Cypherpunks: A January 1997 physical DC Cypherpunks meeting will be held at GRC International, Inc., in Vienna, Virginia, on Saturday, 18 January. Directions to GRCI, including a couple of spiffy-neato maps, are available at: http://www.grci.com/overview/locations/vienna/ If you're in town for the inauguration (yes, it's the following Monday), then stop by and check out the East Coast "punks" contingent. Meeting starts at 1400 hours (2:00 PM). You will be entering a secured facility and will have to endure the usual rigors of being badged, exchanging pleasantries with the guard, and being limited to "requires escort" status. So, allow a few minutes extra before the meeting starts. Agenda includes a presentation by Carl Ellison, Senior Systems Engineer from CyberCash, Inc. Ad-hoc additions are welcome - show up with your presentation materials and you're automatically added to the agenda. We even have a historical crypto-relevant door prize to be given away at the meeting! (Assuming you can haul it home <g>) GRCI is located at the corner of Gallows Road and Boone Blvd, about two miles north of the Dunn-Loring Metro station on the western end of the orange line. As solicitations for rides haven't appeared (yet) on the list, the assumption is that they're being coordinated off-list at the moment. If your ride fails you and you're stuck at the Metro on Saturday, the phone number for where we'll be meeting is 703.506.4951. We can try to beg you a ride from some gracious punk with wheels. The front desk is 703.506.5000 or 4000, is there's no answer downstairs. If you show up late for the meeting and there's nobody there to sign you in, you'll have to have the guard call us. We'll be downstairs in the "lower level conference room." Just say those words and s/he'll know where we are. S/he can then call and someone will come up to get you. Post-meeting world-problem-solving and beer-swilling activities can be undertaken in any of the numerous suitable locations in and about the illustrious Tyson's Corner locale. We'll coordinate at the end of the meeting. Hope to see y'all this Saturday! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |I want to die peacefully, | Mark Aldrich | |like my Granddad did. | GRCI INFOSEC Engineering | |Not in sheer terror, | maldrich@grci.com | |like his passengers did. | MAldrich@dockmaster.ncsc.mil| |_______________________________________________________________________| |The author is PGP Empowered.
