Our next meeting is 7 July 2009 at the usual place, the Pittsford Barnes & Noble Community Room, and we'll be doing our own Hugo vote. Thanks to esteemed VP Craig DeLancey for posting the following to the listserv:

The next meeting of R-Spec will be our annual discussion of Hugo
nominated short stories.

What?  Homework!

No, I tell ye.  Here are ALL the Hugo nominated short stories, with
links to podcasts of them being read.  You can listen to them while
ironing or driving or laying on your back being fed grapes by your
slavebots.  Painless!
