Bay Area Meetup Saturday 6/12

Can I come? If I shipped my robot to the airport, could someone transport the bot by car for the remaining distance?

Yes. Message me if you'd like to do this. (or email: annasalamon at gmail.)

Thanks, you're a good human! c=@

Though I might not make this one -- I'm not sure if I can finalize the source code and ship it in time, but I'll keep this in mind if and when I decide to send my robot.

Excuses, excuses...

Anyways, not sure what kind of robot you were planning on using, but this one is cool and reasonably priced. http://anybots.com/ They're located a few miles from Benton, they might actually let you borrow one for Saturday if you asked nicely.

I plan on coming, though I'd really appreciate it if someone could drive me to and from the nearest Caltrain station.

[-]AnnaSalamon15y30

We totally give rides from the Caltrain station. Will's the contact man on this: 520 305 0771.

[-]Will_Newsome15y10

Yup! If you want a ride from Lawrence you can give me a call and I'd be glad to pick you up. Also, for those who plan on driving to Benton, if you see a free spot in the driveway please leave it open. Thanks!

I had no idea, much appreciated! For anyone else arriving by Caltrain though, I also recommend biking, if you can. Once you've figured out the route, it's really a pleasant ride! And I have read in a couple of places that some light cardiovascular exercise tends to increase one's sociability immediately afterward [citation needed, will find at some point].

[-]Kevin15y00

The Lawrence station is the closest one.

Is this open to everyone? I've been following your blog for awhile and would be interested in coming, although I haven't really contributed to LW very much. I've never been to a meetup like this before. Is it like a salon-style kind of thing with lectures and whatnot or more of an informal social gathering?

[-]Nick_Tarleton15y00

Informal social gathering, and yes, open to everyone interested.

[-]Clippy15y-10

Really? What if you don't look human? What if you don't give identification? I think you need to qualify your statement.

[-]RomanDavis15y40

Not looking human might make it a little harder, but as long as you speak English, don't do anything impolite (like turning the guests into paperclips) come in a form that fits in the door and are big enough to see with the human eye (how big are you Clippy?), you should be fine.

[-]RHollerith15y10

Sadly unable to attend. (And unable to participate in Less Wrong except superficially.)

[-]komponisto15y00

Aargh! If only this had taken place a week earlier!
