How many people will be making that drive, and how many times? Do you yet have a reasonably firm idea how many are coming?
I doubt if he does because we seldom have half the people make a firm commitment until the week of LogFest, and some of them don't necessarily show. (There is a reason why we've done things as informally as we have, as Robin has discovered no doubt to his chagrin).
So far as I know, Cowan, John Hodges, Twery, Gary Burgess, Paul Francis O'Sullivan are likely to stay at my house among those likely to come; Hodges and Burgess and possibly Twery would have cars, which is a good thing since my car couldn't carry everyone. Athelstan needs transportation to where ever from his home in Baltimore, if he comes. Keith Lynch walks or bikes, and hence is limited if it is more than a few miles from my house or Tysons Corner. There are usually at least a couple of people who come unannounced - last year it was Aruna and her husband; the prior year (I think) it was Nexus and friend, the year before it was Ethan and Jake.
Tommy Whitlock is actually closer to Herndon/Dulles than to my house, as is Dave Barton (I think). Shawn/Alex are further.
