Somehow I managed to not have a quarterly party last year. With a 
birthday coming up that is a round number in both hex and octal, it's 
about frinking time. My version of Sasha's old gatherings.

If you are going to be in the Boston area, you're welcome to attend. 
There's crash-space here, if you need it. You may be able to get a 
ride from NYC or other parts south; use the exi-east list or me to coordinate.

If you're not around but coming to town in the future, let us know. 
We can usually lure a quorum of Bostropians.

My house. Hudson, New Hampshire. A couple miles from the MA border 
and the Nashua malls. Roughly 20 minutes north of Rt. 128.

Saturday, June 24. 2 PM until the last person not me leaves. OK to 
arrive late if you have other commitments; most everyone will still be here.

Anyone on this list is specifically invited. If you have someone else 
in mind, run it by me. It will probably be okay, whether you're able 
to come or not. Additionally, I will invite a few friends-of-extropy, 
such as sf writer, nano, LP, MIT, Alcor types.

Bring to augment existing: food, drink; musical instruments; 
interesting stuff to show people. We'll order Chinese food at some point.

RSVP to me and the exi-east list.

Two minutes after I post, I realize that that day and the following 
Saturday are both encompassed by this years PorcFest. Is there anyone who

(a) would be able to come to the party if it didn't conflict or, contrawise,

(b) can come if I move it to a weekday for once, just before or just 
after PorcFest, because they've come from afar for that or, widdershins,

(c) would *prefer* that it conflict with PorcFest, to avoid those who 
would otherwise attend?

As I expected might happen, enough regulars had conflicts, between 
Porcfest, weddings, and graduations, that my party needs to be pushed out.

I've now mapped out the land mines of holidays, conferences, 
conventions, etc. to plan ahead a bit.

The new date, and the following three gatherings, are planned for 
July 22, Oct 21, Jan 20, and Apr 21. We'll wiggle the dates further 
as needed. If you are interested in attending any of these, let me 
know as your other commitments make one weekend in those vicinities 
better or worse than another.

And if your travels bring you in the vicinity of Boston or New 
Hampshire at some other time, with a heads-up I can probably conjure 
a fascinating crew of dinner companions.
