cool, make sure you RSVP here so that we order you a meal:

Third Thursdays is an interesting format in that the first hour is devoted to the panel discussion. In the 2nd hour, the audience splits into small facilitated dinner/discussion groups. We reconvene at the end for final questions.

Then we sit in a circle, hold hands and sing songs. (just kidding)

As hokey as that format sounds, it actually works remarkably well for fostering discussion amongst a group of people whom you just met.

Make sure you introduce yourself! I'll be the guy moderating the panel!
