|
| Dinner:<br>
| | Disc golf! This time we're going to Byron. The [https://udisc.com/courses/byron-links-dgc-421X course] is just south of the Byron west stoplight. We waited until fall to let the wild parsnip flower heads (reported location of the 2nd half of the course) quit shedding pollen everywhere; but you still don't want to touch the plant. If the course turns out to still be too unenjoyable, we'll shift a few blocks NW to [https://udisc.com/courses/klingvall-park-kXgO Kingvall Park], and try their disc golf course instead. |
| 5:30 pm, Outback Steakhouse<br>
| |
| 1201 S. Broadway<br>
| |
| Menu and prices can be found [http://www.outback.com/menu/pdf/C26.pdf here] if you're the type to want to check it out in advance. Try to be there on time so we can get them to seat all of us together.

| |
| 7:05 showing at Wehrenberg Theater, near Fleet Farm<br>
| |
| [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0477080/ "Unstoppable"] , "A massive unmanned locomotive, nicknamed "The Beast" and loaded with toxic cargo, roars through the countryside, vaporizing anything put in front of it. A veteran engineer and a young conductor, aboard another train in the runaway's path, devise an incredible plan to try and stop it -- and prevent certain disaster in a heavily populated area."<br>

| === "Technical Meeting": Friday December 10th ===
| | Fall opportunity to take care of our community by picking up trash and getting some geocaching credit while we're at it. Bring your own gloves, but no water edge to deal with this time. |
| Due to lack of input as well as former hosting sites such as p0wned having gone out of business, Tina is hosting a gaming night at her house. Email her if you need address and/or directions. Start time is still in flux, probably 6 or 7 pm. Note that this is NOT our usual second Thursday, we pushed it back one night so people don't have to deal with getting to work in the morning.

|
| We play whatever you bring. Please consider bringing a folding table and chairs, board games, card games, video games, video game system accessories, and/or snacks and beverages. RSVP's of the types of stuff you're bringing would be appreciated so we don't have overstocks of some items such as four people hauling their folding table and chairs, or everyone bringing chips.
