So, are we actually going to plan something? I’ll be arriving Friday night and leaving Sunday night, so Saturday is probably the best day for me. Hopefully someone who knows the city can suggest a place?
Good question! I was hoping to have gotten more of a response by now. As I see it, here are our options:
Friday evening, during the “Drinking Skeptically” event (8:00 pm). We could either meet at the same location (whatever that turns out to be), or arrange for an alternate LW-specific event somewhere else. (I’m not much of a drinker, personally, so it’s pretty much a matter of indifference to me.)
Saturday during the 12:00 pm (noon) lunch break, immediately following Eliezer’s talk. This has the advantage that LW folks are particularly likely to be around at that time; unfortunately it has the disadvantage of being time-constrained (the “death” panel begins at 1:00 pm).
Saturday during the 5:00 pm dinner break. Same disadvantage as above (next event at 6:00).
Saturday evening after the day’s talks are finished (i.e. 9 pm or later). (Perhaps a decent late-night dessert place?)
Sunday, 12 pm lunch break.
Sunday, after all the talks (6 pm or later).
Those attending should weigh in with what they prefer...

I prefer one of #2-#5, with #4 sounding like the most fun, and #2 sounding like the most convenient.
Okay, we’ll go with the most fun.
See you there!
