Going to be slightly late, sorry.

Great timing. Coincides well.

So, it was a good time. The 4 year old lead us in a discussion of biomorphic freedom (she wants wings).

That'll be interesting. Knock yourself out. :)

Hopefully it won't be busy; also I'll have a green sign with LW on it for everyone to recognize.

I don't have the karma for this yet. Would you be so kind as to add it?

Meetup: Twin Cities, MN (for real this time)

• THE TIME: 15 April 2012 01:00:00PM (-0600)
• THE PLACE: Purple Onion Coffeeshop, 1301 University Avenue Southeast, Minneapolis, MN

Hi. Let's make this work.

Suggested discussion topics would be:

• What do we want this group to do? Rationality practice? Skill sharing? Mastermind group?
• Acquiring guinea pigs for the furtherance of mad science (testing Center for Modern Rationality material)
• Fun - what it is and how to have almost more of it than you can handle

If you'd like to suggest a location closer to you or a different time, please comment to that effect. If you know a good coffeeshop with ample seating in Uptown or South Minneapolis, we could meet there instead. Also comment if you'd like to carpool.

If you're even slightly interested in this, please join up or at least comment.

Folks, let's hang out and take it from there.

I'd like one with no misspellings, please.

Hi, I'm a long-time reader of Eliezer's various scribblings and I'm interested in getting a meetup group going in Minneapolis after we've had a few false starts. This is the post I'm trying to gather the karma to enable:

I'm a concert pianist and freelance computer guy for small businesses. My hobbies include indie art games and reverse-trolling A.T.Murray/Mentifex on AGI-list. Cheers.

Hi Helloses! I'm also new, so I'm not too sure of community norms, but you might have wanted to post in the welcome thread where first comments are usually voted up a few points by other users on this site and allow you to ~integrate~ into the community in a pop and fun manner*.

I've voted your post up already so you're halfway there! Although you might not want to make a habit of asking for karma.

• Neither pop nor fun is guaranteed.

I don't have the karma to post this regularly. Grant me karma, my fellows.
