Always good to meet new people, and you'll meet plenty at BEOTS! A 12.5 inch is a great size for y'all to have started with, you'll have a blast with it.

I'll be in on that Friday, Scotty boy. Don't have the info right here handy (I'm still in New Hampshire helping my mom and stepdad), but I'll get there early/mid afternoon, I believe. 2ish.

Oh duh, it's on my Blackberry. Flight lands in Cleveland at 12:30. So, get bag, get car, drive there. 2ish is still about right from what I remember of the drive.

And I'm flying out on Monday, I knew you guys wouldn't mind me staying over an extra night.

Should I bring the Margarita mix and Tequila?

Amy will be at a conference that weekend and she has given me the go ahead to head on up. I am hoping to head up early (on Thursday).

I will be bringing the 12.5" scope.

Jason will be fighting mightily to defend his title I'm sure.

We just got this PM:

BEOTS 6/22: "Youze bees comin' roight?"

Marge, Seti, Saba and me(sic) have to decline the invite for this years BEOTS. We're not happy about it however we realize there will be more opportunities in the future. We had a wonderful time last year and we can only imagine what we'll miss this year.

As a suggestion for the Tweener Cup contest....the winner ought to be the third person to place M81 and 82 in the same field of view. Third, cause anybody can be first or second, timing is everything in being third!

We will look for daily/hourly posts of pictures during the star party, "roight"?

Steve
