Great news Looker :)
Too bad that 6 pm SLT will be 2AM here and on a working day.
Do you know if those tutorials are going to be held also in a more "friendly" hour for us poor Europeans?

Indeed Winter, that was my remark also, after reading this press release. Give me some time, I will try to find a solution.

Eschatos in-world ... said...

The main reason for the Thursday "repeat" is to have it at a more "European-friendly" time. Eventually Avatrait plans for two "live" tracks, but initially it is going to be the U.S. evening time, plus a recorded replay the next day (the details of exactly how that's going to work are still being explored).

Thanks guys :o)

Eschatos, just my 2 cents: why not do it on a friday or saturday evening, maybe 1 or 2 hours earlier (4 or 5 yr time)?

Kissy kiss and keep up the good work :)

My reply to this if I may Eschatos... Winter for this particular instructor those earlier hours during the week just don't work.

We will be looking to diversify the scheduling as we diversify the guest instructors who are able to hold these classes.

Avatrait has always tried to look at everyone's schedule when hosting events.

We appreciate your feedback and look forward to seeing you.

Warmest Regards,
Stephen Venkman, Avatrait Gallery Manager

Thank you Eschatos and Stephen, for keeping us updated. We hope that you will figure something out, so that the European residents will also be able to attend a class.
