I was just seeking clarification. I'll be there with bells on whatever day it is. I'll try to bring at least the boy, too.

FWIW,
The "History Channel" 122 on MTA's DTV is advertising a series called "Sons of Liberty". Seams right up our alley; maybe for the cold dark evenings of Jan or Feb if someone could record and share.  Just sayin..

So no, it's not happening this Sunday?

No -- first time will be Sunday the 28th. I figured we ought to get past Christmas and keep spouse happy etc.

I'm going to meet with FourFans at 6 on this Sunday to confirm technology.  Anybody who wants to help with that is welcome.

If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. (James Madison)

"Young man, what we meant in going for those Redcoats was this: we always had governed ourselves and we always meant to. They didn't mean we should."
(Captain Levi Preston, of the Danvers militia, at age 91, remembering the day)

That it is an indispensable duty which we owe to God, our country, ourselves and posterity, by all lawful ways and means in our power to maintain, defend and preserve those civil and religious rights and liberties, for which many of our fathers fought, bled and died, and to hand them down entire to future generations.  Suffolk Resolves, September 9, 1774, attributed to Dr. Joseph Warren

Did a function check of the PS4 with the BRSP wireless network today. Went well, but won't be able to access T.A.R. episodes until the Playstation Network comes back up. If it's not working on Sunday, thoughts on alternate shows? I would suggest "Team America" but it's supposed to be a family friendly event and I don't want Andrew to put his tinfoil hat on and start ranting about how it wasn't North Korea...

As the countdown timer ticks to zero, can we get a final head count here? Tech seems to be working. I plan to bring myself +3. Still planning to start between 18-1830.

Some notes for discussing the series. I found this link while browsing my favorite blog on boston in 1775.

This is something that I have found fascinating as I've researched many stories and people: even when going back to "primary" sources one is always weighing the ulterior motives and backgrounds of those providing the material and how material get changed over time by the constant requoting of second hand retelling....

Enjoy the discussions around the tavern fire.... here's to history nerds...

Cheers
