Due to the success of the NY /lit/ meetup, we are starting a CT chapter. First meetup is Thursday evening.Sick of shallow book talk and blank looks when you bring up serious literature or philosophy? If you’re in or near Hartford CT, come to the CT /lit/ meetup on Thursday, October 15th. We’re here for raw, unfiltered discussion. Meet in person and say what you mean.If you're interested email CTlitmeeetup@proton.me and I'll give you the place and time
>>25586500Please send us a nice group photo from the last one.
>>25586512We try to keep those secret. But the events are fun.
>>25586550It would be awfully good advertisement.

>nylit>arrive at the 1st venue fashionably late>ask front-end barista for organizer anon's party like at Lolita>has no idea what I'm talking about>freaks out because I refer to it as an "event">insists that they don't do events and quizzes me on what's happening>calm him down by clarifying it as a "small get-together">buy a drink and head in>wander around for a while looking for organizer anon>barely recognize him from last year>he brought along a non-4chan user friend (for some reason)>we palaver for a couple of hours guessing who of the people walking in and looking lost were anons>a handful of others join us over time>a few arrive unfashionably late>one (looked kinda like that classic trollface meme) keeps ducking out and turning back up again>anon mentioned above also brings a GF and you can kinda tell the relationship is not enriched by the experience>we stick around for a couple of hours or so then start hopping venues>a few generic restaurants and bars are visited>one venue is interesting, a members-only club>hear whispers about the place before we got there (this was better than Lolita for people projecting their fucking voices so everyone can actually hear what the fuck you're saying, only one consistently talked under his breath and was impossible to hear from more than two feet away, most mostly projected and were audible [for the most part])>still didn't understand where we were going at all>get asked by the doorman if I'm a member>freeze up>doorman senses my ignorance>trollface anon says yes I'm a member>roll with it, say yes, I'm a member>doorman goes, "In what sense?">"In the literal sense">for some reason the doorman accepts this and lets me in >find out later this club would cost me $3K a year to get into and I'd have to submit to some humiliating application process>interior is like a cross between an ornate library and a nightclub>walls decorated with actual books you can open and read>we waver between splitting up and gathering back together again, some of us reading wall books and avoiding conversation with any of the actual members fucking crowding the place like yuppie pigs at a trough>overall the conversation is much more political than literary, an interesting change of pace from Lolita>keep my political mouth shut most of the night until shortly before I leave when I talk up John Brown>at 11:45 PM go home to the insomnia attack during which I write these wordsThere's nothing quite like these gatherings. Very interesting to see those of us willing to cast aside anonymity, even if just for a night. I don't always know what the hell is being talked about (especially at very loud venues), but when I do, it generally grants fascinating insight into a unique vision of the world. I'll have free copies of CC for like 5 or 6 of you at the next one.Picrel is from the interesting venue. I left that copy of CC there. I wonder what will happen to it.
>>25586600ur bookshelves have lights built in? bro that's fire where did u cop those?
nigga i barely survived the last nyclit meetup
>>25586600mid, like anything american.
why is amtrak so expensive
>>25586500Anyone else going to the furry convention in stamford at the end of the month?
>>25587279funny story about that actually
>>25586500>>success
>>25586500What do I need to do to prepare for this? What authors will be discussed? Is it enough to have read GoT and HP? What is the usual gender ratio? Will females be attending? Is there a dress code? How might I recognize the group? Will this be at a nightclub or a bar? Can I bring my younger siblings? Is there a fee to join? Is there a cover?
Hartford-bros, have you been to the Mark Twain house? Is it worth a trip up from the city?
>>25586500Will everyone end up driving in, or did you manage to pick a spot that was walkable from the bus terminal?
Do we read to each other at a restaurant? How does this work? Where the fuck is OP (fag)?
>>25586500can someone dump the new york photos
>>25587928
>>25587945
>>25587945guy second from left didn’t get it lol
>>25587949rumor is he's from turkey but he claims to be american despite a really heavy accent and very little info on american memes and culture
It’s so great that you're putting yourselves out there and socializing offline. Are you thinking of branching out into other activities together, or just keeping it to the reading for now?
