I just wanted to know if any other UMSFers are going to be in lovely Clear Lake, Texas for LPSC. I'll be there all week, Monday through the middle of Friday. While I don't think there'll be enough of us to generate our own party, perhaps we can plan to all attend one of the various social gatherings and meet up and raise a glass to Doug.

I'm not sure when or where the parties are yet, but they'll be late because they've really packed the schedule following the sessions this year. Here's what's happening in the evenings:
Sunday 5 pm: Registration/Reception
Monday 5 pm: We get to watch the NASA HQ sacrificial lamb get stoned to death by the meeting attendees, i.e. "NASA Headquarters briefing," followed by the "Student/Scientist Reception" from 6 to 8 (free food, I think)
Tuesday 5:30 pm: Special session on the Phoenix landing site, followed by poster session at 7 pm
Wednesday 5:30 pm: Special meeting on "Return to the moon," followed by Cocktail Hour and Buffet Dinner from 6 to 9:30
Thrsday 5:30 pm: Special session on Planetary cartography (Phil??) followed by poster session at 7 pm

So it'll be busy but we've got to have some fun. I'd just like to see a show of hands of who else may be there, then we can talk here after we start arriving in Houston and we figure out when and where the various parties are, and where we should raise the UMSF flag. Well, I don't have a flag, but at least I have a T-shirt.
