Phoenix Meet Up Group?
I and many of my friends in Phoenix are frequent readers of Less Wrong. Is anyone else from the Metro Phoenix Area?

First Phoenix, AZ Less Wrong Meetup 4/17 from 12-2pm
7Apr 14, 2011
Jay is going to fill us in on his recent App Academy experiences.
Text or call 602 501 9420. We usually meet up in one of the meeting rooms in the sub-basement (yes, there is a basement to the basement) of Hayden library, so it can be hard to find the first time you try and meet up with us.
I think we need to put our money and investment where our mouths are on this. Either Less Wrong (or another centralized discussion platform) are very valuable and worth tens of thousands of dollars in investment and moderation, or they are not that important and not worth it. It seems that every time we have a conversation about Less Wrong and the importance of it, the problem is that we expect everyone to do things on a volunteer basis and things will just magically get going again. It seems like Less Wrong was going great back when there was active and constant investment in it by MIRI and CFAR, and once that investment stopped things collapsed.
Otherwise we are just in a situation like that of Jaguar with the cupholders, where everyone is posting on forums for 10 years about how we need cupholders, but there is no one whose actual, paid job is to get cupholders in the cars.