>>25588002lol
>>25587857Not OP but I'll be there for sure.Here is are some answers based on previous meetups and our plans for the new candidates->What authors will be discussed?It’s almost always the standard rotation—usually McCarthy, Mishima, maybe Houellebecq. The conversation tends to drift toward Žižek or Nick Fuentes within twenty minutes anyway. Don't expect anything heavier. >Will females be attending?No. Aside from the shift supervisor occasionally coming over to wipe down the stage, there haven't been any women present at any of the previous meetups.>What is the usual gender ratio?It was 100% male last time, and it will almost certainly be 100% male this time. The only real variable is whether three people show up or four.>Is there a fee to join?The pursuit of truth cannot be commodified. Our intellectual salon operates entirely outside the degrading, transactional constraints of late-stage zionism.>Is there a cover?There is no cover charge to enter the Panera Bread, though I do strongly recommend bringing exactly $3.50 if you plan to join us with under-the-counter 400mg Charged Lemonades.>Is there a dress code?We lean toward post-ironic formal. Think an unstructured, dark blazer worn over a graphic tee that subtly implies you've read Nick Land, paired with whatever orthopedic running shoes you currently own. It’s entirely about projecting an aura of effortless, aristocratic decay.
>>25587887Everything is walkable from the bus, asshole.
>>25587896Yes, sometimes someone will read aloud something that moved them.
>>25586500I went to the ny one and the whole night revolved around one superintelligent anon who had a really narrow perspective but kept going on and on and masterfully charismatically relating every single thing anyone brought up to Cather in the Rye and took us to every location possible in manhattan from the book. It will probably remain one of the best and strangest nights of my life.
>>25588471Idk what that nigger was on be he never came back
Organ harvesting op. So not attend 4chan meet-ups. You WILL be killed and harvested for parts.
>>25588525Nah, he's been back to a few. The Holden Caulfield night he said it was 2cb fwiw.
>>25588471Fucking weirdest literary thing I've ever been a part of—suddenly Salinger is Goethe and Catcher is Faust and 2023 NYC is Classical Walpurgisnacht.
>>25586500Why isn't this somewhere more fucking reasonable for most people like Boston or New York City?
>>25588539someone's been to Hartford, I see
>>25588619I too wanna know why is this not a boston /lit/ meetup
>>25588619>>25588804Hartford is a central location! Both Boston and NYC are ~2 hour train rides from Hartford.
>>25587279Har har>>25587857Just come and talk about what you've been reading. You probably can guess the authors and books. Got and Hp are for trash human beings, so if you actually read those don't come retard. The gender ratio is 50/50. There is no dress code. You'll recognize us -email for location- How younger? There is a formal pledge but no fee. No cover anywhere in Hartford lel
>>25586600Inappropriate behavior from a former member>>25587253We will subsidize your ticket under certain circumstances.
>>25587874Yes and yes>>25587887Yes most if not all will be commuting sans car
>>25587945>>25587948Delete these please>>25588002Probably some golf and fishing
>>25588397Man...>>25588619Because none of us have cars
>>25587948>>25587945Holy faggotry...
>>25588619>>25588804Actually most of us were originally from the Boston /lit/ meetup. It's just that a lot of us live a state or two down south now, and the ACTUAL "Boston /lit/ Meetup" guy is off doing his own thing.We have no intention of taking the Boston /lit/ Meetup over from him. He's cool.
>>25589044>pretending the boston lit meetup is reallol
>>25589078I went twice to empty venues.
>>25586500Is this because of the fistfight between the two asian guys at the last nyc meetup?
>>25589078>>25589116Is there a running gag that it's not?First I've heard of this. I've been to it multiple times. Usually at the same cafe/bookstore, with the fatty brunch menu items.
>>25589240You think it's funny to get pranked twice over just for wanting to chill and talk about books? Glad you're running with the meme but tbfh I had my hopes up from the stupid fucking fake photos and sure maybe the idea was to get me out in the world ok great fine anyone else fall for it? Is there some discord where the joke is runnign from? What's the point
>>25586500Will I be the only girl?
>>25589268Probably.I had a female friend who wanted to come to one of these, but she didn't wanna be the only girl, and I had to tell her the truth about what the group's makeup was. Still, maybe that can change over time.
>>25589306What is the dress code for foids?
Does someone provide brownies made with semen like tha /k/ meet up "incident"?
>>25589703Every time yes. And we all laugh at the, usually women, who are unaware of the meme and eat the brownies, tainted or not.
