If nobody minds I have a question about meetings. I'm looking up the schedule on the internet and it's kind of overwhelming. I've never been to one before and have no idea what to expect or even what some of this means:

4:00PM – Grupo AA Los Amigos—Iglesia Luz & Esperanza - “SS,NS” (90min)
7:00PM – Nineteenth Street Group – Fellowship House,** – "As Bill Sees It"
7:30PM – Mid City Group – St. Paul’s United Meth. Church, – "OD,NS"
8:00PM – 40th Street Group – St. Catherine Church,** (entry 40th St) – "C,BB,NS"

What does "As Bill Sees It" mean? Or what's the difference between open and closed discussion? Which is better for a "newbie"?

I'm nervous enough going and would like some ideas to help me choose the right ones.

Thanks
