In reply to:

I'm confused. Is the date and location in the body of the post correct or not? These "I've amended the X" comments seem to imply so, but this thread would suggest the date is now the 16th, and the post says the 9th. Please clarify. I live in Central NJ and would love to attend if I can. Either date works for me.

Sorry, it seems that when you create a meetup, LW creates two different pages, which share comments, but can have different text. I changed the text for one, but didn't realise there was a second I wasn't changing.

Discussion article for the meetup : Princeton NJ Meetup

WHEN: 16 November 2013 01:00:00PM (-0500)

WHERE: Small World Coffee, 14 Witherspoon St. Princeton, NJ 08540

My girlfriend and I have just moved to Princeton, and would like to meet any LessWrong readers who go to the university or live in the area. I used to co-run the Oxford meetups a long time ago, and it'd be good to do something similar again. All welcome! We don't have any particular topics in mind, but we're A) willing to discuss anything LW-ey, as well as just socialise, and B) capable of coming up with conversation topics, so don't feel you have to have anything clever to say to be welcome! As such, we hereby precommit to being at Small World Coffe* from 1pm to 3pm. By the sign of the paperclip so shall ye know us. If you prefer a different time/place, please let me know, either by PM or in the comments. *unless people recommend a better option before October 31st. At that point the time and date are fixed.

I think we might have a coordination problem. I am wearing a fox-colored scarf.

Nice~!

I'm driving to upstate New York afternoon of 11-16, but would like to meet you all at a subsequent gathering. So I hope you get together again. That time's usually good for me.

Also: Infini-T, just around the corner down Witherspoon street is also a great place to meet, if it's not too crowded. It's a bit pricier but I like the drink selection better.

It was great thanks! There will be more, but we haven't scheduled a date yet. It certainly won't be thanksgiving weekend, and we'll try and make sure it's intra-term time.

Please note we're meeting at the Small World on Witherspoon, not Nassau. I didn't realise there were two.

There are two Small World locations in Princeton -- the big one on Witherspoon and the small one on Nassau. The event page is indicating the small one, on Nassau. Is that the intent?

Oops, did not realise that was the case. No clear Schelling point.

Hence: we meet at the big one.

GOOD GODS WHAT?! Having recovered from falling out of my chair, I would be delighted to attend! I'd actually suggest somewhere with cheaper and better food/coffee/ice cream/consumables, like Small Worlds, EPS, Tomo Sushi, or Bent Spoon. See you there!
