"Astronomy Cast and the Bad Astronomer his bad self are planning to have meetup for all you wonderful fans and friends out there who will be at the AAS meeting or who feel like driving to Austin."
Is the AAS meeting open to anyone, or is it restricted to professional astronomers or AAS members? Austin is too far for me, and I have other commitments, but I am curious about the general policy for interested people who may want to attend the meeting. |

It is open- not restricted.
I think it would be helpful- for those who are planning to attend if there was a singular spot (with a link?) where everyone can look for all details- name list of who's going (headcount) etc... What preparations have already been taken care of - what times- the map- etc... Right now it seems kinda hodge podge ![]() I personally, don't know who's blog is where or what anyway (although I'll most likely not be there) and I think that it would probably easier to have an accurate headcount and less confusion if there was one good spot where everyone can confer. |

Any new things that pop-up in the blogs, hopefully, will get reported here. I am not always current with all three of them. Other than a place, food, cash bar, and a microphone, nothing else that I am aware of is being done. Does anyone have ideas for decorations? Astronomy Cast balloons for directions was a good idea someone mentioned.

looks like good weather. 21C is nice enough to go outside with short sleeves.

Just for reference, I may be bringing 2-3 more people.

Great.
Because of the very nice turn-out that is now expected (up to ~60), the event has moved to the prestigious rooftop area of the Iron Cactus. If there happens to be folks in the Mezzanine, though unlikely, it ain't us. The rooftop is a much larger area and we may be able to seat everyone. It has a retractable roof/covering, though not a dome with doors. ![]() Weather is suppose to be very clear, and the temperature should be about 60F. We aim to please!

thanks for the weather report. it's hard to believe being that it's so cloudy now, but 28 hours is plenty to change around here.

We could have 28 changes between now and then, but it is favorable for the "then".

Just checked into the hotel. Going over to the conference center in a bit to register. Hope to see people around!

I hate all of you.
Sorry, that just spilled out. I'm stuck in Houston and can't be there. Oh, well, have fun... and have a Brave Bull for me.
