The blogging/podcasting meetup is open to everyone, but one has to pay a lot more to attend the AAS meeting if one is not an member of AAS. If you are curious about registration, the AAS website has more information. Becoming a member of AAS requires Nomination by two current members, which generally requires that one be working in the field.
