St. Louis, Missouri Meetup—now happening every week!
I got inspired by the NY meetup post by Cosmos, and I’d love to get a recurring meetup started in St. Louis.
Where: Kayak Coffee at Skinker and Forest Park Parkway, near Washington University.
When: Every Tuesday from 6-8 PM, until and including May 3, 2011 and starting again in September 2011. I won’t be in St. Louis for the summer, though of course if enough people will be around the meetups will continue without me.
What: Meet each other and share our thoughts/discoveries on subjects related to LW and/or transhumanism, whatever you find interesting. I’m personally interested in the instrumental value of rationality, philosophy, self-improvement, life hacking, futurism.
I want to use rationality to win more often, and to help the people around me win more often. Let’s see where it goes!
I’ll make a sign that says ‘Less Wrong’. RSVP here—I looking forward to meeting you.
Edit: I meant March, not May.
Update: Our inaugural meetup was excellent. One person RSVP’d and didn’t show up, but four others didn’t RSVP and did show up. Future meetups are being planned, so leave a comment or message me if you want to get involved.
Update two: We’re now meeting every week—I’ve updated the time to reflect our recurring time. Definitely send me a message if you want to come!
May or March?
March. Good catch.
I’ll be there
Is this group still active in St. Louis? I’m new to LW and would like to participate in a group doing a systematic study of the sequences. Anybody out there?
Thanks again for organizing this—checking in here as a followup. This is Peter; in case my handwriting was illegible, my email address is my username as above at loter.org.
Good luck with this! If you actually meant May, I might be able to come.
Same here. I’m from the StL area, but I go to school in Iowa, and can rarely get away for a weekend. If these keep going, let me know, I might be able to make it to one!
Alright, definitely. Unfortunately, since I’m from elsewhere and go to school in St. Louis, I probably won’t be around too far into May! But perhaps there’s overlap. I will let you both know.
