Megameetup on December 13-15th, NYC
This winter, we'll be hosting a megameetup on December 13th-15th. This is the weekend of the Winter Solstice, a big event we're putting together the rationality, humanist and transhumanist communities of the area. (The Solstice celebration is on Saturday evening - if you'd like to attend, you should check out the kickstarter and back it. Seating is limited and tickets are sold in advance are $25).
Eight members of the New York Rationality community recently moved into a gorgeous house in Brooklyn. It's got 5500 square feet. The first floor, approximately 1800 square feet, has four areas that with sliding doors that can either be treated as a single, huge meetup space, or broken into smaller areas.
Also it has secret doors.
We have named it "Highgarden."
We're really looking forward to turning this into a genuine rationality community center. We have self improvement meetups every other Sunday (the next one is on the October 13th), and have other one-off events in the works.
Friday night and Saturday afternoon will primarily casual hangouts, before most of us head over to the Solstice event. On Sunday there will be a presentation on the current state of Effective Altruism. We're aiming to have other presentations as well but details are not finalized yet.
We have a large (but not unlimited) array of crash space, so if you'd like to spend Friday and/or Saturday night at Highgarden, you should let us know in advance.
Looking forward to seeing many of you there!

Oh wow, you basically live in the library from Myst.
This sounds awesome, I can't wait! What's the parking situation for people who are driving up?
We have a driveway! There is a limited number of cars that can fit, but you certainly get first dibs at a parking spot.
As per my choice I would say a house without library is like a ship without a radar !! To be honest I really love to read books and its like nothing without books. http://www.grifco.com.au/products/poultry
Is there a time on Sunday in mind for the EA presentation? I'd love to be there for it but our flight out is 8:15 PM.
There is not a specific time in mind, but I think there'll be 3-4 presentations or guided discussions, starting at 3:00, and I do want it to be only the earlier side. (I'm not sure if the EA presentation will be more presentation-like or guided-discussion-like)
Will Kim Dotcom be there?
...no? Probably?
