Ok, so I lied.
The group video convo today, at 5:30pm Eastern, is at 9:30pm GMT. Not 10:30 like I had originally thought.
Come join us! PM me your skype account ID if interested.

To those who do not understand timezones in this thread:
Firstly, 
Secondly, "GMT" is not a synonym for "time in the UK". It depends on the time of year. For the summer (between last Sunday of March and last Sunday of October), the UK is on BST (British Summer Time). This is one hour ahead of GMT. The rest of the year, the UK is on GMT.
Since we're within the summer period, the UK is on BST.
So 5:30pm EST is 10:30pm BST at the moment.

Oh my gosh, that's why I was so confused! I had no idea there was such a thing as "BST." Lol, thanks Tib. Learn something new everyday.

The only timezone I understand is if it's daylight you're just going to hear a toddler asking a thousand questions a minute from my end of the call.

It's basically the same thing as daylight savings in the US. Except the dates are slightly different in the US, so you end up with a 4 hour time difference for a few weeks a year.
