So I know this is a very old post, but is this something anybody is still interested in? I live in Baton Rouge and would love to start forming a lesswrong community down here!
I was in Natchitoches, unfortunately, so a bit away from you. I met a guy once from Munroe. But I've since moved to Virginia, so I probably won't be attending any hypothetical LA meetups.
It is not too unlikely that I will wind up in Ruston for a large portion of next year (but I am so bloody confused about so many things that it's up in the air). I have no idea what part of the state Ruston is in, or if I'd have the opportunity to make a meetup, but if I'm there and have the chance, I'd be up for it.
Ruston is in northern Louisiana, about an hour from Shreveport and an hour and a half from Natchitoches.
Is there any interest in an (ideally northern) LA meetup? I live in Natchitoches, which would probably not be an ideal location (unless there are people coming from both Shreveport and Alexandria). I know of at least one reader in Baton Rouge; is there anyone else out there?
