Going to be slightly late, sorry.

Karma: 42
Great timing. Coincides well.
So, it was a good time. The 4 year old lead us in a discussion of biomorphic freedom (she wants wings).
That’ll be interesting. Knock yourself out. :)
Hopefully it won’t be busy; also I’ll have a green sign with LW on it for everyone to recognize.
I don’t have the karma for this yet. Would you be so kind as to add it?
Meetup: Twin Cities, MN (for real this time)
THE TIME: 15 April 2012 01:00:00PM (-0600)
THE PLACE: Purple Onion Coffeeshop, 1301 University Avenue Southeast, Minneapolis, MN
Hi. Let’s make this work.
Suggested discussion topics would be:
What do we want this group to do? Rationality practice? Skill sharing? Mastermind group?
Acquiring guinea pigs for the furtherance of mad science (testing Center for Modern Rationality material)
Fun—what it is and how to have almost more of it than you can handle
If you’d like to suggest a location closer to you or a different time, please comment to that effect. If you know a good coffeeshop with ample seating in Uptown or South Minneapolis, we could meet there instead. Also comment if you’d like to carpool.
If you’re even slightly interested in this, please join up or at least comment.
Folks, let’s hang out and take it from there.
Hi, I’m a long-time reader of Eliezer’s various scribblings and I’m interested in getting a meetup group going in Minneapolis after we’ve had a few false starts. This is the post I’m trying to gather the karma to enable:

I’m a concert pianist and freelance computer guy for small businesses. My hobbies include indie art games and reverse-trolling A.T.Murray/Mentifex on AGI-list. Cheers.
Thank you; am aware of the danger of requesting karma. I figure it’s worth it for the purpose intended.
I’ve now posted there as well.
I’m ~1/3 of the way there folks. Next 10 voters get a free funny cat picture. Limited time offer.
I don’t have the karma to post this regularly. Grant me karma, my fellows.

Fund it.
I think LW city-specific posts should we used, rather than requiring a visit to an outside site, this being a good example:
http://lesswrong.com/meetups/6v
However, the name of the location should be posted as well as its address; and some clearly visible notifier should be available at the table, if it’s in public.
Squires and I had a chat for a couple hours and we think that, next time, the organizer should spam the table with paperclips; would make it more obvious who’s who. I saw you in the corner with a red shirt, but you were far from any door, of which there were three. :)
On a more serious note, let’s do somewhere more central next time. South Minneapolis/Edina would be better. I’m coming from NE.
Likewise.
Don’t know how I missed that, but I’m in for this one. I have two days to catch up on months of LW posts or I’ll be hopelessly outdated.
I’m parking northwest of Dinkytown and walking; it’s a nice area.
Unfortunately, not that many, I’d say.
I’d attend; could be fun.
How about the Purple Onion? They have comfortable, wingback chairs. :)
Uhh, guys. Went there; there were no markings other than the house number, and nobody responded to knocks or the bell. Roseti 1380.
