Subject: LogFest in 1 week

Well, with one week to go, I am still waiting to hear from some of you who
said you might be coming to LogFest, which is next weekend (July 16-18).
My current estimate is for around 25 attendees so far, which will be a
record and more than double last year's attendance. About 1/3 of those
attending will be conversant in the language, about 1/3 knowledgable about
the language but not yet able to hold a conversation, and 1/3 newcomers who
probably do not know the language (but since I haven't met some of you, I
might be surprised). 

As a result of our expected size, we will likely have multiple activities
going on at differing levels of skill. Logfest is, however, quite
informal, and the "scheduling" such as it is, is that we do whatever the
people who are there want to do, counting on those more experienced in the
language to help lead any teaching or conversation sessions.

Friday evening is arrival time, primarily social. Saturday is when most
teaching and conversation and other language activities take place. Sunday
is dominated by the annual meeting of the Logical Language Group, which
starts at 1030AM and goes till it gets done, usually 3-5 hours later, by
which time a few people are starting to leave, especially if the have a
ways to travel. Some people stay Sunday evening and even into Monday.

If you are planning on coming, we really would like to know so we can
ensure crash space (if you are sleeping here), and sufficient food.
