Updated tiers!
🕑 Added 2020-11-06 08:20:47 +0000 UTCHallo you lovely Patreonites, you mini-Medicis, you community of top notch folks with great taste in whatever this thing is.
As I mentioned a little while back, I’ve been planning to update the tiers for a little while, and then I procrastinated out of fear that everyone would storm off in disgust. But I’ve done it now! There are no wildly substantive changes apart from to the one-on-one calls, which were becoming unsustainable time wise.
So, instead, if you’re on one of the relevant levels, I’ll be doing weekly salons, starting next week. If you’re not, don’t worry about the rest of this post unless you’ve got an interest in people-logistics.

There will be one Salon a week from now on - I’ll run them on the same day, but in a different time zone each week, if that makes sense?
So say we pick tuesday (I’m open to whichever day of the week is going to suit most people); we’ll do:
- 7pm GMT (U.K. time) next Tuesday,
- 7pm PST (west coast US time) the Tuesday after that,
- 7pm AEST (Aus time) the Tuesday after that,
- and then either a week off, or 7pm in another time zone that suits some people better.
And the next month the same again.
You can come to whatever time suits you (so for example 7pm AEST is 8am GMT, and if you’re in the U.K. and would rather morning tea, that’s cool).
I’ll put up a post with the Zoom link and time the day before, and you bring yourself and your tea to the room at the assigned time for a chat. I’ll ramble for a bit and then we can just have a nice time. If you’re the only one to show up, or if ten people show up, it’ll be fun either way.
This is basically an online proxy for how I like to run my birthday parties - I just say “I’ll be in this park all afternoon” and people filter in and out as it suits them.
I have no idea how well this will work, and if it’s a disaster, we can try something else! I love talking to you all.
I’ll send out the links and passwords to all Afternoon Tea and and Tea and Snacks tier people for the next month, and then we’ll see where we’re at.
Thoughts? Worries? Useful links for online meeting organisation tools? Favourite day of the week?
If you’re worried about something, let me know below or message me on this app.
Thanks for reading all this way down, if you did, and if you didn’t, how are you reading this now?! MAGIC!

The first one is scheduled for this coming Tuesday. Thanks for the feedback!
May I suggest that instead of saying "next Tuesday" you specify the calendar date? At this point I'm a little confused since I don't see any post for a party Tuesday Nov. 10, which in American English is next Tuesday relative to Nov. 6. Is this simply a language problem surrounding the accepted meaning of "next" when discussing the calendar?

Sounds good to me. Looking forward to it.

Sounds great! I agree with Jonathan, after all, who doesn't like a tea party!
I may well hit you up. Spreadsheets are a different country for me
shout if I can help, I'm a total spreadsheet geek
Good point, I don’t think I’d have the heart to boot someone out if they exceeded their total, so I’d have to be organised about sending out the links and passwords
I guess a spreadsheet to keep track of people in the salon? If it's good enough for tracking corona virus cases...
I think yes? Why not! Maybe I’ll make it the $15 level for 1x a month and $25 for as many as you want? Though how I’d police that I have no idea.
I love this idea! Getting to know some of the other folk here would be fantastic. Could we attend multiple salons a month?
