SSC Meetup

[Richard Korzekwa]

Do we want to do anything special for the first meetup that happens after Scott posts the Slate Star Codex meetup list? At a minimum, we should put a little more effort into ensuring that someone is there on time with the sign, and expect there to be new people, who might be more familiar with SSC than with LW. We might also want to designate it as a 'Welcome SSC Readers!' edition, or anything else that might make it clear that nobody's imposing on our meetup if they haven't read LessWrong. Based on the "week or so" timeline, it sounds like it will be the April 8th meetup.

I agree on all counts. It might also help if we post a bit of information on what to expect -  less uncertainty will make people more likely to show up.

Stuff like it's pretty informal, there are usually about 5 of us, there's no set end time and people come and go throughout although there are often people still there at 4:00, there's no set adjenda, we often don't even talk about rationality, it's mostly just a way to hang out with people with similar interests 

I think Alex already posted some of that type of info to the ssc comments.

Do you guys usually have a meal during the meetup, or just coffee, or what? Basically I want to know if I should eat and caffeinate beforehand or with the group.

[Richard Korzekwa]

I'd say a majority of us eats lunch at the meetup. There's good food, both prepared and normal grocery store stuff, and coffee (or energy drinks or whatever) available there.
