Thanks to Ishmael for taking notes.

We meet on Tuesdays at 7:45 pm, at 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA. Let me know if you want to come.

We have been having a holiday party every year on January 1 to share food, drink, and music with our friends. Let me know if you:

• Want to come
• if you really want to come but can’t make it that day but can suggest other days that would work
• if you think it’s a tradition that has outlived its usefulness and that you might come if it isn’t too inconvenient but you consider it one more depressing obligation in a season of far too many obligations.
• or if there’s some other category that the above doesn’t cover but you want to communicate to me.
