October 2010 Southern California Meetup

6 jimmy 18 October 2010 09:28PM

We're having the third SoCal LessWrong meetup this Saturday, the 23rd. It'll be held at this IHOP in Irvine, from 1PM to 8PM, in the upstairs meeting area.

For those that haven't yet come, the last two were quite successful bringing 13 and 16 people respectively, and there was plenty of intelligent and friendly discussion.

Make sure to comment if you have suggestions for how to improve on the last one, if you can give/need a ride, or just to say you're coming.

September 2010 Southern California Meetup

The second LessWrong meetup for Southern California will happen on Saturday September 25th, 2010!  The meetup will start at 1PM and probably run for 4 or 5 hours in the Platt Campus Center of Harvey Mudd College.  Thanks are due to the Harvey Mudd Future Tech Club for the location.

We will be meeting in a conference room with tables, chairs, whiteboards, and a projector.  Based on the July SoCal LW Meetup we discovered that the most interesting thing was to have small group conversations but that turned out to be tricky in a pub.  This time we're optimizing for conversation, but pizza will almost assuredly be ordered and there will be free cookies and soda!

July 2010 Southern California Meetup

8 JenniferRM 07 July 2010 07:54PM

There will be a meetup for people from lesswrong in Los Angeles, on Friday July 9th, 2010 at 3PM.  Roundtrip carpooling from San Diego is definitely available and other carpooling options may develop.  The time and location are designed to make it possible for people from lesswrong to get together and talk.  Later, anyone interested should be able to walk to the first meeting of the LA Chapter of the SENS Foundation where Aubrey de Grey will be attending.  It should be a good time if you can make it!  See below the cut for more details.
