I would enjoy meeting with some folks for a while at the Logfest  
tomorrow. I am local to the area, and have not been active in Lojban.  
My language skills consist of only a few sumti.

Will there be any young children present? My 4 year old daughter would  
be with me. She might enjoy learning some Lojban. I am curious to see  
how she would do learning some phrases with no prior exposure to the  
language.

I can bring food, snack or beverage. Let me know what you need.
