When

Sunday, 2024-02-04

People will start showing up on the second floor at 2:00 pm and activities will start ~2:30 pm. I'll be around until ~4:00 pm

Where

Coffee Exchange's address is 207 Wickenden St, Providence RI

What

Cambist Booking is an activity about valuing things (it's loosely based on The Cambist and Lord Iron). I'll have a stack of index-card sized paper cut outs with stuff like 

  • a new sports car
  • a wafflemaker
  • a child in Rwanda receives 4 regular pediatric vaccinations
  • a family member receives an organ transplant
  • a heartfelt letter from a close friend

on them. You'll take a card and find someone else with a card, then the two of you will try to think about the ratio at which you value card A to card B. 

If things go well we'll:

  • talk about what we value and why
  • socialize
  • not get dutch booked
