Houston Hackerspace Meetup : Saturday June 4, 2:00PM

The third meeting of the Houston Less Wrong group will be this coming Saturday at TX/RX Labs at 2:00PM. We had some success last time, with Orange Cat (I apologize if I got the formatting of your handle wrong) showing up during the meeting time, and another prospective member who showed up earlier in the day. Hopefully Saturday will be easier for some people.
We have decided to do a reading group on Jayne's "Probability Theory: The Logic of Science". We're still knocking around the reading schedule, so if you want to get involved, let me know. We will hopefully be doing other things as well, but I'll start scheduling those as we get more interest.
Pizza or prepared food are a possibility, if people show up hungry. We have a full kitchen in the hackerspace.

This is the set of buildings that the hackerspace is in. It's difficult to see our front from this angle - unfortunately google maps decided to map everything but our little section of commerce street. It's near where the white truck and red motorcycle are. Currently, there is an old military vehicle and generator in front.

And this is the empty lot that you can park in if all the nearby marked spots are taken..

Another meeting at the TX/RX hackerspace will happen on Sunday, May 29th at 5PM. Since we had no attendance last week,it will again be a meet and greet and planning for future activities. Pizza can and will be ordered if people show up.
I understand many of the people who have expressed interest in a Houston meet up find this to be an inconvenient time. Unfortunately, my Saturday and early Sunday have been consumed by other plans this week. If this is a bad time for you, I plan to have a meetup the Saturday after next in the early afternoon. If that is usually more convenient for you, let me know, and I can decide how to structure future scheduling.

Goals:
In general, to become more awesome. In specific, to learn about cognitive biases as a group, figure out how to become less wrong, and have fun while doing it. We also may experiment with integrating a hackerspace, which already has several lesswrongians, into the group. The first meeting will mostly be a meet and greet to establish future directions, with perhaps a video lecture and discussion on cognitive biases depending on the time constraints of the people who come. The door to the building will have a sign marked Less Wrong, and the nearby empty lot can be used for parking.
Dvorak, a thus far much more active member in the community, will be providing me with support in organizing the group.
Edit:
There will be pizza. Also, a pictoral view
