Meetup : April Atlanta Meetup! Friday, April 19th
Discussion article for the meetup : April Atlanta Meetup! Friday, April 19th WHEN: 19 April 2013 07:00:00PM (-0400) WHERE: 1314 Hosea L Williams Drive NE, Atlanta, GA 30317 Note: The date for this meetup was previously incorrect. The correct date is Friday, April 19th. This meetup will focus on instrumental rationality and life-hacking skills. If you are a quiet, introverted person who hasn't yet made the leap from online-Lesswrong to Lesswrong-in-the-flesh, and you feel intimidated or worried that you'll feel out of place at our meetup, worry no more! Give it a shot this month and see what you think. :) If you're an energetic, outgoing person and you're worried that rationalist fraternizing might prove pedantic or tedious, I have some truly lovely people I'd like to introduce you to! We have rapid-fire, large group discussions--and intimate, small group discussions. We have time to reflect quietly on what we are learning--and time to physically express our excitement by bouncing around like bubble balls in a hopper. We have large group, bawdy games (Operant conditioning or Cards Against Humanity, anyone?)-- and quiet, relaxing, noncompetitive games (cooperative Set is my favorite! And have you tried Aquarius?). Whatever your taste for socializing, there's a niche in ATLesswrong for you. =D Agenda * Mini-presentations. Anyone is invited to give a mini-presentation on a topic of their choice! A whiteboard is available if needed. * What went down at Teens & Twenties 4. We will give a short summary of the recent Teens and Twenties 4 cryonics conference for those interested in hearing more. * Soylent samples! For those interested in life-hacking via DIY meal-replacement drinks. * Biased board gaming. There was a lot of interest last time in this idea, so we're making it happen. * Post-meetup social time! Games, cuddling, kittens! No, seriously, there will be KITTENS.
