Discussion article for the meetup : Madison
With the intent of being the first of many regular meetups, let's get together on Tuesday. I plan to conduct a few exercises on brainstorming, including the "alternatives procedure" that Anna Salamon taught at the rationality minicamp. Mostly, though: discussion, meeting people, and assigning names, faces and personalities to usernames.
If you'd like to come but this time doesn't work for you, say something. I plan on doing this at least once every two weeks, so we should try to settle on a time that accommodates everyone in the long run.

Steven[0461] and I would like to come up from Chicagoland for a Madison meet-up sometime, but we could only make it on a weekend. We would only be occasional attendees at any rate, but perhaps you could also do a weekend meet-up every once in a while, in addition to whatever weekday you settle on. Also, the date in the title doesn't currently match the date in the text.

I am moving to Madison in September and I planned to start a meetup myself. Awesome!

Heh: I should have posted this a while ago, but there is a Less Wrong Madison mailing list

Is there anywhere I could read about Anna Salamon's "alternatives procedure" prior to today's meetup?

None I know of. And, of course, we didn't actually get to it today, either. I'm sure we'll do this in the future.

I can't make it to this one, but I'll be a regular in general.
