[Smashpatriarchy] call-out for reading group

[Peter Gill]

Sorry for taking so long to respond.

Great write up Reg.  If folks are okay with it I'll post on facebook once
we have copies of the books in at spartacus.  I ordered 6 hopefully that's
enough.

One idea a few of us have been throwing around is meeting up for tea and
coffee sometime in the next few weeks.  I think this is a great idea.
 Shall we make it a Tuesday Night?  Let's say Tuesday the 20th?  Does that
work for most folks?

Also I think it would be great if we had the reading group at spartacus
books.

Lov
