Could you give more details on the location. I’m a birder and I’m interested in taking some pictures of it!

Why is this hawk's beak lost behind that tree trunk??

I wish more of these guys would pick off the damned rabbits from my yard!

Great! I'll message you closer to the day of to see if you're still interested and to give you the address.

I’m interested!!

Saw one there yesterday. Flew right in front of me carrying a pidgin.

Whatever hookslides is now has the alleyway. Once whatever is there inevitably fails they can slide in and maybe name recognition can break that curse.

Sounds good! Hoping this first meet goes well so it can keep going!

Oh my goodness I'm not sure I could handle more exposure! I thought maybe three people would be interested. My house is not that big haha.

Good ideas though, and I'll consider them for the future. But I'd prefer to keep this first meeting as a host....cozy? Cozy doesn't feel like the right word.

That’s cool, thanks for the invite.

If you wanted to try something out, you could do a virtual book club too.

Pick the book and make a few posts to raise awareness and get people to join. You could post on /r/uml too if you want more exposure.

Then at the predetermined time you can do a live chat from this sub, discuss the book.

I would be able to participate in that, and more than happy to help, if you decide the idea is interesting

sounds pretty cool! I've been meaning to have an excuse to get back to jumpstart on reading again, I'm totally down for It!

Oh no!! I'll either post again for a January meeting or if there was too much interest I'll PM you details. I haven't picked out a January date or book yet.

I'm in! Only issue is I'll be out of town for the first get together. :(

a mouse came up through my toilet the other day, we're counting on you for population control buddy

Yipe

Must be a Riverhawk.

I have seen so many rabbits in that park, I am guessing that’s why they are there.

only peregrine falcon pics are acceptable here

I just picked sci-fi for the first one. The hope is that as a group we can come up with titles/genres we'd enjoy. Maybe rotate who picks?

I’m in! Not usually much of a sci-fi reader but I’m a librarian so I love to read new things!

Patio is a tall order. Who else has one?

Totally different style of dive. Can't have a Thirsty First without a patio. Credit given where due though, it does meet the pole-blocking-the-stage criteria.

Buy the safe it’s collecting dust. It was for sale not sure if it still is.

Awesome!

Ahhh I'm so excited so many people are interested! I'll message you, along with the others, to see if you're still up for it come December.
