Pom Michael Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 I guess this is at least a gesture by the US Embassy/American Citizen Services - but don't believe that they have anything to offer that we cannot get from other sources. But if the really hard stuff starts coming down - well, it will be welcome. Anyway - already canx and changed: AMERICAN TOWN HALL NOTICE Due to ongoing security and safety concerns, the Town Hall meeting scheduled for Tuesday, May 18 at 2pm has been re-formatted into a virtual Town Hall meeting to be held on-line. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanddawg1 Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Will they be serving cocktails? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardy641 Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Announcing such a meeting publicly is not very smart. I know this isn't Iraq or Afghanistan but if the reds want further escalate a few M79 grenades will do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acockasian Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 From the name it sounds like a short time hotel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian2 Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 I'm not holding my breath waiting for the Australian embassy to do the same. You cease to exist once you leave Aussie borders. You never know though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gene1944 Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 I tried to sign in at 4pm and was told they were over subscribed or something to that effect. Nothing on website about a transcript. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
