Friam @ Lucky Bean this Friday

Administrator

We had wedtech today at Tesoro, as usual, and stopped into the Lucky Bean coffee shop & cafe which has taken over the old Borders site in Sanbusco shopping center.

Steve suggested we meet there Friday for our Friam chat. Lets do that and we can decide if we'd like to change to that venue, either permanently or at least for when St John's is closed.

But isn't the point to meet at St Johns as often as possible:

this discussion is only applicable for when that is not possible?

Speaking of St Johns; I just got back from John Rees' lecture about Neuronal Migration, and was chagrined that I seemed to be the only person who attended both that and the 'Evolution of Intelligence' /Ulam lectures.

Amongst topics like head transplants and the efficacy of neurotropic drugs for learning (" Just study better" was Rees' response, himself a Johnnie) were a number of questions touching on the same areas that David brought up, about the development and nature of computational models of brain activity.

The Zia diner is a good place earlier in the day: the back room where the bar / lounge area is frequently hosts small groups in the morning, and they are happy to serve coffee or tea without food. They are about 150 feet from Lucky Bean. I agree with Kim re the atmosphere at Lucky Bean.

It might serve as a backup when St John’s is closed. Personally, I would prefer Downtown Subscription for that purpose.

Re: Brains and Head (was Re: [sfx: Discuss] "Friam @ Lucky Bean this Friday")

Tory,

I can’t come this week, so I am really irrelevant, but I think Owen’s is the last firm word on this subject:

OD SAID: Steve suggested we meet there (I.E. LUCKY BEAN) Friday for our Friam chat. Let’s do that and we can decide if we'd like to change to that venue, either permanently or at least for when St John's is closed.

Somebody better take a firm stand or we will end up meeting all over the City. Last I knew, Frank and Hywel were the most reliable attenders. Have they been heard from? Hywel is not on the Friam list, I don’t think.

I will see you the following Friday, “If the water don’t rise and the Creek don’t flood,” which, come to think of it, it is.

Short form: Friam @ St John's next week.

As Tory Sez: But isn't the point to meet at St Johns as often as possible: this discussion is only applicable for when that is not possible?

Yes, that was part of the experiment, to see if we could at least find a good alternative to St Johns when it is closed. And with winter coming on, Downtown Sub won't work.

There were other reasons, such as helping a new Santa Fe business to get started and to find a place close to SFX so folks working on projects could take a break at Friam. I also *liked* the ambiance .. much like the bean-bag genre in Silicon Valley startups. But then I'm interested in science/tech conversations which fit such a space.

So back to SJ, see you next week.
