left corner the other day, but all that's there is a "links" button that doesn't get me closer to anything resembling a chat room. I hope someone comes to my rescue by 8:00.
-
It is in the lower lower left below "My Blog" and above the scroll.
-
Ugh, I fucking hate websites that change the size of your browser window.
-
you might need to maximize your window.

I am also going to attempt to download RK's "POD CAST", featured on that hot animated scroll.
-
I'm getting the sick feeling like this might be a BAD idea.
-
I've maximized my screen and can see "My Blog" now, but I can't see the chat.
If the Robert Kelly chat doesn't work, we could always use the old chat: http://client0.sigmachat.com/sc.php?id=147453 (http://client0.sigmachat.com/sc.php?id=147453)

A charming invitation, but I cannot get below "My Blog" to reach the chat. It can't be something as silly as the size of my monitor, can it (it's small)? If it is, I'm screwed: no chat for me tonight. Which means I probably won't bother to listen to the show live. Boo hoo.
-
um, is there perhaps a scrollbar on the right that will allow you to see further down?
-
I may be inept, but I'm not totally incompetent.
Right now, on the lower left corner, I can just barely perceive the top of what must be the chat button. To its right is the name Robert. I cannot go lower than that. The scrollbar to the right only seems to relate to the eight boxes above "My Blog," etc. (i.e., "bio and headshot," "schedule," and so on).
Is there perhaps a URL specifically for the chat so that I could get there directly?
later . . .
Ha, success! I don't know what I did, but somehow I managed to make the thing even bigger. See, yet again I panicked before I had exhausted my options. I never learn.

I'm currently hanging out solo in room "Talking Shit".

Sorry, I'm not gonna register on some dumb site just to chat in an ironic setting. I'll be listening, though...
-
I was joking about the Robert Kelly site being a good idea, it was the worst idea ever. I'm just sick of everyone moaning about the chat, whatever I do it doesn't work for someone.
I deleted the old chat and PAID for the updated version which I cannot get to work, let this be a lesson to everyone considering paying for software.
I'm trying to get it to work now, neglecting my wife, child and thai green curry in the process.
If all else fails use the old chat tonight.
Sorry.
-
I'll use your chat Jason. (hug)
-
It WAS a good idea! It was funny!
Please don't neglect a good green curry, Jason - old chat or Robert Kelly - no worries either way!
-
I forgot about the old chat (my bookmark for the site goes straight to the message board)
I though Robert Kelly was our only option. My bad.
-
Did you guys invade the Robert Kelly chat? How'd it work out?
I have this image of small, atomized clusters of FOT wandering around the internet, sort of a virtual version of the running gag my wife and I have every year when the Million Marijuana March rolls around.
Jason, don't let the chat complaints get you down. But wait, am I to understand that the whole thing is kerplooey, or that it just gives certain people trouble? It freezes up on me every now and then, but it's not such a big deal...
-
I listened to the whole show tonight, but was sadly never able to connect to the old (emergency) chat. Have no idea why.
Too bad, cause I had this whole "The Goonies remake starring Travelling Wilburys" and "Thrashin' remake starring Ted Leo" thing going on.
-
I never had any problems with the old (dead) chat. I got into the emergency chat just fine. Whatever Jason wants to do is fine with me, and I appreciate any and all efforts he puts towards this.
-
Fess up, Omar. You were pretending to be Robert Kelly, right?
-
It was no fun not being able to chat with you guys, although Erika and Laurie were in the emergency chat that I might have been hallucinating.
Jason, we love you; I think I speak for the group that we would pass the hat to help undercut the cost of the chat software you purchased. At the very least, I would send you 10 excruciating mix CDs as a token of my esteem.
-
Dave is right - you're doing a great job, Jason.
-
Did you guys invade the Robert Kelly chat? How'd it work out?
Very well. There may have been one true Robert Kelly fan there, but otherwise it was all FOT. Almost makes one feel sorry for Mr. Kelly.
It was proposed that we invade a different chat every week--as I put it, like the floating crap game in Guys and Dolls. The logistics could be cumbersome, but the project appealed to me. Guerilla chatting!

Sounds like a familiar idea... Because I beat you to it :)
-
I was not trying to take the credit, Samir, as I think is clear. Or is it just that you need to rub my nose in the fact of my sluggish fingers? Is that it? Huh?
Jeez.
-
Little from column A...
Ah, I'm just yankin' your chain.
A phrase I promise to never, ever, use again.
-
What's wrong with the old chat for now?
-
Not a thing. It was just fun hijacking someone else's.
-
Wow, what a turnout!
Not that there was anything wrong with the regular FOT chat to begin with (at least for me). I just thought, here's a poor guy who probably spent at least a few grand for a snazzy web presence, only to have it sit dormant for months on end. It wasn't supposed to be some kind of high-concept prank, like a flash mob (whoa boy, did THAT peter out quick), but just a bunch of lower-functioning FOTs amusing themselves.
I think a nomadic chat room would be a great idea.
also, in my heart of hearts, i really believe that Robert_Kelly_SWASS was the real deal. I think you've got a free pass to the next Tourgasm, Laurie!
-
I just have to show him my "puppies" if I want to get on the bus. Where's the vomit icon? Also, should I resurrect the "words I hate" thread? Because, seriously. You want to call breasts "puppies? How old are these people? Gross.
-
It doesn't seem possible that among all the icons in that chat there wasn't one for vomit. What an oversight!
-
Actually, there was a vomit icon. The vomit looked a bit like poo, though.
-

Maybe he has the message board set up so that he gets an instant message anytime there are more than 3 people in the chat at once or something.
-
Oh, wouldn't that be sad? And he showed up last night all excited to see his chat so unusually busy, only to be ignored and derided. Though he put on a brave face, he probably could just barely control his fingers enough to type, what with the way his shoulders were heaving with suppressed sobs. We should all be ashamed of ourselves.

Dammit, who the hell IS Robert Kelly?

Which is one of the many reasons why I shan't participate in these antics.

Aw, did you get puppies, Laurie? You should post pictures of them on the post-your-cat-thread. I can't believe you guys were picking on a poor third-tier comedian who loves cute furry animals!
-
It's creepy that he knew about the puppies, though. Don't you think? Makes me guilt over tormenting him diminish.
As for you, JJ, you're just too noble.
