Hello and Happy Belated New Year! After the December announcement revealed that there were many residents of Salt Lake City who were also Less Wrongers, it is time for a Meetup!
It will take place next Sunday the 22nd at 3:00 pm.
The venue is Mestizo Coffee House. It’s located at 631 West North Temple. I’ve been there once before and I liked the atmosphere. The 22nd was the first available time I could book the gallery space. The coffee house does not allow outside food or drinks.
While browsing current Meetup announcements, I stumbled across this inspiring account (http://lesswrong.com/lw/4ul/less_wrong_nyc_case_study_of_a_successful/) of a successful meetup. It posed the question: “Do you want a community badly enough to build one yourself?” That reminded me that yes, I think I do. I have quite a large number of ideas for future meetup possibilities already.
The agenda will first and foremost be to meet each other. We’ll also discuss future meetups, both logistics and possibilities. We could also start with a short discussion near the end about some Less Wrong topic: leave a comment as to what you think that should be.
Just to clarify: the December announcement was just to gather information and in no way means that there aren’t LWers in SLC determined to have a meetup. There are plenty and we will have a meet up.
