Date: Saturday, August 30th, 2025

Note: Normally we meet the first Saturday of the month.  But Andrew and I will be out of town then, so instead we're pulling it forward one week, to the last Saturday of August.

Time: 1 pm – 3 pm PT

Address: The northern end of Salesforce Park, 37°47'26.0"N 122°23'43.2"W, by the Beale St. elevator.  We'll be in a ring-shaped parklet, near a grove of Dinosaur Food plants.

Come join San Francisco’s First Saturday ACX meetup. Whether you're an avid reader, a first time reader, or just a curious soul, come meet! We will make introductions, talk about a recent ACX article, and veer off into whatever topic you’d like to discuss.

We relocate to the Andytown coffee shop if there is inclement weather, or too much noise/music outside.

I will carry a stuffed-animal rat to help you identify the group. You can let me know you are coming by either RSVPing on LW or sending an email to 34251super@gmail.com, or you can also just show up!

Topics

We'll be discussing four recent articles on ACX.  You're encouraged, but not required, to read them ahead of time.

• Should Strong Gods Bet On GDP?
• Dating Men In The Bay Area
• Islamic Geometric Patterns In The Metropolitan Museum Of Art
• Book Review: Arguments About Aborigines

(I selected them based on a combination of what I personally enjoyed, and got a high 'like' count on ACX, so it's not entirely subjective.)

Directions

Salesforce Park is elevated four floors above ground level, accessible by elevator or (way cooler, but there may be a line) gondola.  More details here.  We will be in a parklet at the northern point of the Park.  As you exit the Beale St. elevator, walk straight and take a left at the fork.

It is a bit obscured by vegetation, but it looks like this.
