On to the Wimmens...?

So far, it sounds like the film discussion thing is winner. Hobbs, I can't see scheduling anything for this-coming February---too soon, man, way too soon. But I do think we might be able to do something for February, 2011, particularly if we have a successful film-discussion session in the summer---which we do have time to schedule. I'm going to assume those of you who may have read the post but haven't responded are expressing, er, quiet agreement with the idea. If not, speak now with whatever problem you might have. Otherwise, I'll get back with y'all about the choices for the whens and what not.

Now. Last Sunday, Hobbs and I were chatting after church and he suggested that it might be fun to approach the women’s group we met with last time specifically to discuss Joan Morgan’s When Chickenheads Come Home to Roost: My Life as a Hip Hop Feminist. I’ve read that book—I’ve taught that book, actually—and I hope you guy's'll trust me and Hobbs when we suggest that that specific book would be a terrific book to discuss at a joint men’s/women’s book group meeting.

Here's the problem: I HATE the idea of voiding one of our regular meetings in order to have a joint meeting with the women! While I am good for saying that the fact that we meet five times a year is a huge plus for us, I also very much feel like I want ALL FIVE of those meetings to be for US, y'know? Personally, I like the idea of shoehorning into our schedule an additional meeting with the women if, indeed, you guys want to go back there at all.

Discuss.
