Subject: LogFest 99

It was pointed out to me that I hjad not actually announced the final
determination for LogFest, so here goes.

Logfest 99, the official annual meeting of the membership of The Logical
Language Group, and associated mini-con will be held the weekend of July
16-18, 1999 here at my house in the Washington DC suburb of Fairfax VA.
The actual official meeting will be held Sunday July 18, 1999 at 10AM.

While we have no confirmation from him, we are hoping that Nick Nicholas
will be here for much of the weekend. Nick is now living in Soutern
California, and is interested in coming, but has no leave time yet and thus
would have to fly here and back entirely within the weekend.

No specific promises have been made, but comments made by some of you
suggest that attendance will be significantly greater than recent years,
during which attendance has generally been between 10 and 18.

We are located near the Washiongton Metro (subway) making rental cars
unnecessary, and most who come use sleeping bags and our few spare beds so
that attending is relatively cheap (we ask for a voluntary $30 or whatever
you can afford to help cover expenses). 

We have not in recent years planned much in the way of a "program", but
suggestions are welcome. Conversation goes on for much of the night, and
is not always about Lojban, as Lojbanists who attend often have other
interests in common. We usually get on IRC at some specific times to
involve those who cannot attend in person, and in previous years there has
been talk of a simulataneous UK gathering, though this has not yet come
together. We usually try to have a couple of periods where some of us try
to converse only in Lojban. If Nick is here, I think that will happen
rather more than ever before.
