At present, the LessWrong presence in Brisbane is essentially non-existent. We have Brisbane Skeptics in the Pub, and that's the closest you can get. During the most recent Australia-wide LessWrong hangout, Nick Wolf of Melbourne and Eliot Redelman of Sydney persuaded me to create a Facebook group for LessWrong in Brisbane. This post is solely to announce that.

The group can be found here.

Ideally a meetup will occur once more than the small handful currently on the group have joined.

The new Canberra meetup has spurred me on to think about creating a Brisbane, Australia meetup for LessWrong. I would have posted this in the open thread, but this is significantly more likely to be seen by any potential attendees.

This post is obviously to see who, if anyone, would be wanting to attend a LessWrong meetup if one was to be started in Brisbane. I'm also curious to see how many LessWrongers also attend things like Brisbane Skeptics in the Pub (at the Plough Inn) or are members of UQ Skeptics etc (and if those people would be interested in a dedicated LW meetup nonetheless).

Comment away, Brisbane-ites!
