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'.
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!
