They did that last year. In the daylight. 
Which begs the question; will they allow folks to linger in the dark hours?

Don't think it's very dark in the middle of town... but it is very light in the daytime...

It's not quite as bad as you might think- the low humidity makes light pollution less effective. The bigger problem will be the moon.
However, this reminds me- what if we had a sort of "Vendor star party?"

That's what I was thinking. What better way to sell a scope than to let attendees try them out under the stars?

That's it exactly- and the other part is a chance to use what came. I kind of have the feeling these events are just a burden on vendors, regardless of what the return it. It would be nice to do something they could really have fun with, too.

Awww, I love listening to Dr. Filippenko on "The Universe" and "How the Universe Works". Had I had more teachers like him, I would have probably finished college.
OK Alan, I might have to try and pull this year off.
Me too, Matt! Had to cancel at the last minute first time.

Cool Alan, great speakers! How about Mike Brown (CalTech)? He's the guy who killed Pluto and discovered several dwarf planets, including Eris (Pluto's nemesis) and Sedna. He's an active prof at CalTech so his teaching schedule may get in the way. And he may be expensive - don't know. Just a thought.

I'm expecting maybe 180 degree AFV eyepieces, or something on the order of intelligent alien life forms. Please Alan, intelligent life forms! We need it badly.
