Discussion 1:30 pm, Dark Star Safari, by Paul Theroux. Commerce Bank meeting room, Delmar and Leland (one block east, and across street from Cicero’s. Meeting room is accessed ONLY through always-locked glass door on Delmar sidewalk, just east of ATM. Bank parking tends to fill up with the usual Loop walkers and gawkers. You will probably want to park in the middle of the city lot, and walk a half block to both Cicero’s and Commerce Bank.

If there is any possibility you will arrive after 2:00 pm you will need to call Wilbur and Kay. We will be down some stairs and through 3 doors, so are not likely to hear unexpected latecomers.
