I'll be wearing a black t-shirt that says "If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong." I promise to be there until at least 15:00. Venue has food and coffee. See also https://www.facebook.com/events/824097430998639/.

Come match wits against others who value believing the truth and acting effectively to achieve their goals! Now revived after I spent 2.5 months in Switzerland and 4 months being super busy moving into my new house.
You can see my game collection here; please bring anything else you'd like to play.
I have a cat. Please let me know if you're allergic and need me to put her upstairs.
RSVP here or by sending me a private message (but don't not show up because you didn't RSVP, I just want a rough idea of the number of attendees). The door should be unlocked and there should be a sign up when you arrive; if not, call or text (412) 657-1395 when you get here. I intend to hold these every 2-3 weeks, so watch this space!
Also, if transportation is an issue, please post a comment or send me a PM. I'm on the bus line, I might be able to pick a small number of people up, or maybe a fellow attendee can give you a ride.

Need some psychology advice
I started going out with a fantastic girl a couple of weeks ago. Everything is great, except that whenever I've sent her a text message or email requesting something and haven't received a response yet, I experience significant dysphoric anxiety, fearing that her response will be not just "no" but "no and I don't want to date you any more". This is due to brain chemistry or personal history, take your pick—either seems like a possible explanation to me. But there's certainly no evidence supporting the idea that this is likely to happen, nor is the anxiety helping me prevent it or helping me in any other way.
Does anyone have evidence-based advice, or pointers to same, on dealing with this kind of issue? It is the only splotch on what have otherwise been the best two weeks of my life.

You can see my game collection here; please bring anything else you'd like to play. We can order food and go as late as 19:00. If I get paged I may have to deal with an emergency (from home, using my laptop), but if that doesn't bother you, it doesn't bother me. I have a cat. Please let me know if you're allergic and need me to put her upstairs. RSVP here or by sending me a private message (but don't not show up because you didn't RSVP, I just want a rough idea of the number of attendees). Ring the bell, knock, or call or text (412) 657-1395 to get in when you get there.
I intend to hold meetups every 2-3 weeks, so watch this space! Please let me know if you'd like to run some other kind of meetup (discussion group, presentation) at my house. I am partial to the location since I'm frequently on call and unable to go anywhere.

I will be hosting board games on some Sundays. Each event will be announced separately, since the schedule will be a bit irregular; the first event will be this Sunday. I only have 5 games (Bohnanza, Citadels, Acquire, Illuminati, and Hacker), so please bring anything you'd like to play. We can order food and go as late as 19:00. If I get paged I may have to deal with an emergency (from home, using my laptop), but if that doesn't bother you, it doesn't bother me.
Allergy warning: I have a cat. I can put her upstairs on request, but if you have a cat allergy you might want to take some meds. If you decide not to come because you have a severe cat allergy, please tell me.

Welcome to the third Pittsburgh meetup of the semester, apparently!
I can't go anywhere next week because I'm on call, but I'd love to have you come over to my house and play some board games. I only have 4 games (Bohnanza, Citadels, Acquire, and Hacker), so please bring anything you'd like to play. We can order food and go more or less as late as we'd like. If I get paged I may have to deal with an emergency (from home, using my laptop), but if that doesn't bother you, it doesn't bother me.
Allergy warning: I have a cat. I can put her upstairs, but if you have a cat allergy you might want to take some meds. If you decide not to come because you have a severe cat allergy, please tell me, as this will factor into how appropriate a venue I consider my house to be in the future.
RSVP here or by sending me a private message (but don't not show up because you didn't RSVP, I just want a rough idea of the number of attendees). Ring the bell, knock, or call or text (412) 657-1395 to get in when you get there.
