(I highly recommend that everyone join the Google Group so that we can all communicate in a single place by email)
Does anyone else feel like trying to get this meeting a little bit more structured?
For example, something as simple as brief but prepared self-introductions covering your interests (related or unrelated to LW) and anything else about yourself that you might consider worth a mention. We partially covered it last time but it was pretty chaotic.
Or maybe someone even wants to give a brief talk about something they find exciting. Back in the day Jon used to educate us in computational neroscience, which was extremely interesting.

All, Isaac_Davis, dvasya and myself had a pleasant chat at Ikea. Looking forward to the next meetup. Hopefully we'll have enough people next time to play paranoid debating.
If anyone who's interested in coming next month has any sort of concentrated probability distribution over when they'll be able to come, please post it here or on the Google Groups list.
Hopefully, this time Valhalla should be open for, um, follow-up discussions. http://valhalla.rice.edu/
