I have been thinking about a Seattle meet up for a while, as I think I have seen a few others here from the area. I recall seeing another poster say that they were from the University of Washington. (I'm an undergrad there)
I had a few questions: First off, I don't have enough karma to create a top-level post. Is the discussion board appropriate or can we figure out something for a top-level?
I might recall an old thread on "how to run a Lesswrong meetup" but I can't find it---did this exist?
What have been your favorite low-preparation activities and discussions?
Edit: Ok, I'm going to check up on booking a classroom at the UW, unless somebody has an appropriate restaurant they would recommend. Once I get everything figured out I'll make a post, but I'm thinking Saturday or Sunday afternoon before Valentine's day.
YES YES YES! Do it! I predict it will be very well attended.
Seattle has the most LW readers of any city in the world without a meet-up!
Visits to LW the past year / Meetup
11000+ Visitors
10000+ Visitors
9000+ Visitors
8000+ Visitors
7000+ Visitors
6000+ Visitors
5000+ Visitors
4000+ Visitors
EDIT: Added 13-50, these are total yearly visitors, not hits
All these cities had at least 500 unique visitors the last month. I would be confident starting a meetup anywhere with over 5000 visitors / year... all of which have at least half the readership of cities that already support meetups now. Other cities that look promising but are just on the borderline are Oslo, Hong Kong, and Princeton.
Hmmm - looks like I should start up a Sydney meetup when I go back next year. Or perhaps somebody else will start one up for me and I can transition smoothly ;)
