Pre-Dragon*Con Charity Star Party

[ottle]

The Atlanta Skeptics are sponsoring a star gazing party the day before Dragon*Con. Tickets are on sale here and are limited, so buy early!

The party is being hosted by Phil Plait and Pamela Gay and proceeds will go to the American Cancer Society in memory of Jeff Medkeff. Also, it should be a rockin good time.

People. Phil Plait and Pamela Frikkin' Gay. With telescopes. Fighting cancer.

How are y'all not excited about this?

 

[Wowbagger]

How are y'all not excited about this?

Oh, we are. It doesn't look that way, because our minds are paralyzed from all the excitement.

 

[Wowbagger]

How well are the tickets selling?
I just scarfed one up, myself, after giving lots of other folks the chance to do so, before me.

How are y'all not excited about this?

Oh, I am totally excited. But I will be 10,000 miles away at the time, since I can only afford one trip to the US per... lifetime... and TAM is it.

Who is Pamela Gay?

 

[Cleon]

Who is Pamela Gay?

Dr. Gay is an astrophysicist and podcaster, and all around really cool person.

 

[Phlebas]

Who is Pamela Gay?

You will love her three times as much as Rebecca and half as much as beer.

 

[Wowbagger]

I just goin' cause.... I got nothing better to do, that evening. This should at least pass the time, fairly well.

Well, gee, we're so honored that you're gracing us with your presence.

Cocktail attire? You mean like a suit?

 

[ottle]

Cocktail attire? You mean like a suit?

Nah. Nice shirt and pants are fine.

 

[brodski]

Nah. Nice shirt and pants are fine.

No trousers?

 

[Cleon]

No trousers?

Nobody wears trousers at American star parties. Man, your astronomers must be really boring.

 

[The Central Scrutinizer]

Nah. Nice shirt and pants are fine.

OK. This site says "cocktail attire" is a dark suit for guys.

 

[Wowbagger]

Wait a minute... we have to dress nicely for this thing?! Well, dang nab it!


Looks like not all of my clothes will be stuffed into tennis ball cans, this year.

Stop getting your information from the internet. It's always a trap.

 

[ottle]

For the record, ya'll can dress as nicely as you want. If you want to wear a suit, feel free; I'm sure some people will be. But show up in jeans or shorts and you'll feel my purple stilletos kicking your ass out almost immediately.

 

[Wowbagger]

Since it is space themed, anyway, perhaps I could wear my Spaceman Spiff outfit?
(which has been improved since the last time it went to D*C.) Pretty please?!

 

[ottle]

Bump.
