Assuming that the forecast of inclement weather[1] holds, we will meet at the Kogod Courtyard of the National Portrait Gallery (8th and F Sts or 8th and G Sts NW, go straight past the information desk from either entrance) for a brief introduction to the idea of confirmation bias. We will congregate in the courtyard between 3:00 and 3:30 p.m., and the introduction to confirmation bias should run from 3:30 to about 4:00. The remainder of the meetup will be left open for unstructured discussion and socializing.
If we discover that the weather is likely to be fair, an announcement will be made Saturday night or Sunday morning via the Less Wrong DC Google Group—lesswrong-dc@googlegroups.com—moving the meetup to the Navy Memorial (south on 8th St from the Portrait Gallery, between D St and Pennsylvania Ave) to play the singing game ”Encore”. Again, we plan to congregate between 3:00 and 3:30 p.m. In this case, the game will start at 3:30 and likely conclude between 5 and 6.
