I finally got my schedule in Boston nailed down. The Salem meetup will happen Sunday afternoon, July 22nd, starting at 12:30. I expect to go aboard the ship around 1. I'll be wearing a USS Iowa hat, and probably an Iowa shirt, too. I'd appreciate having a rough headcount, but if you happen to find yourself available at the last minute, feel free to come.
I had a great time there. Thanks to Chris and Sam for coming, and I look forward to the next time I get to do this.

Planning to be there.
I look forward to it. Given the response rate, feel free to bring a friend or two.
I'll be there! Also, having been on a bean tour of the USS Iowa, I'd 100% recommend joining him for the Salem tour. I can confirm that he's just as thorough in real life as he is on the blog.
I probably won't be able to be quite as through on the Salem. The Iowa tour was the result of a year of practice, whereas my preparation for this was reading the relevant Friedman. But I think I'll do ok.
Sister Bean will be wearing green pants and a pink rain jacket. She should be easy to see.
I did find myself available at the last minute, so I'm on my way...should be there by 1.
Excellent. I'm looking forward to it despite the weather.
