Hi Everyone,
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. The place isn't set in stone, but we're thinking may the Iron Cactus downtown (the bar and grill within walking of the convention center - Anyone in Austin willing to do some footwork? Checking out if the Iron Cactus has a room and making reservations or similar?) Time is Tuesday at 8pm. We'd love to get some general sense of how many people are interested. If you are thinking of going, can you please pipe up? Cheers, Pamela Last edited by PamelaGay; 22-December-2007 at 04:52 AM. |

I'm an hour south of Austin - near New Braunfels. I'll go! Neverfly - I'm going to have to get some really good directions.

Hi Neverfly, Thanks! There is also a little bit of discussion over on my blog about this. If you could coordinate something for us, it would make us amazingly happy! Our on real concern is that the under 21 among us (specifically Astro Cast's producer, Rebecca) can get in, and that we have room for this to bloat. If you want to pm me your email or phone number, we can chat offline.
And it sounds like there will be folks willing to help! |

I have a special filter for such eventualities.

I'm too far for a visit too, but I hope you document the whole event and post lots of pictures for us fans from afar.

Hi Everyone,
It's on. It's the Iron Cauctus. Here's some footwork that would be awesome for someone to do: - Balloons with little "Astronomy Cast" signs attached or something cooler so that people can find us in the bar. - Getting there early to claim space - Making the weather warm and clear so we can use the roof deck ![]() If you want to get your own Astronomy Cast T-Shirt, you can get them on Zazzle here: http://www.zazzle.com/pd/find?qs=starstryder (fully customizable clothing with our logo designed for white or black apparel). Thanks! |

The head count appears to be now at 24: 14 here counting the big team (fab four master casters), 7 from Pamela's blog, and 3 that are with me.
Has anyone notified the other AAS (Austin Astronomy Society )?
