From kfl at KeithLynch.net Thu Mar 1 04:52:41 2007 From: kfl at KeithLynch.net (Keith F.

The list was apparently rejecting my messages. ] The DC Transhumanists will be meeting for dinner and discussion on Thursday, March 1, 2007, at 7:00 PM, at the Hamburger Hamlet in Crystal City, Arlington, Virginia. At the restaurant, look for a small sign displaying 'DCT' at the table where we are seated. It is not necessary to RSVP. After the restaurant closes, the meeting may move for a while to the tables in the main corridor of the underground shops area, about 150 feet from Hamburger Hamlet along the corridor which leads back towards the Metro entrance, and go on until about 11 pm. The Hamburger Hamlet is accessible from the Crystal City Metro station (on the Blue and Yellow lines) without going outdoors. At the top of the first escalator leading up from the Metro station fare gates (the second escalator goes to the outdoors), turn right into the Crystal City Shops North, and walk to the Hamburger Hamlet (about a 3 minute walk), winding along the main corridor of the underground shopping mall. It's hard to get lost, because the side corridors are short dead ends. There are a few stairsteps in the main corridor. If you are walking through a corridor which is not lined with shops and restaurants, you probably made a wrong turn at the top of the escalator, and you need to go back to the escalator and enter the Crystal City Shops North. There are usually some small brochures at the information desk just inside the entrance to the Crystal City Shops North, which include a map of the Crystal City Shops. The Hamburger Hamlet is located in the Crystal City underground, in the Crystal City Shops North, and the restaurant is directly accessible by surface road on Crystal Drive, almost directly across the street from the Water Park on Crystal Drive. The actual street address of the complex is 1725 Jeff. Davis Hwy., and that is what is marked above the entrance nearest the Hamburger Hamlet, though that entrance is in fact on Crystal Drive. The Hamburger Hamlet is just inside the doorway, on the right. There are some metered parking spaces along Crystal Drive in that vicinity, and the underground parking has been free of charge in the evenings.

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; ask me if you need assist. My house. Hudson, New Hampshire. A couple miles from the MA border and the Nashua malls. Roughly 20 minutes north of Rt. 128. Saturday, April 21. 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. I also invite friends-of-extropy, such as sf writers, 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; bring ten bucks or so for your share. If you're not around but coming to town in the future, let us know. I can probably round up some folks for dinner. RSVP. -- David. lubkin at unreasonable.com
