Providence /lit/ Meetup

[Anonymous No.20038687]

We're having a /lit/ meetup in Providence this Saturday.

Email providenceliterature at protonmail if you're interested & I'll give you the place & time.

>Why?

If you've been to university organizations, reading groups, or hung out in a cafe up here, you've noticed the stifling eggshell-walking culture. And also that no one reads /lit/ books.

>What?

Something in the vein of Ben Franklin's Junto, Emerson's Transcendental Club. Discussion, critique, &c.

That's a shame mate, hope a couple anons show up and you have a grand old time. If not, internet meetups could be a decent second best option, provided all the right precautions were in place. Not sure how it would be any safer or less safe than meeting face to face.

What do you guys think of providence? I'm planning on taking a road trip with my girlfriend this summer and want to stop some places in new england. We did Vermont last summer, and are planning on Maine now but with some stops along the way

Don't visit Boston; it is large without character. Does have passion (anger), if you're into that.

I've been to Boston, I think it has more soul than most big American cities. But we'll probably skip it, want something a bit smaller

salem was a good rec, montreal if we want something bigger, maybe more vermont for hikes + montpelier, portland for maine. I'll just see whatever falls into place. You can't go wrong with this part of the country

Providence is by far the worst major city in New England. Literally a straight dumpster.

You can't meet 4chan people irl, if they meet irl they aren't 4chan people, they are tourists. The only people who go to "meetups" are the same horrible little homosexuals who camwhore and post in stack threads.

Providence blows. A lot of neo shitlib authoritarian retards, homeless drug addicts, racist conservatives and ignorant working class slobs with the IQ's of toothpicks. I do everything I can to avoid Providence and the "culture."

Have fun though, if I see you guys or this book meetup I'll be sure to swing by and chat everyone up for the fuck of it. I like to pick peoples brains and see how well they can formulate an original thought and back up their intellectual stances with reason, evidence, and logic.

Holy cow this is my city. I'm not going to come because lit posters are insufferable, but I'll definitely watch from a distance.

>>20039167
Downtown can be nice. Avoid the area just outside of it though. Frankly avoid anywhere just outside any major attraction, e.g, the neighborhood adjacent Federal Hill is a total shithole. Federal Hill is kind of a shithole too, but some of the restaraunts are nice.

I from Australia and visited Providence back in 2010 for work at Brown University. I really enjoyed the city. I was there for maybe 3 weeks and we thought seriously of staying there when I was offered a lasting position but I don't think I could have spent many years there.
