Thread Orientation: This is a overview and report on the planned weekly chat sessions at the enenuru chat room. Here I add some thought and highlights on those events

---

Week 1: August 30th 9 am Eastern time



Yay! The first enenuru chat took place yesturday and was alot of fun. Great turn out people! I have never seen so many enthusiasts gathered in on spot, and the geekery did abound! Fortunately, we can do it all again next week as I will be sending another invitation around to all members through the boards PM system So here's hoping everyone can find a spot again next saturday for another enenuru chat.


Highlights from this week include:

- Consideration of the following you tube videos:

Dub-sar:

Bull lyre and pipe

(these two videos we considerd in the chat early in the day from when you have posted your links to the same XUCH - although you were one of te (few) who didnt make the chat!)

Great chat this week people, thanks for showing up! Hope to do the same thing next week - anyone who missed it last week take note! 0_0 p.s So keep an eye out for interesting ANE trivia and/or reading interest/notes etc. and we'll see you

[xuchilpaba]

I'm sorry. I had rl things to do....

[sheshki]

i was out of town. in berlin at a concert to remember. industrial music

berlinbruit.ironflame.de/

...one band used plastic buckets as helmets. they nailed some boards to a wooden frame...with some strange soundloops in the background...after they were done they lifted that construction up like a wall....it was like 2x2m and then they kicked it in pieces. thats art i guess;)
one of the other bands had 3 impaled sheepheads on stage, still drippin of blood...( it took a while til the stage was cleaned and ready for the next act, which i skipped cuz that was just brutal loud feeping noise...the kind that damage ur ears permanently )and all in all the music at that evening was like ...well...jet-engine with screaming id describe it....except one guy, zev is his name,hes somewhere around 65 yrs i guess, and he did some percusion stuff. and there was one guy sometimes reading poems...about boars......so...a funny night.
but next time im here chatting with you all...

[laramar]

Nice chatting and nice meeting new people! Thanks to everyone for participating. Looking forward to the next time, hoping to see even more enthusiastic enenurians at present

[ummia-inim-gina]

P.M. chat sounds great, I'll be there if I don't have to work.

[us4-he2-gal2]

Week #2:



This week in enenuru chat we continued with more banter and more yammer and so forth which was exchanged by at least Sheshki, Naomi, Lara and myself - possibly more mortals and some gods.. Highlights this week include the following YOUTUBE videos which were considered:

A Mysterious Sumerian cat?

de.youtube.com/watch?v=Gya02g-cOf4

---

This week we were graced by several members of the Sumerian pantheon, to our great surprise, perhaps even EA himself. Here is a small excerpt (note: as this point in the chat we were thrilled by the sudden appearance and disappearance of EA himself and his wife).

12:15 AM [Ea himslefs wife] ah so u dont belief in marriage ea
12:15 AM [Naomi]  
12:15 AM [us4-he2-gal2] NEAT    Maybe we could do a sacred marriage right sometime Naomi
12:15 AM [Ea himslefs wife] lets go home and talk about it
12:15 AM [us4-he2-gal2]  
12:15 AM [Naomi] ooh

12:15 AM [Ea himslefs wife] oh my
12:15 AM [Ea himslefs wife] yes my dear
User Ea himslefs wife has logged out.
User Ea himslef has logged out.
12:15 AM [us4-he2-gal2] Wow! its proof! its proof EA did have a wife! archaeological proof
12:16 AM [us4-he2-gal2] maybe not archaeological - but almost!
12:16 AM [sheshki] close
12:16 AM [us4-he2-gal2] this is an exciting room damn

Further events include the seduction of a innocent lady-chatters by means of Zoomorphic Mesopotamian Potency Incantation material - so crude yet so tasteful!

"With the love-making of a mountain goat six times,
with the love-making of a stag seven times,
with the love-making of a partridge twelve times,
make love to me! make love to me because I am young!"

[us4-he2-gal2]

Ack! Crap. Forgot saturday is coming up already!


Have been put on a new shift at my work this week hm, so weekend is part of my workweek - didnt realize it was coming up until you said that Naomi.

So I'll be at work at the regularly scheduled time hm... Will have to ask if people tihnk we should hold it at same time or change it. Not sure if consensus will be reached by tommorow though! So lets figure it out ;]

[sheshki]

Im probably around here for a chat.

[xuchilpaba]

I try and go to the chat room, usually every time I am on this forum and someone else is. No one ever talks to me. ):

[sheshki]

Hah! You guys kick ass I thought another round of Lara-talks-Finnish-to-Frank-Via-WWII-German-All-Language-Manuel was underway, until I got all dizzy and read your text the right way.

Sorry for my lack of orchistration the Eneuru chat this week folks, but my new shift suprised me. Im sure I'll be back to pestoring everyone into a little corner soon hm..

[sheshki]

oh, weve been there a bit later, maybe 20 minits. had to buy food which tooks longer then expected

[laramar]

I was 20 mins late because of router problems.

We tried to come up with a "summon enenurians to chat" incantation but we were not successful...need to practise

[laramar]

Highlight#2 : SHULAK VS URMAHLULLU: FIGHT!


Thats right! This week in enenuru chat, Shulak the great Mesopotamian Bathroom Demon squared off against his arch-nemesis: Urmahlullu the Mesopotamian Bathroom Guardian!

All was quiet and peaceful and we were watching youtube videos - when all the sudden Shulak came out of no where!

---

Fortunately the exorcist entered the room and I shouted "Exorcist - we are being stinkified by Shulak? Who will you do? he stinks!"
.....but it turned out to be his non-working day and I wondered: "ack where did Lara go? She left us alone to fight shulak!" At that point I beseeched the exorcist to summon Urmahlullu! His defeat of Shulak was astonishingly swift! 0_0

**** Enenuru Chat Downtime ****

As the group IM explained we are having an enenuru chat downtime for the next month or so - so as an alternative I have suggested the group maintain contact via IM in the meantime - And this is also a great chance to discuss ANE interest and misc. life trivia on a more direct level than on the board. Meet your fellow members! To keep people in touch I have given the below example of contact information:

Name: us4-he2-gal2

IM platforms: MSN - [e-mail]
Also AIM, YIM

Availability: I am often on IM although am often in middle of writing a post or email, usually chat on semi-regular basis or more.

favorite topics [optional]: Sumerian obscurity, Flatulent proverbs, efforts of board members, Sheshki's incredibly singular tablets.

All members with even a tiny social drive are encouraged to copy my above example and give us your IM contact info - this is a great chance to converse on the ANE and get some good topics going, and to be a little social at the same time, before enenuru chat is back online. Lets see who is out there! 0_0

[sheshki]

Good plan ush, here is my info.
Im on AIM, name is herbst9 .
Im online often, so dont hesitate to contact me.

********************
A big hello to all new members!

[xuchilpaba]

Sheshki, I added you.
