Meetup for Atlanta, Georgia.
Neither the title nor even the actual announcement naming the location? Seriously… ?
Thank you for pointing this out. I will adjust the title; it was just a mistake that I omitted the Atlanta part. We are still deciding on a location as our usual host is out of town. My apologies for the confusion!
I would very much like to attend this, having never attended a meetup before. However, I am currently a minor who lacks transportation ability and have had little luck convincing my guardians to drive me to it. Is there anybody who is attending and is coming from the Birmingham, AL area who would be willing to drive me? I am willing to pay for the service.
Raiden, let's talk on IM and see if we can figure out a way to get you there. I'm not sure we have any members coming from AL, but there may be bus options we can explore. IM me on gchat at amidstawoken@gmail.com. -Katie
Ok guys, the first step is exactly what Rudi posted. Go here: http://rudihoffman.com/form_request.html and fill out the form. :)
Excellent idea. Please report back how it went, anything you learn about what works well. Other groups may want to try this.
Definitely! I will write up a summary and what I learned for the LW-organizers mailing group, if nothing else.
If we were bid $5K for the top dozen improvements by a credible source, we'd take it, but no such bid has ever occurred. I think you underestimate the cost.
Could I get a quick list of those top dozen improvements, so I can estimate the hourly rate for a $5k pay, and then forward that on to my extremely talented programmer fiance (who is also a LWer)?
Hi guys! For those in our meetup group but not on facebook, let me draw your attention to some of the Lesswrong articles specifically mentioned last night:
http://lesswrong.com/lw/bq0/be_happier/ This one has a high fact to word count ratio, so lots of bang for you buck.
http://lesswrong.com/lw/3nn/scientific_selfhelp_the_state_of_our_knowledge This one may send you into hyperlink overload. Ooof!
http://lesswrong.com/lw/4su/how_to_be_happy/
http://lesswrong.com/lw/9v/beware_of_otheroptimizing/
Enjoy, and be happy!
If this opportunity ever comes around again, I want to do this! Female-mathy-transhumanist-educator sums up a lot of me. I organize the still-fledgling Atlanta LessWrong meetups, and I want to bring them back some memes from a highly concentrated rationalist community!
Actually, the Atlanta Lesswrong Meetup is Friday, April 19th at 7PM (NOT the 22nd April date above). Totally my mistake, and I hope everyone can still make it!

Aww, I would love to come, but can't quite afford plane tickets on short notice. Do you think the next one could be planned more than 3 months in advance, so we could set out alerts for cheap tickets? And here's positive feedback for doing this at all, because it's a big undertaking, and fantastic for our community world-wide! Hurray!
