NOTE: Because our usual location of Rocky Hill Cohousing in Northampton is unavailable, we're meeting at The Hangar Pub and Grill (a.k.a. Amherst Brewing Company) in Amherst. We're also meeting on Friday rather than the usual Saturday again for logistical reasons. We'll look for a relatively quiet area with a table that's big enough for everyone, in the outdoor seating area if it's not too cold. For anyone who's brand new, we'll have an "ACX meetup" sign. The Hangar has a dedicated parking lot so it should be easy to find parking.
We're the regular Northampton area meetup for ACX readers, and (as far as I know) the only rationalist or EA meetup in the Pioneer Valley area. We started in the 2018 Meetups Everywhere event and have been going ever since, though had a dip during the COVID era. We aim to meet every other Saturday evening for most meetups; most planning happens in our Discord on the #scheduling-chat and #scheduling-voting channels (see below for link to an invite).
Please join us for rationalist discussion, drinks and snacks at:
DATE & TIME
Friday, October 17, 2025, 6:00 PM – roughly 10:00 PM

The Hangar
10 University Dr.

Extra Info For Potential Attendees (quoting Scott):
- If you’re reading this, you’re invited. Please don’t feel like you "won’t be welcome" just because you’re new to Astral Codex Ten, demographically different from the average reader, or hate ACX and everything it stands for. You’ll be fine!
- You don’t have to RSVP or contact the organizer to be able to attend. RSVPs are mostly to give organizers a better sense of how many people might show up, and let them tell you if there are last-second changes.
Meetup announcements go out via an email list; feel free to email me at alex@alexliebowitz.com to get on the list. Just let me know if you'd like to be a CC or BCC. There is also a Discord that some of us use for follow-up conversation, last minute questions about logistics, etc--here's an invite.
Look forward to meeting you!
