I was just looking at Best buy has a free standing omni directional microphone for $50 bucks. That's definitely within my budget.

So the December meeting isn't going to work on the second Thursday of the month because it directly conflicts with Christmas concerts. 
We *could* do the 15th if that would work with everybody.

Let's nail down a date/time/place early if we can!   Wednesday doesn't
really work for me though...

One of those flat mics that sit on the desk/floor might be a good

three armed conference call phones was called.

I've beeen hearing alot of murmurs about Mastodon as an alternative
for Twitter (which I never use) in some cases.  I'm just enjoying
watching the dumpster fire over there. 

Elon is a smart smart engineer, but he's also a doofus.
