I didn't realize there were Lwers in the New Haven area; I should've expected that to change once school started up again. Tom McCabe is nearby too, I reckon. There should be a meetup, but I'm not allowed to organize those anymore.

By the power vested in me by the cult of CEV, I hereby grant you permission to organize LW meetups.

Relative LW newcomer (I think) Will_Sawin should be where Tom McCabe is, I think, if Tom is at Yale and Yale is near New Haven.

Why aren't you allowed?

I totally botched the one at the H+ summit that I had taken responsibility for, so I declared that I am no longer allowed to organize those.

Don't feel bad. You can't possibly be worse than me. I accidentally arranged a London meet-up with two days notice on Easter in a bookstore that was closed at the time (and Tomas, Richard, and Ciphergoth showed up anyway, to their great credit).

Meanwhile everyone else was busy at church celebrating the rebirth of Christ?

At least it isn't your religiously significant tradition you clashed with. :)

The Starbucks along the road was open, so we celebrated the global capitalists and their rascally way of making money by selling people what they want to buy.

Wait, so how was that bad?
