Discussion article for the meetup : London Social - Exposure to Direct Sunlight - June 23rd
The first London Social meetup will be taking place in St. James Park on Sunday June 23rd from 2pm.
Assuming the weather is nice, we'll be aiming to meet about here. I'll be bringing along some games and maybe some juggling equipment. If you have any of your own Apparatus of Awesomeness, feel free to bring it along.
If the weather is not nice, we will convene at the Old Star, which is just round the corner from St. James Park tube station. I'll update this post on the morning of the 23rd with confirmation of the venue, but the two locations are a short distance from each other. If in doubt, head to St. James Park tube and call me on +44 7887 718458 when you get there.
There is no set agenda or topic. We're going to have unstructured social fun like regular human beings. People will probably talk about utilitarian ethics and bitcoin and productivity systems, but also about dinosaurs and cake and fanfiction.
Bring a friend. Bring two if you can carry them.
(We also have a Google Group and a Facebook group. Why not join them?)

I am now looking for, and failing to find, Bitcoin fanfic.

Cryptonomicon?

Does this count?

Wouldn't it be original fic?

I'm imagining an episode of Duck Tales where Scrooge McDuck converts all his gold to Bitcoin to avoid taxation, and has to use 90s-style virtual reality in order to swim in his fortune.
There's an opportunity for Lawnmower Man crossover.
