I said Princeton above, since it’s my mailing address (and recognizable to non-locals.) Close enough, I guess, and anyway I’ve recently been spending most of my time (here) in Frist.
I just caught this when I saw Silas post in the sidebar. I don’t know if you’re still around LW, but I live in Richardson as well, although I plan to move to the Bay Area soon.
Should we also be posting how mobile we are? I rely on the bus system and the goodwill of my roommate to get around. I couldn’t attend an event in, say, Boston unless there was carpooling.
Medford, MA. Enjoyed the OB meetup on the MIT campus, which was convenient since I work across the street. I’d be up to renting a car and driving to Amherst or New Hampshire for a meetup on a weekend, especially if there was time for hiking.
Hey there. I think our current closest regular meetup is at Tortuga in Mountain View, which is to say—miles away from you. If you’re inclined to try hosting your own meetup, I strongly suspect you’d at least hear from some UCSC folk.
I’m having some trouble responding to your PM, so:
I’m working for prof Richman, though more “trying to get up to speed” than “working” right at the moment. I just had Nelson for my particle class the last two quarters—it was a lot of fun.
So I was thinking if Hal was up for it the three of us could grab some dinner in the next week or so—that work for you?
