I'm looking forward to meeting everybody at Lighthaven!

Now that I have moved from New Jersey to Walnut Creek, CA (just a month ago), I plan to come to this meet-up. I've been reading Scott's blog for over a decade but have never attended a meet-up before, nor have I ever driven to Berkeley before. Is there parking available nearby?

Brad Brown's avatar

Usually street parking, yes. There are many side roads that are rarely full.

Arthur Frank's avatar

Thanks, Brad. I appreciate that information.

Lots of street parking nearby but the general request of Lighthaven is to please not park in the 2 blocks closest to it (assuming you don’t have a mobility limitation or similar constraint). They’re trying to maintain good neighbor relationships.

I am 74 years old but a good walker, so I will park 2.5 or 3 blocks away. Thanks for the information.

Time to debate if I should do the 13 mile bike ride to the worst Bart station to get on a train that'll take 1.5 hours to get there... so a round trip time of 5 hours

And to think some people don't like cars.

Edmund  Nelson's avatar

yeah it's twice as long by public transport+bike as it is by car.

About half of that is not living close to BART

Where are you coming from Edmund? I'm driving from south of SF, but would be happy to carpool if you're anywhere close to my route.

Yes, I plan to be there!

Hello all, I'd love to attend but have a 3 year old daughter that I would have to bring with. Could any other parents help me understand how they engage their kids while trying to meet new people?

Daniel Reeves's avatar

Plenty of kids around and lots of people who enjoy entertaining kids; I suspect it will work great to bring your 3yo along!

my work ends at the start time but i hope to make it if it goes late enough.

I had hoped to make it this year, but someone scheduled a professional conference that I can't justify skipping for the same week. Maybe next time (though holding it on a Wednesday does kind of maximize the potential for that sort of conflict).

I think I'm probably one of those not typical ACX readers and I plan on attending. I just joined the newsletter a month or so ago, brought here by "The Goddess of Everything Else," which I couldn't get out of my head for a couple of months since reading it. I tend toward possibly unrealistically positive aspirations for the future of humanity and find the changes brought from AI to be incredibly exhilarating - though I'm also slightly terrified of it ever since reading Bostrum's Superintelligence many years ago.

Those who may be hesitant or new to the ACX community should definitely not miss this event. I saw a lot of connections there. https://survivalrace2.io/

This Wednesday's Berkeley meetup promises to be a great opportunity to connect with the ACX community — it's great to see everyone welcome, providing an open and inspiring space! https://pokerogue.io

Thanks for the invite! Looking forward to meeting everyone at Lighthaven on June 4. It sounds like a great chance to connect with both locals and visitors. I’ll be there and excited to join the conversation! See you all soon. https://merge-fellas.io

I greatly appreciate the useful information you provide. I hope that in the future you will continue to provide everyone with as many excellent postings as you can.

Moto X3M includes a variety of themed versions, such as Moto X3M Winter, Moto X3M Pool Party, and Moto X3M Spooky Land, each with its own atmosphere and design. https://motox3m-free.github.io

Sounds like a fun meetup! If anyone wants to chill out after, I’ve been working on a little game called <a href="https://badicecream.cv" target="_blank">bad ice cream</a>—it’s a quirky way to cool off and kill some time. Would love to hear what you think!

Are you having another one this August? If so, what will the topic be? https://candyclicker.io

I'm excited to see the ACX community having another meetup, especially in the Berkeley area. https://geometrydash22.com

The organizers are proactively shaping the culture of the event to be open and accepting from the start. This is a powerful message for building a strong and diverse community.

I’m really looking forward to the Astral Codex Ten meetup this Wednesday in Berkeley — sounds like a great chance to connect with folks and dive into interesting conversations! https://99-nightsintheforest.io/

Drift Hunters captures that truth in every turn. It’s not a game that screams for attention. It’s one that quietly earns your respect — because it gives you something few games do anymore: the freedom to be present. https://drifthunters2.io
