WHEN: Saturday, June 23rd 2012, 1 PM (as well as additional meetups the surrounding days)

WHERE: Central Park, New York, NY

The weekend of June 23rd, the New York Less Wrong community will be hosting a summer festival. Less Wrongers from around the world are invited to intend. Features include:

A Saturday of sun and fun in Central Park. (Unless rain is forecast, in which case this will be on Sunday).
Picnic Lunch. Share food and swap stories with Less Wrong folks. Engage in intellectual discussion while stimulating your monkey brain's desire for tribal bonding.
Compete in feats of strength and sport.
Singing and dancing.

While the main outdoor event will be on Saturday the 23rd, other meetups and parties will likely occur in surrounding days. There will almost certainly be a gatherings on Thursday the 21st and Friday the 22nd. More information will be available as we get a better headcount.

Let us know if you're thinking of coming, so that we can get an approximate headcount and plan logistics.

If you'll be in New York any length of time, you may want to join the New York mailing list, to learn about additional meetups.

I've posted on our mailing list to see if anyone from Toronto wants to come.

[-]Giles13y00

From the Toronto area, only endoself and me are coming as far as I know.

Thank you!

Crap. This is the same weekend as the minicamp Roger and (possibly) I will be attending. :-(

[-]Raemon13y20

Did not think to check for that. Crap indeed. I think at least one person has bought plane tickets already. But if several people would like to attend but can't due to minicamp, would be able to attend the following week, and say so within the next 24 hours, I may move it to the 30th (first talking it over with said person who bought plane tickets already)

I realize Maia mentioned this above, but I can't go if it's then.

[-]maia13y00

Well, my minicamp application is still up in the air... but if I do get in, I'm on record as a person who would not attend due to minicamp, and would if it were the 30th. (If I don't get in, I'm in either way.)

This is frustrating, but I think I'm going to have to go with the original date. I will miss Roger and (potentially) you, but there's almost certainly going to be people who can't make one date or the other and I think it's better to stick with the original plan.
