    The September meeting will be at our regular V.I. on Saturday September 19th at 1pm. That's right, one hour earlier as we march towards TFA with a late lunch and Star Wars related discussion to follow.

    Newcomers: meal usually takes about an hour or so with meeting to follow, but you'll want to take in the whole thing. :)

    Just found out this morning my brother is coming to town. He refused to step inside a VI, so we'll probably do some other stuff. If he decides to go to his friend's house and smoke pot, I might come on over (it's my only day off).
