Discussion article for the meetup : Twin Cities, MN (for real this time)

WHEN: 15 April 2012 01:00:00PM (-0700)

WHERE: Purple Onion Coffeeshop, 1301 University Avenue Southeast, Minneapolis, MN

[This meetup is really being put together by Helloses, but while his karma is just getting started I'm putting the text into a post on his behalf.]

Hi. Let's make this work.

Suggested discussion topics would be:

  • What do we want this group to do? Rationality practice? Skill sharing? Mastermind group?

  • Acquiring guinea pigs for the furtherance of mad science (testing Center for Modern Rationality material)

  • Fun - what it is and how to have almost more of it than you can handle

If you'd like to suggest a location closer to you or a different time, please comment to that effect. If you know a good coffeeshop with ample seating in Uptown or South Minneapolis, we could meet there instead. Also comment if you'd like to carpool.

If you're even slightly interested in this, please join up or at least comment.

Folks, let's hang out and take it from there.

So, it was a good time. The 4 year old lead us in a discussion of biomorphic freedom (she wants wings).

Darnit. I blew it and fell behind in blog following; didn't even see this get announced. I'd really like to attend one of these! I'll keep my eyes open for the next one.

That'll be interesting. Knock yourself out. :)

Hopefully it won't be busy; also I'll have a green sign with LW on it for everyone to recognize.

Me and my special lady are in. Mind a 4-year-old kid there, as well?

I think I'll be able to attend -- will add to my schedule.

Oops - as it happens, I have to work this weekend. Let us know how it turns out. Maybe a couple games of Resistance?

I'm on campus as well, and I should be there unless something comes up. I wonder how many LW readers we have at the U, because I would love to have a bayesian conspiracy chapter here

I'm interested. I live on-campus at the University, so this is walk-able.
