Our more-or-less trimonthly Ann Arbor + Detroit area meetup. Myself and Ozy will be hosting, and Swimmer963 will be visiting from Canada.
No particular topic, but bring games and discussion topics as they interest you.
I'd like to go, but at present I don't have any way of getting there. Would anyone be willing to give me a ride like last time?
I live about 2 hours away and was thinking I might like to come, but I'm not real familiar with how LW meetups work. Are they open to pretty much anyone (i.e. is it a problem that I'm just a lurker and don't really know anyone)? Anything in particular I have to do to sign up? How long do the meetups usually last?
On the Slate Star Codex announcement Scott (Yvain) said, "If you're reading this, you're invited", so all are welcome. There are usually one or more lurkers/people who don't really know anyone. No sign-up necessary.
There is no hard time limit, but it seems like previous ones have often lasted like three hours or more if I remember correctly. But you can leave (or arrive) at any time.
I hope to see you (and blumsha) there!
I just discovered that this is happening. I intend to attend. DiamondSoul, if you come too we can be n00bs together :) .
n00bs UNITE! :D
