Science & Engineering festival in Washington, DC this weekend

Stop by and visit the SpaceX photo booth with your family, too. Here's us from yesterday.

Oh, that is SO damned cool. As a child of the Apollo era, Elon Musk's work really excites me.
I was just down in DC a few weeks ago to catch a Judas Priest concert at the Anthem and I walked from the train station to the Air and Space museum, spent a few hours, then walked over to the concert hall.
Neat town.

Great! Actually I’m wearing a white NeXT t-shirt and have a PocketCHIP hanging out of my pocket. Still on the drive.

Cool, remind those OS9 troglodytes where the first decent Mac OS originally came from. Maybe Job wasn't that big a knob after all.

That sounds like fun. I originally wanted to attend one concert near NYC and then use Amtrak to catch the DC concert the next day. I should have done it (it wouldn't have cost me more than an additional $150).
And the region from NYC through Pholadelphia, Baltimore and then DC is all reasonably accessible via train or bus.
Makes it easier to get around. Transport isn't always as affordable as some European destinations. And lodging...well your sleeping bad in the Park makes sense to me because the price of a "cheap" NYC hotel room isn't good and it was probably safer.
Oh and the fixation on empty containers, great "revenue enhancer", isn't it?
