TWO hangouts: june 19th & 24th!

Sorry I missed this one. See you guys Monday.

I'm pulling out b/c it's filling up, plus my son was mad at me for keeping him up too late. Can't wait for BG though.

The times for these 2 haven't turned out to fit with my work and family (and sleep) schedules. Hopefully next rounds.

I will check back for a link as I will be around.

I'll post the link here for anyone who I don't have an invite email for. Not sure who will actually turn up!

Ah! Thought it was right now... time zone got me.

Is there any space left in this? I only just realised that there was a separate 'Events' area which I hadn't RSVPd to... like I always say to my students, should've read the Outline more carefully

there should be space, some have backed out.

Here's our hangout for tonight, June 24:

Hello:
How do I do this hangout? Is it still happening?

We just signed off. Sorry we missed you!

So I said I'd post the links that we discussed in chat during the Hangout here, but I in hindsight foolishly hung up, the window closed and it seems I didn't have log history turned on (don't know if you can get them back even if you do). My apologies! Does anyone have access to the chat record for the hangout? I just assumed it'd be saved somewhere. In the meantime I can list what I remember:

Anything I've missed?

For those who weren't there, we talked about setting up some kind of reading group for regular Hangouts - possibly reading non-contemplation related books (if indeed there is such a thing )

You forgot Alice in Wonderland, original version.

I love the book group hangout idea. I read books like some people drink beer. Glug glug glug glug. How hard would it be for us to agree on a selection? Alice in Wonderland was one most of us hadn't read. I'm open for anything.

Can I just say it never occurred to me that everyone hadn't read Alice in Wonderland. It was "before my time" too, but everyone I knew growing up read it over and over. It was a shared cultural reference. My husband reassured me it's like the Matrix. "I bet all these guys have seen the Matrix, and comment on the Buddhist stuff in it, right? It's like their Alice in Wonderland."



Super thanks for putting up the list of references from the hangout Rowan. Next time reminder to selves someone cut and paste the chat window before we hang up.

The woman (Ananta) I described as a hippie chick does some nice direct pointing.

Also I think Conscious TV was mentioned. I have it bookmarked right by BATGAP.

I'd definitely be up for reading Alice.
