Moving the Clock Crew Academy?

[LotusClock]

Hello boys and girls (if any)

As you all should know, tomorrow is the Clock Crew Academy day. Every Saturday, some of the finest Clock artists met at 4pm UCT on our very own chat channel to have fun and enjoy drawing as a group.

Lately, though, the attendance has been dropping dramatically. Between the chat switching servers many times on one month and ZombieLincoln leaving to lands unknown, the population of Clocks joining in to the fun has dropped to near nothing.

As I post the Academy threads, most of the replies go along the lines of "I can't come. I'm busy doing something" or "I'll be away from home", so I've been thinking Saturday isn't the best time to ensure a good attendance. Heck, even the most faithful regulars, like Radiotube or Wind-up, have stopped showing up.

So I've been thinking about changing the Academy time all together, andI'm posting a thread to find out through popular opinion, what would be a better time to hold Academies. Tell me, if you are interrested, when would it be most convenient to you.

Now, to those of you who don't know what the Clock Crew Academy is, basically it's a group meeting where we practice drawing to improve our skills. The point isn't to be better than everyone, but to take on new challenges and learn more about the art of drawing, which in the long run will help you become better animators. I've seen a lot of people passing topics just because "I can't draw cars". Even if you can't, try it anyway. Who knows, you might learn something very useful out of it, and that's the whole point: to learn by drawing.

All right. I've exposed my cause. Tomorrow's Academy will be at its current regular time, but I'll use the data from this thread to set a new time for the future meetings if we need to move it.

Well it always is a major problem. Friday night is a clubbing night, Saturday can also be a clubbing night as most sunday nights i'd rather not stop up cos i have college in the morning.

Since Summer vacation is coming up, those who no longer have school would be able to make it to the Academy if it was a later time too without worrying about staying inside for 4 hours straight on a beautiful day.
But then that might conflict with the Sunday, so who knows.  Maybe we can have the Academy twice a week, one on Wednesday or Monday or whatever and the other on whatever day is agreed upon.  Both would have the same topics and whatnot and would really be for those who couldn't make the first.

Yeah but some people work.

Yeah but some people work.

That's why I said "People in school" and not everyone.  I don't know how we'd accommodate for people with work

[AstronautClock]

I still have school for 4 weeks asshole

[Wind-up Clock]

Hey, i had a lot of things to do the past few weeks. i would have come if i could have, but i was not able to.

[LotusClock]

Looks like Sunday, in the early afternoon is a popular pick. Considering that 4pm GMT is still early in the morning right here (11am is early for me), I could start it just a bit later, like between 1pm and 4 or 5 pm (GMT = between 6 and 9 or 10). Let's see if we can come to an agreement on this. I'll hang out on the Academy chatroom tomorrow so we can discuss more on the issue live (and maybe threw in a few topics for fun)
