Review

Scott Alexander has called for people to organize a spring meetup, and this year, it will be held at Stoup Brewing in Capitol Hill, Seattle. I have made a reservation for two tables at Stoup Brewing, which is known for being one of the quietest bar spaces in the city. I will be wearing a shirt and a blue sweater, hopefully you’ll see the group when you arrive.

Stoup Brewing offers a selection of both beer and non-alcoholic drinks. While the venue does not serve food, you are welcome to bring your own. Additionally, you are encouraged to bring board games to enjoy with fellow attendees. In previous years, Stoup has provided board games for patrons to borrow, but the availability of these games can be inconsistent.

For those driving to the event, please be aware that there are a few parking garages nearby; however, free parking is unfortunately not available in the area.

Which dictator did you find the most interesting from the “Dictator Book Club” series?

Looks like we’ll have a small reimbursement budget for this meetup so there will be free Chipotle (chicken or vegan) available to the first ~20 attendees.
