I do not know whether this will be the case at the Library of Congress reception tomorrow, but I would bring your passport just to make sure. Let's make sure there's no one standing outside and blocked from this event. To restate the directions from the Wikimedia DC folks again: * If you will not arrive to Washington, DC in time to pick up your badge but would still like to attend the reception, please email [email protected] with your name and affiliation, and we will make sure you will be to attend. And please remember to add your name on the event's page, as having an accurate headcount will help us with preparations: http://wikimania2012.wikimedia.org/wiki/Google_Reception Please note that all guests musts go through Library of Congress security to enter the venue, and, as such, we strongly suggest that you leave large bags and laptops at your hotel/hostel/home. Doing so will make going through security a much faster and smoother process and will give you more time to enjoy the event. *
