A meeting of firsts on Tuesday: Sonja as 1st time evaluator, Terree as 1st time Table Topics Master, Jackie as 1st time General Evaluator and Julie gave her icebreaker speech.

With a theme of “Improv” Eric started us out with no agenda and promised to tell us WHY at the end of the meeting. Would it be to improve our improv? Prove our proverbs?….

Julie told us her story about the ever-changing the color of her house while her husband was away on assignment for the military. His perennial question prior to his deployment home was always “What Color is My House?”.  The latest version:

Hannes then told us about the original social networking – actually talking to people face to face and some useful techniques for doing so!

And our last speaker was Debra who demonstrated very effectively how world leaders could wage a bloodless war by merely texting one another on what they were going to do to each other. General Petraeus and an Unknown Taliban Leader were funnily portrayed on the TT stage with animated texting.

Wrapping up the meeting was the award for Best Table Topics Speaker which went to Stephen for eloquently discussing his plans for a Lady GaGa themed Halloween. In the spirit of the theme the meeting (Improv), he was presented with a signed photograph of our very own Tom Carey.

Stay tuned for next weeks meeting theme. (Hint: Nothing to do with politics) We’ve had enough of that on the tube.

Cheers,

Marc
