Meet at the Waterloo Public Library Main Branch at 7pm. We've booked the Board Room on the ground floor.
There will be pizza and cake, like at a ten year old's birthday party :B
On March 14th, 2015, EY posted the final chapter of Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality. Wrap parties were held all across the world to read the ending and talk about the story, in some cases sparking groups that would continue to meet for years. It’s been ten years since then, and some think that that's a good reason for another round of parties.
More enlightened folks such as myself would have preferred holding off celebrations until 11th year, i.e. the year at which HPMOR will be old enough to receive its Hogwarts letter. Alas.
Come celebrate! Chat with others about how HPMOR changed your life (or not), if it holds up to a reread (or not), and what other works of fiction you like and/or were permanently altered by, rationalist or not.
I'd also like to use this as an excuse to facilitate a fiction book swap and a library card sign-up-a-thon; bring a book you own or one from the library shelves that you like, pitch it to the group, and we'll do some trading. By default, we'll arrange to return all the books to their original owners at or before the spring Meetups Everywhere, May 8th.
The library closes at 9pm; we may head to a secondary location afterwards.
