    I think I just looked at the Saturday part.... I got some good exercise though and the Librarian I talked to said someone else came as well looking for the meetup.... so I feel a little better that I was not the only one :) I should still be able to make it in Febuary.

    Ryan - that other person who showed up for the meet up was me. For some reason, I thought the meet up was that day too. Oh well, I hope to be there for the real date :)

    Looks like at least one "attendee" changed his mind about coming, but didn't change from "attending". My guess is that there will be at least a few spots open from no shows. I'm on the wait list, just in case.

    Please make sure to change your RSVP tonight if you are not coming for the event so people from the Waiting list could take your spot. The attendance will be taken at the event and Three Strikes policy is in effect. Thank you for being considered toward your fellow members.

    We loved Thrive!! It was longer than expected so we were not able to stay for the discussion. The film was amazing though!!
  • Mark W
    loved it, would have liked to stay longer for discussion but had to go to work and leave early
  • Linda Oberwise
    very scary and informative
  • John Stachura
    The presentation was very informative. Whether or not this monumental conspiracy is taking place is of no concern to me. Enslavement of the population can never work. History has many examples of suppression failing. If the objective is to reduce the population through flu shots, pills or mass murder and keep only those who will serve the purpose of the Illuminati, there will remain freedom. The most important thought to nurture is that it is the population that empowers the Oligarchs. Waking people up to Truth is the way to remove power from the plutocracy. It will happen.
  • Marty
    Interesting and I wish I had been able to see the whole thing and participate in the post discussion. Hopefully next time Circumstances won't intervene like this time.
  • Andrew Shykofsky
    This was a well run event, punctual, comfortable and a great film.
