Greetings,
I received an interesting email from Carolyn Porco about SpaceFest 2009. I'm considering attending perhaps. This is a combination of Unmanned and Manned spaceflight. It is in San Diego in February. Is anyone from UMSF planning to go? http://www.spacefest.info/ Steve |

Lots of posts about Autographs deleted. Totally off topic for the thread, and the forum.

I am hoping to be there as well, at least for part of it. Can't afford the golf bit

Just wanted to announce that the schedule's up. I'll be at JPL Friday so I'll miss a couple good talks (I know, feel sorry for me or something...) but I'll definitely be there all day Saturday, especially to see my boss talk.

Thanks for the heads up!
Anybody else coming into town? We should plan a UMSF get together - maybe some Magaritas in Old Town? Didn't get the tickets for the "celebrity" dinner parties.... Gonna be some tough decisions on Friday for the talks. -------------------- Lyford Rome

If we are identifying ourselves as UMSF, though, we need to keep our conversations on topic!! Maybe we should wear hats that we can don or doff in case we stray out of acceptable areas!

Good grief; what's that drink called, 'Rehab In A Cup'???

For those who are fans of biologically-infested spaceflight, the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation has just opened up reservations for the November 6-8 2009 autograph and memorabilia show at KSC. Only $1000 for a Platinum Plus pass!! Stick around until Nov 12 and you might see a biologically-infested space vehicle lift off from Pad 39A.
I'll be there, too! This is my year to take space tours! -------------------- Jonathan Ward

Whoo hoo, next week!
And did anyone else get an e-mail from them today? Is it *really* $10 for *each* talk on Saturday? 'Cause that pretty much means I can't to any.

hello!
I'm a student at the University of Toronto, Canada & I'll be attending the conference with another female student. (we're part of the Astronomy & Space Society there: http://asx.sa.utoronto.ca/). We'll be staying at the Town & Country resort from Feb 19-23 are looking for 1 or more people with whom we can share the room to split the cost. If anyone is interested or might know someone who is, please let me know as soon as you can, preferably before the morning of Feb 17th. Thank you & see you there! Niv |

Looks like we will have a few UMSF'ers in attendance! Who's up for a meetup in Old Town or the Gaslamp? Old Town is near the hotel - probably best for those without cars. What's best - Friday or Saturday night for everyone?
And dare we bring our 3d glasses?
