WARNING: We are NOT meeting on Tuesday this week, since Tuesday is Christmas eve. We are meeting on SATURDAY, December 28th. 

Come get old-fashioned with us, and let's read the sequences at Lighthaven! We'll show up, mingle, do intros, and then split off into randomized groups for some sequences discussion. Please do the reading beforehand - it should be no more than 20 minutes of reading.

This group is aimed for people who are new to the sequences and would enjoy a group experience, but also for people who've been around LessWrong and LessWrong meetups for a while and would like a refresher.

This meetup will also have dinner provided! We'll be ordering pizza-of-the-day from Sliver (including 2 vegan pizzas). Please RSVP to this event so we know how many people to have food for.

We're roughly working through the sequences highlights [? · GW]. The mandatory readings this week are

  1. Beyond the Reach of God [LW · GW]
  2. On Doing the Impossible [LW · GW]

The posts should take around 15-20 minutes to read if you've read them before, and 30-60 mins if it's your first time.

The event starts at 6:30, and doors open 6pm (yes we will let you in early if you get here). At 6:30 we'll welcome people, give a few announcements, and then split into groups. Pizza will be served at about 7:30pm, after which point we'll hangout around the fireside as late as we feel like.

If you'd like to help us keep dinner going, you can donate here [? · GW] (dinner costs about $200 each time, we recommend $5-$15 as a donation amount per person).

You can come without having read the essays from the sequences, we do want you to get to join, but then you will have to do a punishment. (And then you still have to catch up on reading the essays during the meetup.)

If you're ever having a hard time getting in the front door, you can call me (Ben) at five one oh, nine nine eight, four seven seven one, or Ronny at two oh one, four oh six, six eight seven two, and we'll come and get you.
