We could have one here at Benton this Sunday, or we could go for June 5 so that folks have warning and can plan. My feeling is that the latter would be better. What do you think?

ARGH— how do you always know which weekends I'll be out of town? It's been uncanny so far, and if you add June 5th, I'll have missed the last 3 LW meetups before moving away from California.

Is there a reason why that weekend would be preferable to the week before or the week after?

I'll be out of town the weekend before. The week after would work for me; it's just farther away.

Given the fact that those two dates are 3 weeks apart, I don't see any reason why there couldn't be meet-ups on both dates.

Having meet-ups here diverts a lot of time from all 12 or so Benton-ites, Eliezer if he comes, and Michael Vassar if he comes.

Perhaps a net cost of $2k or so in diverted time.

Which isn't to say we shouldn't maybe have more meet-ups; many have suggested we should.

Justin Shovelain says everyone takes Saturday off anyway, right? It seems likely that Michael Vassar and Eliezer also benefit from occasional breaks.

Maybe you can have a meetup on the 16th at Holder's Country Inn and whoever wants to from Benton can go, and then there can still be a June 5th meetup at Benton? Though if it's more than 8 people it stops working as well at a restaurant.

Lucas Sloan, I, and one other person will be at the Holder's Country Inn for sure. Anyone else who wants to come can.
