Last Minute Comments: * Meeting/BBQ/Party at Tim May's house, Saturday, September 14th, 1 p.m. onwards. Formal agenda to start promptly at 2 p.m. * I've had a lot of confirmations (not required, except for lurkers and strangers) from a lot of people, so PARKING is OFFICIALLY BECOMING A PROBLEM. I live at the top of a hill serviced by a one-lane road going from the valley floor up several hundred feet to my driveway above. I have had parties where about 15 cars were in one of several places: -- my own parking lot, handling about 4-5 cars besides my own 2. -- my driveway, handling about 4-6 more cars, depending on whether they block others! -- the side of the road at the very top of the hill, handling 3-5 other cars -- the rest, I'm not sure where they parked! * Those who arrive earliest will of course get the best parking, but may also get hemmed in (blocked) by later arrivals. (FILO) * OK, so you've again been warned. TRY TO CARPOOL. Twelve cars carrying 2-3 people each will give us a normal 20-30 person attendance. Twenty or thirty cars will be a disaster. * About 8 people, counting couples, have contacted me about sleeping space. The two spare bedrooms are spoken for, and the sofas are spoken for. For those who still want to stay over, there's some space on the floor. Be sure if you think you might stay to bring a sleeping bag or blankets, etc. Also, you may need to go out and move your car around if others are blocked. * Directions again follow. * Several interesting talks are expected...more can be done ad hoc. In addition, I hope we can talk about meaty issues of where things are going, besides just the usual griping about new laws. Cypherpunks write code. I look forward to seeing you there! --Tim Getting to Tim May's house in Corralitos: 427 Allan Lane (MapQuest works well). 831-728-0152 From Santa Cruz, south on Highway 1. Take Freedom Boulevard exit in Aptos. Go inland, on Freedom Blvd. Travel about 5 miles, to first stop sign. Take a left on Corralitos Road. At the the next stop sign, the Corralitos Market (good sausages!) will be on your left. Just before the stop sign, bear right on Brown's Valley Road. Cross bridge and then bear left as Brown's Valley Road turns. Travel about one mile to Allan Lane, on the right. Allan Lane is at about the "360" mailbox point on Brown's Valley Road...if you go too far and enter the redwoods, turn back! Drive to top of hill on Allan Lane. At top, bear left, over a small rise, past a house on the left, then down my driveway. My house will be the white stucco semi-Spanish style, with a red Explorer and black Mercedes in the driveway. Note for parties: You can park either in my driveway or at the top of the hill and walk a few hundred feet. Don't block any driveways! From points south of Santa Cruz, take Green Valley Road exit off of Highway 1. Travel about 2 miles to Freedom Boulevard. Turn left. Then right at Corralitos Road.
