This Week

I will be traveling this week to attend the US Naval Institute History Conference discussing piracy, among many other activities. For those in the greater DC area, there will be a meet and greet happy hour on Thursday at 1730. If you are interested in attending, you can shoot me an email and I'll disclose the location in private. While it is an open invite to all blog readers, I wanted to do it this way so I can insure I have some idea of how many people are coming. About 1/5 of my total weekly audience, around 4000 unique readers, live in the greater DC area so this might get interesting.

If only 1% of that regional audience shows up, that's 40 folks, so I'm trying to be respectful of the establishment we are meeting at by getting a count just in case more than 1% attends. If 10% shows up... well, given this is a naval centric audience I imagine a few kegs might go float.

The blog will be mostly running on autopilot this week. There are some articles I have planned to run just in case I don't spend much time writing while on this trip, although I suspect I will be writing quite a bit - including some coverage of the History Conference at the US Naval Institute blog.
