(Reposted from the advert on the Google Group).
I propose that the next meetup be on Saturday, the Ninth of July in the Two-Thousand-Sixteenth Year of the Common Era, at around 1900 EST.
(It would have been sooner, but I'm busy this weekend and the weekend after is the Fourth of July Weekend.)
If you can read this sentence, you're invited.
If you had to have someone else read that sentence for you or you divined its meaning through clairvoyance or some dark ritual, you're still invited, but in the latter case we will expect a lightning talk on how to practice clairvoyance or dark rituals.
If someone told you about it, you're invited.
If someone re-posted it somewhere else and you read it, you're invited.

No level of expertise is required, however I will expect some people to discourse on the subjects of Alabama and Memory.
They know who they are.
Do not worry if you don't think you're interesting enough. You're much more interesting than you think you are.
Even if you're not, you're invited anyway.
If you're interested in anything at all, speak up. No topic is off limits. (I expect civility, but that hasn't ever been an issue and I don't think it will be.)

We will be meeting at my apartment. Located at: 2065 Commerce Blvd. #327 Ann Arbor, MI 48103
If you need a ride there or back, please let someone know or mail the group well beforehand so we can figure out a way to transport you.
The apartment building has two entrances. If you go around the strip of buildings, there will be a parking lot, vast and free. Buzz at the door (just push the button labelled 327) and I (or someone) will let you in.
To get there on the bus from Down Town Ann Arbor, you can:
- Take the 28 to Pine Lake Cooperative which is near Pennsylvania Avenue.
- Take the 29 bus to Liberty and Maple, cross to the kitty corner (there are push-buttons on the signals), and walk south on Maple to Pennsylvania Avenue.
- Take the 27 bus to Pauline and Maple and walk north to Pennsylvania Avenue.
Pennsylvania Avenue leads into the back parking lot, see above for instructions from there.
If you are allergic to cats, please take something for it beforehand.
