Hi!

Come join the Virginia Rationalists in Williamsburg, VA at April's 2nd Sundays Art & Music Festival(no, you don't have to apply / register, that's only for vendors); 2023/04/09 from 11:00-14:00. There may be an unofficial after-meetup hangout to get food or something. I would very much enjoy walking around the area afterwards too.

I went to the festival this month (it was last Sunday at time of posting) and it was fun, plus downtown Williamsburg is gorgeous with excellent walkability. Picture a leafy, well-tended to university town (William & Mary is across the street from the festival) that is quite old by American standards and steeped in history; combine that with an open air market + arts & music and that should give you a sense of the vibe or aesthetics.

Due to 2023/04/09 being Easter Sunday and not having run a meetup in Williamsburg before, please RSVP if you intend to come. We will coordinate during the event via the Virginia Rationalists Discord. If you PM here on LessWrong or email me at walambert@pm.me, we can exchange phone numbers if that works better for you than Discord.

Schedule:

• 11:00 Meet at Aromas Coffeehouse Bakery & Cafe (431 Prince George St, Williamsburg, VA 23185). If the weather is nice then we'll likely sit outside, otherwise find us inside. I'll wear a green shirt and a green & yellow hat.
• 13:00 Walk around the festival, check out the arts & music, check out the marketplace vendors, etc.
• 13:45 Meet back up at Aromas Coffeehouse Bakery & Cafe
• 14:00 Official end of the meetup
• After 14:00: If I haven't eaten already I'll probably want to get food at this time and otherwise/then go for a walk around the town & university campus, company welcome.

Contact me here on LessWrong or on the Virginia Rationalists Discord, happy to discuss this meetup and figure out final plans!

Cheers,
Willa
