The event will either take place on the MIT campus (in the Stata Center) or at a cafe or restaurant nearby. The closest stop on the T will be Kendall/MIT on the Red Line.

We'll confirm the location on this blog on Monday afternoon, by which time we'll know more about the number of attendees. If you want more information about the event, you can email me (myfirstname@mit.edu).

That sounds neat. I might go.

My lab is right across the street from Stata, if someone else wants to organize food. The lab is pretty deserted that late, and it's a good place to have meetings with a whiteboard and without a steady stream of people walking by.

Count me as a "maybe." A little more detail on time and location would be good. I like Kraemer's idea above.

A lot of info sessions at MIT are Tuesdays thru Thursday nights but by 9pm they'll be over. There should be plenty of rooms to choose from, assuming our meet up is sanctioned by MIT.

Here's the events calendar:

There's also a Transhumanist meetup this week:
