Seattle, WA - Less Wrong Meetup - Sunday February 20th, 2:00 PM
Hello Seattle area Less Wrongers! I know there has been some loose discussion about a Seattle area meet-up, but as far as I know we have never pulled the trigger. Now is the time!
Let's meet up on Sunday, Feb 20th, at 2:00 PM at the Elysian Pub!
- Why the Elysian? I thought this was a good compromise location for west & east siders. Looks farther away from university than I thought. I know that other types of meet-ups have gone there and done well. Suggestions for other pubs near the university would be great, but barring a superior suggestion we'll do it here.
- Why a Sunday afternoon? People are unlikely to have outstanding commitments. We can always find a different time for future meet-ups. Also, the pub shouldn't be too loud.
- What should I bring? Yourself and your brain and anything you want to discuss. The goal of this meet-up is to facilitate social interaction among Less Wrongers in the area.
- I live on the east side, why is this in Seattle? The assumption is that there will be students who want to attend. If we have a large number of east siders who wish to attend, we can always alternate west and east side meet-ups. I live in Kirkland, so I understand the concern.
My name is Brandon. I have long hair. I will bring a sign that says Less Wrong Meetup. Find me and say hello!

During-meetup report: is the meetup still on? Brandon and his sign aren't here, and I don't see a likely group. The waitress had no idea who I was asking about.
Two different baby showers, though. I could join one of those instead.
Update: located one other LWer. We talked about the sequences and whatnot for an hour; then I had to go. On my way out discovered the table with five more folks.
Lesson for next meetup: bigger sign.
I posted below. I got sick with the flu this week and have been in bed. I wasn't in any condition to go. :(
That was fun. I am now no longer a lurker. Sorry for the bifurcation jpet & other.
Turns out I won't be able to make tomorrow's meet-up. I tested positive for Influenza-A on Wednesday and have been down with the fever all week. My fever ended, but I'm supposed to wait 24 hours before I can have outside contacts...and I still feel terrible. Please post an after-action report if you attend the meetup. I wish I could be there.
Also note that VillageReach is having a Jeopardy watching party on February 16th in Seattle. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150128818823923&set=a.10150128818818923.323289.103205113922
Hey! Thank you very much for bringing this together. I'm looking forward to it!
I don't eat out very much but most of the restaurants and pubs next to UW can be pretty busy. Probably less so on Sundays. The location works fine for me.
A couple of weeks ago I sent the following PM to the organizer, BrandonReinhart, which I'll go ahead and post here since it turns out he won't be attending:
If I'm not out of town I'll be there.
20 year old here. It's both caught me as a pleasant surprise and a quickly proceeding let-down to see a Seattle meetup, then see that it's at a pub. End of March is the big two one for me, making this a genuine let-down.
I would like to propose an alternate location to accommodate myself and any other under-21's who are interested.
Cafe Allegro at 4214 University Way Northeast has a secluded back room as well as an upstairs/rooftop area and some damned good coffee. Additionally, it is easy to get to and is a neat place I find worth pushing business through.
Any thoughts?
TY for organizing this!
The pub is all ages before 11pm http://www.elysianbrewing.com/elysian.html. Scroll down for the section 'minors'.
I may or may not come, depending on how things go (I'm a student and have an intense load, but this might be worth it).
Great! I'll be there. Thanks a lot for putting this together. I suggest sticking to the announced place this time.
I personally like the Big Time Brewery on the Ave (http://www.bigtimebrewery.com/). I like the pizza there.
If I can manage it, I'll try to attend. This is a vibrant, interesting community.
I may actually be up for this. East sider here, but the current location is workable.
Sounds fun! I already have plans that weekend, but I think I can work around them. Thanks for setting this up.
Count me in.
Elysian Pub is a good spot. Conveniently located too, as far as I am concerned.
Of course, it turns out I'll be in London on that day...
