Looky here.
Make your plans, warm your pizza, make sure your new eye pieces are pre-ordered and well tested BEFORE the big weekend.
And bring a camera.

And we could use them to could build a colorful, edible wind screen (unless Scott brings the prayer flags).

He did not bring prayer flags last weekend and left like a bat out of hell. What's up with that?
We had too much food, not enough seeing and barely enough water. I'm going to travel a bit lighter and toying with the idea of renting an RV. Maybe do two nights.

Ate what I could at AAMM 07. Who'd'a thought free food would have so little appeal?

I was not real impressed with the pizza - then again, we usually order it with onions and mushrooms. 
I would really like to have a rebuilt scope for the fall. The beast is getting heavy.

I had a slice of pizza. The pepperoni slices were certainly round, and cheese was a delightful shade of yellow.

I regret not eating any of the raspberry loaf that Tom brought. Ron's pizza was closer!

I'm only an early posting bird for winter Arizona star parties. 
Actually there is a good chance I might be back again next March- should I start the All Arizona Messier Marathon 2008 discussion group? Naaa, we'll let the good vibes from this year become pleasant memories first.

Winter!?  It was 102 degrees that afternoon and you called that winter?!
Now the up coming shindig, being in October, should see us out of the 100's and into the 80-90's.
Cross your fingers.

Shouldn't we wait to see if there'll be a monsoon, before celebrating its end?
