Just in case you'd prefer an online format, 1984 can be read online here.

Can you dance in a post-apocalyptic world?

David Bowie was a fan of George Orwell and wanted to do a concept album of Orwell's book 1984. Bowie started working on the material in 1973 but was unable to get permission from Orwell's estate. Not all was lost. In 1974, Bowie released Diamond Dogs a rock concept-album about a post-apocalyptic world.

I thought this video would be fun to post. This is David Bowie performing his song "1984" from Diamond Dogs.

Meetings

What does everyone thing about having a more "regular" meeting time? For example, the 3rd Tuesday of each month at 6pm. That might help in scheduling other life events. Just an idea.
