Reminder: Daylight Saving Time begins on Sunday, March 8 at 2 a.m. - please bear this in mind when planning your time of arrival.
We will be meeting in the Kogod Courtyard of the Donald W. Reynolds Center for American Art and Portraiture (8th and F Sts or 8th and G Sts NW, go straight past the information desk from either entrance) to hang out, play games, and engage in fun conversation.
Note: Feel free to send an email to the Google Group - lesswrong-dc - if you have a game you wish to recruit people to play in advance. This is especially useful for games that take 3+ hours, as you would want to start playing by 3:30 to be sure of finishing by 7:00.
Note Also: As there has been some interest in this, we are going to have at least one game of Nomic. Players will probably work out their initial ruleset or rulesets somewhere in the 3:00-4:00 timespan to start playing by 4:00.
Note the Third: Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality is likely to conclude on March 14th. David Steinberg is working on scheduling an end-of-HPMoR party for the DC area via Facebook; please contact him - david.isaac.steinberg@gmail.com - or myself - robin.zimm@gmail.com - if you would (a) prefer that Mini Talks be postponed in favor of end-of-HPMoR or (b) prefer that this not happen.
Greenbelt Station will be closed, with buses replacing trains; trains on many lines will be operating every 15 minutes to accommodate track work. The Verizon Center calendar for March 8 has a Charlie Wilson concert starting at 7 p.m. (doors 6 p.m.).
Upcoming meetups:
- Mar. 15: Mini Talks OR HPMoR Discussion (short lectures by attendees OR freeform conversation about the story)
- Mar. 22: Rationalist Taboo OR Mini Talks (discuss concepts without using the conventional words for them OR short lectures by attendees)
- Mar. 29: Singing Meetup (weather permitting; Fun & Games will be fallback topic)
