[Lnc-business] optional social activities for LNC in Alexandria

[Wes Benedict]

I'd like to welcome members of the Libertarian National Committee to 
Alexandria this weekend.

In addition to the official agenda, here are a few suggestions for 
things to do before and after the official meeting.

For those of you arriving early enough on Friday, after checking into 
the hotel, you are welcome to come by the LPHQ to hang out, discuss, 
brainstorm, gossip, or whatever. I'll be here as well as other staff 
members probably until at least 7:30 PM. (See suggestion below about 
bringing beer or wine.)

Below are a few places to consider eating that are very close by to your 
hotel and LP headquarters, and of course are in walking distance.

*Table Talk Restaurant *(just across the street from the hotel and to 
the left) is a greasy spoon-style restaurant with a great breakfast, and 
sandwiches and things for lunch. _It closes a 3PM_.
*La Porta's *(next door to the hotel) is more upscale and open for lunch 
and dinner. At 3 PM, happy hour starts, with half-priced bar menu items 
like hamburgers.
*Whole Foods *and *Subway *Sandwiches is just down the street from the 
hotel.

Regardless of where you might eat Friday, I suggest walking over to 
Whole Foods, picking up a 6-pack of beer or a bottle of wine, and then 
bringing it over the LP Headquarters (at 1444 Duke St.) to share with 
staff and any other guests that are here Friday afternoon and early 
evening. Left overs can be contributed to the Saturday night building 
headquarters anniversary celebration.

Tim Hagan has been working to find people to go to a Friday night 
*baseball game *with him. Contact Tim if you are interested in that.

Saturday will be a full day of the LNC meeting, followed by the LPHQ 
anniversary celebration

On Sunday, depending on when things wrap up, if somebody has suggestions 
on group activities, feel free to propose them.

Last year, several of us wandered over to the historic King Street, just 
a few blocks away, from the office, which is loaded with bars, 
restaurants, and shops.

On Sunday, if there's enough interest, you might get a group together to 
visit the DC monuments, some of the Smithsonian museums in DC, or Mount 
Vernon which is just about 12 miles away (maybe a $30 cab ride split 
between whoever goes). While I enjoyed visiting Mount Vernon recently, 
it was quite hot the day I visited, so be prepared to check the weather 
and to be exposed to significant heat and sun.

We'll see you soon!

P.S. Rumor has it we secured meeting space at the hotel for Sunday. It's 
a smaller room than the Saturday room, but bigger than the LPHQ basement.
P.P.S. Rumor has it the proposed new "Torch Eagle" logo is leading in 
the survey responses received so far. Tell your friends to FedEx or fax 
their response forms and contributions IMMEDIATELY if they still want to 
affect the results before the LNC meets.
