(CCing PA and NY Wikimedians; please come!)

As you are hopefully aware by now, since it is in the geonotice and I have spammed talk pages, this Saturday, the National Archives will be hosting us for a backstage pass tour and editathon. We have lots of space, and we could have up to 40 people! So far, only 2 people have signed up as sure yeses, which is a bit sad. :-( If you can possibly come, please do! Don't feel like you need to come for the whole day if you can't/don't want to. If you are afraid you may have trouble getting to College Park without a car, we can make arrangements to make sure you get here, too.

 

There's a bit of a conflict here. When you say "If you are afraid you may have trouble getting to College Park without a car, we can make arrangements to make sure you get here, too," it looks as if there is no public transportation to the place and you're thinking "carpool." But in that case, I'd be tied to the schedule of whoever is operating the car I'd be riding in, and my schedule would be a lot more rigidly constrained than is implied by "Don't feel like you need to come for the whole day if you can't/don't want to." So, unless there is a regular public bus (or train), operated by Metro or The Bus, I would have to beg off.
