I'm looking for a ride down from Cache County. Either way good luck

Salt Lake is quite a drive for me, but I can try and make it down for one.

What are the chances we can find a place mid way between SLC/Logan to get a meetup until we can grow things enough to need two seperate groups, maybe somewhere between layton and ogden.

(contemplates drive) We'd have to get into the habit of REALLY making these meetups count. I don't think I can justify an hour drive just to geek out over a couple of blog posts and the latest chapter of HPMoR. Once or twice maybe, just because I'm really sick of not being able to talk about this stuff without bending over backwards to cross inferential differences, but I don't trust that motivation to last very long. I know Atheists of Utah already meets on Sundays in Ogden, at someplace called Grounds for Coffee. I'd never considered going to that before because of the drive, but it may be worth looking into if we're in the area.

Did anything wind up happening with this?

We met up on the 18th, and Mezik, and I and a few friends who were interested spent the afternoon talking about spaceflight, and the likely hood of us living to be able to visit other planets. With only three of us there for the meetup not much happens, but we are planning another one for next month, and will keep holding them so they become a regular event on campus.

Edit: Removed my previous reply and reported on the events of the meetup.

Would there be any interest in holding these further south? I'm in downtown SLC, without a car, but am otherwise interested.

I agree whole heartedly, I wound up here from such a link on a friends blog.

I wonder if the LW community could become a kind of civil and rational "Anonymous" Imagine a force devoted to raising the water level, in a polite civil tone, all over the Internet. Even taking 10-20 min a day to take one of these actions, would add up over time. A polite response that is constructive(I recall seeing a post on the topic of saying "you're wrong" in a polite way) manner with a link to a useful article.

I created an account just to upvote this. What would be the next step? Can people who feel knowledgeable enough just...start? And let everyone know how it goes?

I've found that for men, the style articles at http://artofmanliness.com/category/dress-grooming/ are an excellent resource, the authors of them often go out of the way to explain why particular choices are appropriate for particular situations.
