When would be a good time for the next DCR chat?

Any suggestions on when would be a good time for the next DCR chat?

During our last chat, we used a php based chat system and several members commented that the refreshing was a bit distracting. I have since installed a Java based chat system that is much better. For people who have their own IRC client, it can be accessed with: irc.blitzed.org:6667 #dcr

On this note, the constant motion from the dozens of smiley faces at the bottom is somewhat distracting as well.

As for the time, anything after 7:00 PM EST would be fine for me. Not that anything before 7 would be impossible for me, but its easier to say that then to post my class schedule.

OK, I've limited the number to 20. The ones displayed are the ones normally displayed when composing a post.

For me, sometime during the night on an American friday or saturday would be good. I won't be able to make any sunday chats since that would be my monday, and I would be at college.

Just a casual time for members to engage in an informal discussion on topics that people happen to bring up. There is no special agenda for this next chat. Though I'm open to having a more structured chat in the future.

OK, how about Friday, May 6 from 10:00 - 11:00 PM Eastern time?

(Would that be 9:00 to 10:00 Central? Or 11:00 to 12:00?...I was never good with US times...)
