There will be a Michigan rationalist/LW/SSC meetup at my house, halfway between Detroit and Ann Arbor, on Sunday, September 7th at 2 PM. You can find my address and directions here. If you’re reading this, you’re invited.
Topic will be “We Should Really Get Formal Topics For These Things One Of These Days”
Our special guest will be Miranda (Swimmer963 on LW), sometime CFAR coordinator and generally cool person.

OK, I think I remember your co-op. Still there?

Moved a block down the street, actually, but it may be easier to just meet there anyway due to the parking lot.
Thank you!

Bro, ever attended my meetups? Every uni party. Scotty my man. Have a mate who lives in Waterloo doing clever things, really into rationalist/less wrong/clever clogs claptrap. He would love to drop in. Are you cool with relative strangers in your home? We both read your blog a great deal but don’t comment because we have busy, intensive lifestyles.
Mad respect as always,
Winny B
P.S love your work

You seem really weird, but I’ll be safely surrounded by lots of people I trust, so whatever, the more the merrier.

Despite earlier invitation, I cannot attend this one, as it is on a weekend that I have my kids.
Maybe next time.

Hello Scott this is irrelevant but is true and kind.
I have a crush on you, would you like to know who I am or not?
I am super dumb and you will not have a crush on me back, probably.

Also I am not actually coming to the meetup I just thought that this comment is gonna be less of a derail here than on a discussion about an actual thing.

Ozy already told me, but thank you for telling me again! You are far away and I don’t really talk to people much, but I like you too.

So, not quite as bad, but pretty damn bad.
