No Agenda yet, just a first time meetup to get to know each other.

I'd like to encourage everyone to bring their ideas about how to foster a local Transhumanist community and promote the changes to public policy that will accomplish the goals of Transhumanism.

oregoncryonics is starting up! 8-) Colby, the Pub at the End of the Universe sounds good. Besides starting up some activism, discussion, meeting friends, and sharing resources - we could invite speakers like de Grey and organize events for the PDX community.

I volunteer to compile an Essential Bibliography for the group. Please bring any recommendations for worthwhile books, videos, or publications -- that have saved you lots of time.

I would like to talk about the upcoming meeting. Please feel free to contact me so we can get the discussion started! I have a passion for paired photons. Believe it or not, there is a connection between cosmology and information technology in regards to this. I'm prepared to have my mind blown - how about you? I'm talking about a radical departure from standard model explainations for grand unification as applied to space time dimensional theory. Need help on transdimensional math

Still looking for a good location that will be private and quiet enough to hold good conversations yet also a fun outing. If you have any suggestions feel free to leave comments. I'm looking to startup an official local WTA chapter here in the Portland area - there are already many other big cities which have Transhumanist meetups. You can also find me and other Transhumanists on www.transhumanists.org
