to Local-djangocon, Thomas W. Crenshaw, Edgar Roman
Greetings from PBS,
I have arranged for a tour of the PBS conference facilities to be considered as a potential location for the DjangoCon sprint sessions.

Some of the particulars are still being worked out within PBS but we are excited by the proximity to the conference location and look forward to participating.

If you have any specific questions, please feel free to email me off-list (thomasc...@gmail.com or twcre...@pbs.org)

My apologies for the late notice. If there is enough interest I can either reschedule or hold a 2nd tour.

PBS
2100 Crystal Drive
Arlington, VA. 222022

Yellow line, Crystal City stop. Let me know if you would like CC underground directions.

I intend to be there tomorrow.
Can you post the underground directions? 
Also, what is the parking situation for anyone who might be driving?

Urgh. Too short notice for me. If there's another tour with more lead time, I'll try to make that. Thanks!

How does this work (or not) for other people who are interested in going? (Please speak up.)
I would prefer to have one group tour, then two separate tours. 
The strength of reviewing the space together is the conversation that happens during the walk through. 
I am would be open to reschedule if that seems to be the collective voice.

Directions to PBS from metro (via tunnels):
- Take first escalator up after turnstiles
- Don't take second escalator to street level, instead turn left into the tunnel system
- Keep following tunnels around until you see signs for Shops at 2100 (PBS is above this building)
- Elevator is down the hall opposite from Au Bon Pain
- You should see a few signs saying "PBS this way -->"
- PBS lobby will be right in front of you

Here's a map (PBS is in the orange section, 2100 Crystal Drive):

There are a few visitor parking places in front of (technically behind) the PBS main lobby.

Hello
If more people from the list would like to come by and take a look, just let me know and I will work to coordinate a time.  I generally have availability between 12 and 2 but it varies day-to-day.

Tom
