OK. Let's take a show of hands on the idea of joining the Vancouver Sidewalk Astronomers on Aug. 2 as this summer's MSHSP7.

If you support this date give us a 'yea'. If you'd like another date give us a 'nay'.

Is this now the "Official Jabber" thread or is conversation to be confined to the actual subject in the "title?"..and if so...which part of the title applies, the "Yep we're crazy" part -- or the MSHSP-7 part? (Hyphenations always screw me up!)

....whichever it is, cudja' lemme no?

We're Crazy! And crazy people talk outside established boundaries, last time I checked.

This is the serious thread. The jabber thread is the eterna-thread.

Hey, this is MY thread and I decide what goes here...We're crazy is first, followed by MSHSP7...and not necessarily in that order! Any seriousness will be dealt with swiftly and painlessly.


That goes for you too, Steph!

Looks like the Yeah's (Yea's) have it. I look forward to seeing you all at MSH on Aug 2nd.

For those interested there's also a trail work party up there on Saturday and Sunday. Obviously it's not mandatory but participants in the work party get the star party for free (vs. $15)

http://mshinstitute.org/2008-work-party-events
http://www.fs.fed.us/gpnf/volunteering/documents/2008August2and3FriendsoftheForestWeekend_002.pdf

I'll post more info as I get it.

I can't believe we have to *PAY* to go to our own star party. That's just not right!!!
