http://lesswrong.com/lw/bc2/setting_up_lw_meetups_in_unlikely_places_positive/ motivated me to post this meetup on the off chance there are any LessWrongers in Cali, Colombia.

I'd be willing to share mine, if people were interested in the subject. It's long though.
I'm interested.

To like each other, sing and dance in synchrony
While I love the idea I think you're missing the problem that most of our in-group view themselves as people who don't dance.
I go out social dancing 2-5 times a week.
Wait a minute. We are restricted to the 16 chess pieces available to white, or can we use as many pieces as we like?
Or do you want to hint that one can solve this puzzle by generalization?
I'm fairly sure we're limited to 16 chess pieces available to white, otherwise the problem can be trivially solved with 64 queens.
In response to
A puzzle
So the set of pieces you can use is eight pawns, one queen, one kind, two bishops, two knights, and two rooks?
Can the bishops be placed in squares of the same colour?

Minicamps on Rationality and Awesomeness: May 11-13, June 22-24, and July 21-28
After talking to several people about meditation, I learned that there wasn't any funky mysticism inherent to meditation, just closely associated to meditation. Some people are trying to figure out if it can be used as a tool and are trying to figure out ways to experiment around it, etc.
Rather off-topic, but I'm very interested in rational meditation-advice: Did they suggest specific techniques of meditation like e.g. vipassana or did they recommend some particular books on meditation?

Jasen Murray suggested specific techniques and specific resources, which I unfortunately cannot remember (I was not that interested in that part of RBC).
Out of curiosity, what does the menu look like? Is it based around a specific, dare I say "rational" diet? Paleo, Bulletproof, Shangri-la?

The food at RBC was awesome, mostly due to a small number of attendees being very good cooks. Many of us also had similar fitness goals with regards to gaining muscle, so we had a 25 pound tub of protein, and cooked high-protein meals.
My diet has been nowhere near as good since leaving RBC.
Another question I realized is probably more relevant: What has been the median age for attendees of these events? Are they demographically young college age students, or what?

RBC was mostly young college age students (oldest participant was 29 years old if I recall correctly. I believe I was the first or second youngest at 21). The median age for the minicamps was probably a bit higher, but not substantially so.
