Uhh, guys. Went there; there were no markings other than the house number, and nobody responded to knocks or the bell. Roseti 1380.

Going to be slightly late, sorry.

Great timing. Coincides well.

So, it was a good time. The 4 year old lead us in a discussion of biomorphic freedom (she wants wings).

That'll be interesting. Knock yourself out. :)

Hopefully it won't be busy; also I'll have a green sign with LW on it for everyone to recognize.

I don't have the karma for this yet. Would you be so kind as to add it?

Hi. Let's make this work.

Suggested discussion topics would be:

• What do we want this group to do? Rationality practice? Skill sharing? Mastermind group?
• Acquiring guinea pigs for the furtherance of mad science (testing Center for Modern Rationality material)
• Fun - what it is and how to have almost more of it than

Indeed. I despise the culture of cheez.

Hi, I'm a long-time reader of Eliezer's various scribblings and I'm interested in getting a meetup group going in Minneapolis after we've had a few false starts. This is the post I'm trying to gather the karma to enable:

Thank you; am aware of the danger of requesting karma. I figure it's worth it for the purpose intended.

I've now posted there as well.

I'm ~1/3 of the way there folks. Next 10 voters get a free funny cat picture. Limited time offer.

I don't have the karma to post this regularly. Grant me karma, my fellows.

Fund it.

I think LW city-specific posts should we used, rather than requiring a visit to an outside site, this being a good example:

http://lesswrong.com/meetups/6v

However, the name of the location should be posted as well as its address; and some clearly visible notifier should be available at the table, if it's in public.

Squires and I had a chat for a couple hours and we think that, next time, the organizer should spam the table with paperclips; would make it more obvious who's who. I saw you in the corner with a red shirt, but you were far from any door, of which there were three. :)

On a more serious note, let's do somewhere more central next time. South Minneapolis/Edina would be better. I'm coming from NE.

Likewise.

Don't know how I missed that, but I'm in for this one. I have two days to catch up on months of LW posts or I'll be hopelessly outdated.

I'm parking northwest of Dinkytown and walking; it's a nice area.

Unfortunately, not that many, I'd say.

I'd attend; could be fun.

How about the Purple Onion? They have comfortable, wingback chairs. :)
