For some reason I'm awfully bad at bringing people together. There's something about the task that I can't seem to grasp, no matter how much I try and fail. Is there anyone on LW who started out with no talent for this, but managed to improve through hard work?

To call a LW meet-up, all you need to do is: 1. Announce it on here, with a time (a week or so in advance) and a location (somewhere where a group can gather and still hear one another; e.g. a quieter-end pizza place), 2. Show up yourself, with a sign that says "less wrong meet-up".

Any chance you might try? There seem to be a number of cool LW-ers from Moscow.

I'd add step 0: have Singulairty Institute members come for a long visit near you, thus serving as the impetus of the meetup :-)
