Friday is fine with me. In fact, I have no trouble accommodating almost any night -- one of the benefits of retirement.

The night of the 16th is a star party at Wheeler Farm, the next night it's at SPOC. Public star parties are never scheduled on weekends closest to the new moon. I usually have Fridays off, so that day works for me, but if Rich (and others with longish drives) is planning on attending, Saturday might be better. We could have lunch first, then those who want to grab a cigar and/or beer can break away afterwards. You know, I actually find myself looking forward to this first meeting of the Liver & Onions committee.

Hi all, Which day was before an event at SLAS? Or were both? I'm OK with any day except a new moon, and June 12 we have something going.

What day of the two I suggested works best? I'll even take a personal day if needed and I have this much advance notice. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy(a)mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.slas.us/gallery2/main.php Visit the Wiki: http://www.utahastronomy.com

Hello SLAS, Can somebody please contact the keeper of the SLAS official logo and have the person email to me address: iamthedarkranger(a)gmail.com ...a high resolution (vector art if possible) version of the SLAS logo that will print well on a black background. We need it ASAP for our really cool glow-in-the-dark T-shirts for the Bryce Astronomy Festival as well as our posters. PLEASE hurry. thanks! - Kevin Poe -- By the 3rd millennium, the reckless use of light nearly vanquished the night.

To do the downtown is proper style you need to stop by Jeanie's Smoke Shop to pick up a cigar, the repair to Galvan Plaza to smoke it (if that's still legal), and finally stop at Murphy's for a pint of Guinness. Who knows, You might see Bob Kirby on the corner thumbing through the latest issue of City Weekly. This is what I do at least once a year.

OK, how about the LIVER & ONIONS fans having lunch at Lamb's Cafe on either July 16th or 17th (Friday or Saturday) before attending the corresponding SLAS star party that night?

SLAS unofficial Liver and Onions committee. Members are self-appointed, self-annointed. Rich, Joe, do we have a lunch date? Anyone else of sufficiently sophisticated pallete?

Re: [Utah-astronomy] Life Out There

Just a follow up to some online looking on this topic I did that led me to a few articles. I didn't realize that there were some very notable scientists/astronomers who are against sending signals into space and broadcasting that here we are. Should we do as Carl Sagan suggested and just listen since we are the newbie out there? Do we want to invite other worlds to our world and would that be wise? Anyway, I just thought the argument was intriguing to some degree. Here are the articles: http://lifeboat.com/ex/shouting.at.the.cosmos http://www.independent.co.uk/opinion/commentators/meet-the-neighbours-is-th… http://seedmagazine.com/content/article/who_speaks_for_earth/?page=all&p=y

"You can tell him it's the Salt Lake Gag-stronomical Society, in my opinion," said Cory when I read Chuck's great response.

Ditto on the moon. Cory and I noticed it while walking last night.
