[nesfa-reading-group] What’cha_think_about_a_v irtual_Reading_Group_test?

[Louis Galvez III]

Let’s meet this Friday at 7 pm via jitsi.org. 

One limitation of jitsi (or a limitation of me in not being able to find how to do this - if it can be done) is the inability to schedule a meeting in advance. I’ll create a meeting on Friday around 6PM and reply to this email chain with the link. Click the link in the email and it’ll open the meeting in your browser or, if you’re using a smartphone or tablet, you’d have the option of using the smartphone/tablet app. 

We’ll read what I suggested earlier 

We’ll read and discuss a story available online so it’ll be easy for everyone to get. I like the name of this one: The Secret Life of Bots by Suzanne Palmer. Click on the link below to read the story.

As for ‘The Other David’, here’s a few more suggestions:
DaW (if it’s good enough for a SF imprint...)
DWit (using the RKov model)
David (or Dave) W
TOD (the other David)

See everyone Friday around 7 pm. 

Louis

The bastard child of absurdity and the sublime.
