[Re: ido]       #4554190 - 04/30/11 10:00 PM Edit   Reply   Quote Quick Reply   So I've been thinking about this since it all started and I read an article about someone who was doing outreach by a pier back east. I was thinking it might be fun to ask the local safeway -- or better yet, movie theater -- if I could set up and show folks some brighter things in the sky. Something like a guide, tips, or other ideas for places to do outreach might be interesting to ponder as well. Any thoughts?
