"Come early and stay late at NEAF 2008" is exactly what I was discussing with Tom! It's a catchy phrase, Alan...

I was thinking about having NEAF start but never end this year! I could keep everyone very busy for a month or two. I think I need a bigger Home to put up all the friends and guests coming this year! Looking forward to seeing you both again .

No dome this year mark. But the rest will be much like last year. I'll get there a little earlier this time.

I think I may have talked my astronomy-loathing wife into taking the NEAF trip with me. Of course I'll need to mix in some non-astronomy excursion on the trip to appease her! I don't think she wants me to come alone with my credit card.

I have a bunch of frequent flyer miles, and a trip to NEAF could be fun. Looking at the map, I can't tell where the heck I would fly into in order to attend? Westchester County? Anyone have any advice? The metro NYC airports (and westchester) are expensive as heck for car rentals.

I looking forward to NEAF. My some will be bumming if the Wifey goes cause that mean the sports car has to stay home. The 2 seater have also always heled me not spend to much money as there is limited space to bring things home.

Stands for "Nearly Everyone Acts Foolish" when they've left the Televue booth first thing in the morning. It truly is the candy store for adults. My wife's a Psychologist and she fully understands the "rush" I get when I pull into the parking lot at NEAF.

Thanks!!!!!!
