Subject: Announcement: Cypherpunks meeting/party/BBQ, Tim May's house
To: cypherpunks@lne.com
From: Tim May
ANNOUNCEMENT: Cypherpunks Meeting and Party/BBQ, Saturday, September
14th, 2002. Tim May's house, Corralitos, California.
* WHAT?: Ten years ago this month the first Cypherpunks meeting.
Cypherpunks meeting and party. Several interesting talks are planned,
though nothing of the usual "political action" sort. A flexible
agenda will be posted at the meeting. I am hoping we can have as
stimulating a discussion as we had at our first meetings a decade ago.
* WHEN?: Saturday, September 14th, 1 p.m. to "late." (A limited
amount of people can stay overnight--ask me about it.) Formal talks
will probably run for several hours, then the informal and BBQ/party
takes over. People can arrive as early as 1 p.m. and hang out, but
the formal agenda will start promptly at 2.
* WHERE?: Tim May's house in Corralitos, east of Santa Cruz and north
of Watsonville. 427 Allan Lane, Corralitos. Detailed driving
instructions at the end of this message...or use one of the many
mappers on the Net. It takes about an hour to get from Sunnyvale to
my house, about 40 miles, so plan your travel accordingly.
* WHO?: Cypherpunks and friends who are not narcs or Feds. Contrary
to some meetings in the past, this is NOT an "open meeting, open to
all." That strategy worked OK for some meetings in public places
where certain kinds of software were to be distributed. But my house
is a private residence. I have nothing against legitimate cops
enforcing legitimate laws, but I don't want persecutors traipsing
through my house, perhaps planting evidence, looking for signs of
illegal activities or grounds for a warrant, etc. This is a PRIVATE
RESIDENCE and I intend to escort to the door anyone who is unknown to
others. If you are a lurker who doesn't know anybody and you want to
attend, send me e-mail and we'll arrange something.
* WHAT ELSE?: Parking may be tight. And because of the distance,
carpooling with your friends would be good. A cat lives in the
house...don't leave any doors open, and tell me if you see him get out.
* CHILDREN?: My house is not child-friendly, and I don't have time to
make sure nothing dangerous is exposed. Please leave children out of
this meeting/party.
* FOOD: If you stay for the evening BBQ and party, bring something to
share. Don't everyone bring a bag of chips! The Corralitos Market is
a popular place for meats, sausages, etc. (Don't everyone bring
sausages, either!) And if you drink, remember the drive home.
--Tim May (location instructions below)
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.

Hi there,
I am a reporter at Wired News. We received notice of the upcoming
Cypherpunks 10th anniversary bash. I am thinking of writing a short
article about the history and current status of the cypherpunk community.
Obviously, things have changed a lot in the last 10 years. I imagine
that you and other cypherpunks would have much to say on the topic.
Please feel free to rant and rave to me about whatever you feel would
be relevant to this kind of article.
When did the Cypherpunks come into existence? Who were the founding
members? What was the inital purpose? What kinds of people are involved?
Who (socially, I mean, not names!) exactly are the members of the
group? How many at any one time? Is it a rotating membership, with
people coming and going?
There has been a substantial amount of press dedicated to the
Cypherpunks, what's been the community response?
Have their been internal discussions about the repercussions of the
media's involvement and the like?
Wired News had a very familiar relationship with the cypherpunks -
has it been viewed as a positive thing?
Have the ideals of the group changed over the years?
Are there any manifestos or official statements from the group that I
can access?
What are the future plans for the cypherpunks?
I attempted to access cypherpunks.com but most of the links are dead,
why isn't anyone maintaining it? Or is it unrelated to the current community?
With whom else are the cypherpunks allied?
What do you, personally, have to say about the future of the
Internet, privacy, legislation, hacking, phreaking, cyber terrorism,
the governement. etc?
And finally, who else should I be talking to?
Thanks for your time. I am hoping to get the story done before the
end of next week (i.e., before the actual party.) Of course, I would
never publish the location of the party or any other information that
you don't feel comfortable about.
Danit Lidor
I am also available at 415.276.3925. Please leave me a message if I'm
away from my desk. I am more than happy to call you back.
