I’m new to Less Wrong and still figuring out the proper etiquette, so I was hoping somebody could help me on this. Are you supposed to contact someone, or RSVP, to attend one of the regular meetings, or do you just show up? Thanks.
It would be nice to make someone aware that you’re coming, but it is not necessary. If the meetup is new or irregular I would strongly suggest you PM the organiser, or better yet reply on the originating post. If the meetings are regular and self sustaining enough that they no longer advertise themselves except by being in the wiki or in the consolidated meetup post. Saying you’re coming is still unlikely to hurt, and if it’s in a private residence it’s an even better idea.

Great, thanks for the information.
