This is yet another call for people to speak up if they are planning to 
come to the 25th anniversary Logfest at my house in Fairfax VA this 
coming weekend.  We need to plan for food, and sleeping arrangements for 
those coming from out-of-town.

We have around a dozen confirmed attendees and several other "maybes". 
All four of the official "Founders" of Lojban will be there, as well as 
Robin Powell, our illustrious byfy jatna, author, and corporate officer.

Many will be arriving on Friday, which will be purely social; whatever 
"official" activities will take place on Saturday, or possibly Sunday, 
but mostly people just do what they wish, with informal discussion in or 
about Lojban.  Activity tends to run into the wee hours of the morning, 
with people rising late.

Most non-locals are sleeping at my house, though at least one person is 
getting a hotel room.  There are a couple hotels within 3-4 miles in 
Fairfax and several between 5 and 10 miles away at Tysons and Fair Oaks. 
  Doubling up on beds, we have mattress/futon space for 7 and additional 
floor space with a couple of sleeping bags.

We are planning for a hot meal on Saturday evening and platters of 
fruit/cold cuts/veggies for the two lunches, and light fare for 
breakfast.  LLG is paying for this, but we welcome donations to offset 
the costs of the LogFest.

transportation

The address is
2904 Beau Lane
Fairfax VA 20031

on a map, this is at the crossroad where Suteki runs into Beau Lane 
(directly opposite my house)

phone: 703-385-0273

Of the three airports serving Washington DC, Dulles and National are 
closest to here, about equally far (~15 miles).  National allows one to 
use the Metro system without renting a car.  Dulles has a connector bus 
to Metro, but it is not cheap.  Taxi would likely run over $30, but I 
don't know the exact rates.

Trains arrive at Union Station, and buses arrive a couple of blocks from 
Union Station.  One can board Metro at Union station on the "Red Line" 
towards Shady Grove, transferring to the Orange Line at "Metro Center" 
which you then take to the western end of the line at "Vienna" Station. 
  We are a quarter mile from the station (only 1 block after leaving the 
parking lot).  Most people walk, but possibly someone can pick you up at 
the station if you call.  Walking, exit to Nutley St on the South side, 
cross Nutley.  Go one short block to the right to Hermosa, turn left for 
another short block to Beau Lane. Turn left and we are the first 
non-corner house.

For those coming by car, we are one exit west of the Capital Beltway 
(I495) on I66.  The beltway is a circle around DC, and treating that 
circle like a clock face I66 is located at about 9 o'clock.  From the 
North or South, take 495 to I66 West.  Go one exit (2 miles) to Nutley 
Street.  Take the cloverleaf going SOUTH on Nutley, and you are 2 blocks 
from my house.  Immediately get in the left lane, and after one light 
turn left at the second light which is Hermosa Drive.  There will be 
office buildings on your right.  (If you go 100 yards too far, you will 
hit a major crossroads at Lee Highway, and there is a large shopping 
center.)  On Hermosa, go up the short rise and one block to a T-junction 
into Beau Lane.  Turn left, and mine is the first non-corner house on 
the left, opposite Suteki Drive.
