There are few things that could have made me miss this meetup, but I have an exam that day that starts at 13:30 :-(
When I'm done, I'll send a message to check if it's still worth dropping by.

I hope you can make it. I'll do my best to stay entertaining long enough for you to come :)
Thanks for setting this up, Kaj! Looking forward to it!
Looking forward to meeting you all! See you on Sunday.
Looking forward to spending time with LW Tel Aviv!
Hello Europe! I will be visiting Switzerland and Sweden in the next few days and I'd love to get together with any and all interested LWers in the area.
Switzerland: St. Gallen- May 5 Basel- May 6 Bern-May 7
Sweden: Gothenburg-May 8 Stockholm -May 9 and 10
I'd love to do a CfAR class, join a meet up, get together socially or organize a comfort zone expansion outing (CoZE)!
Please email me if you are in any of those places and you'd like to connect! (if you are in a place nearby and you'd like me to try and visit, please let me know. I'm sure we can work something out.)
Also, if you have a meetup group/mailing list of people in those areas who may want to connect, please pass the message along.
I had an amazing time getting to know the group in Berlin and I'm feeling very inspired by the incredible people in the greater LW community!

Warmly, Cat
PS if anyone knows of good places to meet in those cities (or better yet is willing to host a gathering) please do let me know. Having a local person propose a meeting place is far more likely to be successful than my internet guess.
PPS If anyone has a couch to offer for the night it'd be greatly appreciated email: cat@appliedrationality.org
Hello everyone!
Thank you so much for the warm welcome and endorsements! I'm not certain I can live up to the awesomeness people have painted me with but I'll do my best to make you all proud :)
The past few weeks have been a mad dash to get plans settled and travel arrangements set. I'll do my best to respond to all the kind invitations (I'm sorry if I've had delayed responses, I'm wading through emails as you read this). My itinerary is set for the first few weeks of my trip. My plans after May 15 are uncertain as we haven't decided if I'll be returning to San Francisco to teach at a CFAR rationality weekend seminar or if I'll be continuing on my Europe visits. I will post my plans as soon as they're settled.
My itinerary today-May 15 are as follows: Edinburgh: April 30-May 1 Oxford: May 1-May 3 Berlin May 3-May 4 Switzerland (St. Gallen and Bern) May 5 -May 7 Sweden (Gothenburg and Stockholm) May 8-May 11 London May 11- May13 Oxford May 13- May15
~possibly returning to San Francisco~ ...if not
Austria (Vienna and Bratislava) May 17-May 21
After Austria I'm working out my schedule. Places that I'm likely to visit if my trip is extended are: Russia (Moscow, St. Petersburg) Brussels Frankfurt Amsterdam Helsinki Copenhagen Riga Paris Madrid Dublin Cambridge Tel Aviv (not Europe, I know, but closer to Europe than America) If I haven't listed your place and you'd like me to come, please email me with preferred dates and I'll add you to the scheduling labyrinth! If I have listed your place and you'd like to meet, please email me with preferred dates, too.
I'm available for (and very interested in) meeting for meals, coffee or any other social-type interaction (1 on 1 or groups, all welcome). If you'd like to get together please email me and I'll slot you in for a visit. The rumours of my friendliness are true. I love meeting and getting to know people and it's hard for me to think of many people I don't like/get along with.

Can she publish/link to her itenerary once it's decided upon? That way the lurkers can come out of the woodwork and offer couches, cruises and companionship.
I'll happily publish my itinerary.
Cat, we would like you to come to a meetup in Vienna, on May 18th!
Also, if you could also visit Bratislava, we can choose the day of Bratislava meetup to be convenient for you. (Bratislava is much lower priority than Vienna, because the community here is very small, but if you come to this part of the planet, Bratislava is one hour by bus from Vienna.)
We can provide you a couch, too. (We = Viliam and Barbara from July Rationality Minicamp.)
I'd love to visit the May 18th meet up in Vienna (I noticed you're speaking at it, I'm looking forward to that!) My plans post May 15 are still a little uncertain, but as long as I'm in Europe during that time you can expect me to come visit :)

Wanted to let everyone know that I will be an hour late because of train complications ('m arriving from Frankfurt today). Hope to see you all soon. Cat
