I'm in Santa Cruz and I'm vaguely thinking about going. I'm not sure yet.
Edit: I have a car so I could drive.
Would you be interested to meet in Santa Cruz?
Aside from being social and all that, it would be neat to be not-strangers if you were interested in carpooling to car-distance meetups.
Last month, about 7 people showed up to the Berkeley LW meet-up. To build on that success, we will be meeting on Saturday, October 9 at 7 PM at the Starbucks at 2224 Shattuck Avenue. I'll be there with a sign saying "If you read Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, come talk to me." Last time, we chatted at the Starbucks for about an hour then went somewhere for dinner, so don't feel like you have to eat before you come. Hope to see you there!
