I promise I wasn't THAT drunk  Buuuut I am very glad to hear Boston has some good bars I can visit next month!

After missing the last few I'll try to catch this next time  With timezones and stuff I'll just see which date it ends up being and then say if I'll able to make it or not, but normally next weekend should work!

@Ric 🍺☺
Belgium has the most interesting beer in the world, arguably the best. If so @Jolien Reads, I totally understand, am envious. Boston too has great beer bars, breweries and brewpubs. I may have spent a dollar or two patronizing some, or all, of these establishments. 😉

Cheers.

Makes me think a large amount of beer was involved  

I don't think I've ever had a deja vu... Not that I can remember at least. Not entirely related but I have had it happen a couple of times that I am almost certain something happened a specific way, and everyone else who was there with me during the event, remembers differently. Makes me think of parellel universes  

@Ric  Interesting question because I don't seek out time travel stories.  Maybe I'll try to write one.  Back in the 1980s I watched a rerun of a 60s show called The Time Tunnel.  I was hooked on this show. 🤣  I always enjoy when time travel comes up in a story or show but I haven't sought them out.  Maybe I will now.    Edit: Also A Wrinkle in Time - the tesseract etc...
 

Thanks, Jose! Sounds interesting. I’ll check it out. I remember a movie with a premise a bit like this but won’t say which one due to spoilers.
I hope the run went well …. and wasn’t too impeded by the beers.

@Ricyou should listen to Dream Theater 's Metropolis album. It tells the story of a man who experiences deja vu of a past life as a woman and investigates the circumstances of her death. With a fantastic plot twist at the end.

I've experienced it quite a few times and it weirds me out in a pleasant way  
I think it's probably some electrical thing in the brain that causes the experience to go into long term and short memory within nanoseconds of each other, giving the illusion that you are experiencing something (short term memory) and that it's happened before (long term memory).
The sci-fi loving part of me would like it to be a memory of a past life or an a crossover from a parallel world. Or maybe we can see outside of space and time in our dreams and we've already seen the event, so when it actually happens this triggers the memory. Who knows?
@Layla Azmi GousheyYes! I really enjoyed the Twelve Monkeys series. I love time travel in movies and on TV - some of my favourite content. Have you any favourites?

It’s like a glitch in the Matrix. So it definitely makes me feel a bit off-centered. 

Turns out I got my days wrong. My partner is working a late today so dinner will be around 7:15. So th as t would rule me out till at least 8.
Next weekend is a possibility for me.
 

It happens quite frequently to me and spooks me out. Especially because I can visualise almost exactly the same thing happening but never recall the date and time. 
Happens with conversations too.

Oh nice! Finishing up chapter 10 tonight. Lots to digest here. This one is pivotal, in many ways.  

I’ll be in Virginia that weekend but hope you’re all able to meet up!

Thanks for flagging this Chris. Would the 2nd be better or another day?

We have the Curse stream an 9pm BST so might be tough to fit in as Steve and crew are doing Berserk before that?
 
 

Food for thought from @JannyWurts

 
 

“You know what, sometimes it seems to me we're living in a world that we fabricate for ourselves. We decide what's good and what isn't, we draw maps of meanings for ourselves... And then we spend our whole lives struggling with what we have invented for ourselves. The problem is that each of us has our own version of it, so people find it hard to understand each other.”

Beautifully said and massive respect for Sanderson's statement. 🙏🏽

This amazing response clearly shows Brandon Sanderson can write and understands empathy, respect, sincerity, curiosity and positivity.
