So, are we actually going to plan something?

Good question! I was hoping to have gotten more of a response by now. As I see it, here are our options:

  1. Friday evening, during the "Drinking Skeptically" event (8:00 pm). We could either meet at the same location (whatever that turns out to be), or arrange for an alternate LW-specific event somewhere else. (I'm not much of a drinker, personally, so it's pretty much a matter of indifference to me.)

  2. Saturday during the 12:00 pm (noon) lunch break, immediately following Eliezer's talk. This has the advantage that LW folks are particularly likely to be around at that time; unfortunately it has the disadvantage of being time-constrained (the "death" panel begins at 1:00 pm).

  3. Saturday during the 5:00 pm dinner break. Same disadvantage as above (next event at 6:00).

  4. Saturday evening after the day's talks are finished (i.e. 9 pm or later). (Perhaps a decent late-night dessert place?)

  5. Sunday, 12 pm lunch break.

  6. Sunday, after all the talks (6 pm or later).

Those attending should weigh in with what they prefer...

I prefer one of #2-#5, with #4 sounding like the most fun, and #2 sounding like the most convenient.

Okay, we'll go with the most fun.

See you there!
