Inspired by @Vladyslav Sitalo & @Gleb Posobin's successful SF meetup, and @Maggie Appleton's London meetups, I'd like to catalyze a NYC meetup! For place, I'm thinking picnic in Prospect Park (or another park that works for everyone) in the supposedly good Sept weather we have coming up. For time, I'm thinking next Sat, 9/10/22, in the afternoon could be a good time <!channel> - react thumbs up if you can attend, or reply in the thread if you have alternative suggestions for time or place ps - also looking for co-organizers if anyone is interested :)

The SF meetup wasn't me haha, but I'm happy to help with the NYC one =)
If it's in a park, sounds like it will be more of a social thing without talks? In SF I know there were some talks.

Oops I meant Max Krieger

Sounds fun! Outdoors/park works great. Won't be of much physical help this time around for the 9/11 date but will bring shareable-potlucky stuffs with me if the group is small and it makes sense to do it that way : )

Oops there's a ACX meetup then I forgot about that day so let's aim for 9/10 instead. I'll update the original post In case anyone's curious: https://www.lesswrong.com/events/rFLGkSGcz37Mgd9zg/new-york-city-ny-acx-meetups-everywhere-2022
Hmmm I was kinda hoping more folks would be interested in this... I wonder if NY is somehow less into FoC events than SF or London? Maybe we try again in a couple weeks?

I'm just seeing this 😞

@stevekrouse Hey! I'm in NYC 17-23rd; would love meetup and discuss foc related topics 🙂

count me in 🙂 but weather it can be outdoors or not depends on the whether!
Wednesday, Oct 19th evening? Happy-hourish? Does Manhattan work for folks?

I think you got your weathers backwards 😜
Yeah I'll post it to the channel and see if we can get a group together

This is the problem with syntax, and why I'm betting on visual programming
