NEWTON, MASSACHUSETTS, USA Contact: duck_master Contact Info: duckmaster0[at]protonmail[dot]com Time: Saturday, September 9th, 12:00 PM Location: Newton Centre Green at 1221 Centre St, Newton, MA, USA Coordinates: https://plus.codes/87JC8RJ4+76 Event Link: https://www.lesswrong.com/events/fMcxBfAimukmqpAzB/2023-acx-meetups-everywhere-newton-ma Notes: If I run this it'll be totally open-ended (I'm planning ~12pm to ~2pm, but can totally go to any time). Also open beyond the rat community proper (I'll welcome postrats, alignment researchers, predictors, effective altruists, and rationalists).

NEWTON, MASSACHUSETTS, USA Contact: duck_master Contact Info: duckmaster0[at]protonmail[dot]com Time: Sunday, April 07, 12:00 PM Location: Upper Falls Greenway (Easy St, Newton, MA, USA 02461; just off Needham St, near the intersection with Dedham St and Winchester St) Coordinates: https://plus.codes/87JC8Q8Q+QH Group Link: https://www.lesswrong.com/groups/HnrqwPvpX7TFtMwR9 Event Link: https://www.lesswrong.com/events/j7xvKMy96W6Lcy77j/newton-acx-meetups-everywhere-spring-2024 Additional Notes: Mostly unstructured talking. Anywhere along the Upper Falls Greenway (between Easy St and the Charles River, paralleling Needham St) works, since I expect we'll be walking to and fro. However, newbies should show up **at the Easy St end** so we don't get lost. If there's demand for it we can also migrate to the footpath on the Needham side of the river as well (between Highland Ave and 2nd Ave). I plan on bringing my plush duck. I may or may not bring nametags. If I don't bring nametags, I'll ask everyone to introduce their names (internet names are ok for this meetup). Other types of people beyond rationalists (eg postrats, alignment researchers, predictors, EAs, etc.) are welcome!

The format will be general miscellaneous talk as with earlier meetups. I will ask everyone to say their names though (and I might bring nametags too). I plan on sticking around for ~3 hours, but if attendees plan on leaving an hour earlier or later I'm ok with that as well.
Scott will provisionally be attending the meetup in Berkeley. ACX meetups coordinator Skyler will provisionally be attending Boston, Burlington, Kitchener-Waterloo, Newton, Northampton, and Berkeley. Some of the biggest ones might be announced on the blog, regardless of whether or not Scott or Skyler attends.
