I'm excited, I've never actually had an ACX meetup in the town I live in.

The food court in Lincoln Square South has been working surprisingly well for a boardgame meetup. I wonder if it would work for this too.

Also if anyone's interested in the other meetups I mentioned, there's:

  • The Millenial Social Club meetup group plays board games every Friday in the food court in Lincoln Tower South in Bellevue. The group is always huge (30+ people). It looks like they started doing it on Sundays recently too. https://meetu.ps/e/Ns6hh/blHm6/i
  • There's a Seattle Rationalists reading group that meets on Mondays in Seattle. https://meetu.ps/e/NrycV/blHm6/I
  • Seattle Effective Altruists occasionally has social meetups in Redmond but I don't know when the next will be: https://meetu.ps/e/Ns3Gt/blHm6/I

If anyone finds any other social rationalist-adjacent meetups on the east side I'd love to know, since I'm not really into book clubs and getting into Seattle is too hard after work.

In case anyone's wondering, the lights I talked about were these:

https://store.waveformlighting.com/products/centric-daylight-95-cri-t5-led-linear-light-fixture?variant=39433427845222

I have 8 of the 4 ft 5000K version (they're cheaper in 4-packs). I have them plugged into a switched outlet and daisy-chained together, and they're attached at the top of the wall to make it look like light is coming down from all around. They're tedious to setup by worth it in my opinion.

I like the 5000k version but some people might like warmer light like 4000k (or 6500k if you really like blue). https://www.waveformlighting.com/home-residential/which-led-light-color-temperature-should-i-choose

There's probably cheaper similarly-good lights available but Waveform's marketing materials worked on me: https://www.waveformlighting.com/high-cri-led

it's upstairs on fl2. if you see a map that only shows a meeting room 6 on fl2, don't believe it. ask the front desk staff for room 5!

I'm at the library. Meeting room 5 is upstairs!

By the way, please let me know if you'll need a ride to the library. I will be starting out from the lake hills area as early as 12:30pm and potentially making a detour through redmond if people need picking up.
