Just a heads-up; the tentative dates for next year's BFSP are September 14-16.

Kinda figured those would be the dates. I’m glad that I went in 2011 when it was in August. I’m never available for going in September since I spend that month in the Adirondacks. So I’ll be scratching BFSP off my 2012 list of astro-events and will probably be in Cherry Springs in October.

I hope there aren't any problems with the plumbing this time around.

BFSP is updating how many registrations they have left pretty often. As of June 27th, 194 people have registered, 281 spots left. I mailed mine in last week!

There are currently 203 spots left. Registration typically wraps up within the 2-3 weeks before the event. Spots are probably going to go quickly over the next couple of weeks, so get your registration in as soon as possible.

Woolies indeed. Last night the temperature thirty miles north of Cherry Springs was in the mid forties.

I like it cool. The September night skies are clearer, longer, darker, and.. No skeeters! Woolies, long johns, and therma-care packs are standard equipment.

I plan to be there, if my registration, sent on Friday, beats the rush.

No wonder the bugs didn't bother me. They were pestering you.
