Howeird reviewed a show on TLC called '90 Days Fiance' as more drama per square inch than any other show & that it reinforces the idea that US citizens are woefully ignorant

Nathan reviewed our meeting as 'very odd'

Various online conventions were discussed & the ways they are adapting to the times
