Lot of DC area people in this thread, it seems. Are you near enough that a plug for the DC LessWrong meetup would make sense? If so: consider attending your local DC LessWrong meetup, because we are cool and you are probably cool.
Also, which swing dances do you tend to go to? I have gotten part of our group together to go to the one on U St. a few times.
I’ve noted this before, but I’ll repeat it here: If the DC meetup could even occasionally occur on a Saturday afternoon instead of a Sunday afternoon, then I would probably attend. But you’ve coordinated on a time that never works for me. It’s probably advantageous to always meet at the same time from the standpoint of consistency of attendance by the same people, but if you want to expand the number of people attending at least irregularly, variability in time would likely work better.
Thanks for the feedback! I’ll keep this in mind. We sometimes have discussions about changing the structure of meetups, and doing regularly-scheduled day changes might be something to talk about.
I also might be setting up a hiking meetup on a Saturday sometime in the near future; is that something you’d be interested in?
Possibly, but since that would presumably be a longer undertaking, I would need some advance notice to arrange childcare. (Also, if you’re referring to the very near future—I will be away Memorial Day weekend.)
I would like to go to a meetup, but I’m usually out of town on the weekends. One of these days, I’ll make it out :)
I usually go to the dances in Baltimore on either Monday or Friday night, and head to DC to dance blues on Wednesday or Thursday. Every now and then I’ve gone to the swing dance in DC on Tuesday nights (I think that’s the one on U. St. called Jam Cellar). There’s actually a really big swing dance event this weekend in DC so I’ll be around for that.

That’s an amazing plug for a meetup.
