Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Hey dude, I'm available Friday to whenever best after 5 pm eastern. If that's not ok, I might be able to change my plans and stuff. But I'm generally busy before 5.
I can play anytime during the weekday during that time. I'm US Eastern as well. 5 am is a bit early though. :P I would say.. closer to 12 or 2 would be best.
