No invitations to Benton House have been forthcoming for the last couple months, so I thought we might do one located in a restaurant somewhere. I would suggest Holder's Country Inn, but if anyone else has any suggestions, I'm more than willing to change venue. I would suggest a meeting time of 7, but that is also amenable to change.
Edit: We're meeting at the Inn. I'll be out front at 7 with a sign saying Less Wrong.
Three people including myself showed up. We had a decent discussion of the meaning of subjective probability under various conditions, as well as many digressions, into fields such a deconversion and the meaning of worthiness as it applies to fiction. We left the restaurant and went to Benton House where we chatted for about an hour before I left.
You should talk to the Benton people to see if they're interested in hosting another. The Benton place is really nice for them because they don't have to travel anywhere--they are a fairly large group that's short on cars.
We could have one here at Benton this Sunday, or we could go for June 5 so that folks have warning and can plan. My feeling is that the latter would be better. What do you think?
ARGH— how do you always know which weekends I'll be out of town? It's been uncanny so far, and if you add June 5th, I'll have missed the last 3 LW meetups before moving away from California.
Is there a reason why that weekend would be preferable to the week before or the week after?
Maybe you can have a meetup on the 16th at Holder's Country Inn and whoever wants to from Benton can go, and then there can still be a June 5th meetup at Benton? Though if it's more than 8 people it stops working as well at a restaurant.
