Meetup : West LA—Nothing in Particular

How to get in: Go to the Westside Tavern in the upstairs Wine Bar (all ages welcome), located inside the Westside Pavillion on the second floor, right by the movie theaters. The entrance sign says "Lounge".

Parking is free for 3 hours, or for longer if you apply some advanced trickery.

Discussion: We will talk about whatever. No topic will be enforced. No presentation will be given. No one will be "playing host", and no games will be played.

• Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid
• The Strategy of Conflict
• How to Win Friends and Influence People
• The Road to Reality
• The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs

No prior knowledge of or exposure to Less Wrong is necessary; this will be generally accessible. In fact, due to the Zen nature of this week's topic, it is unlikely that anyone will even be able to identify us as a Less Wrong meetup.

There will definitely not be a whiteboard.
