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

rom-last-year>  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.
