[AZ-Observing] Re: Spacefest in Mesa Continues Sunday

I would have liked to go to this to meet a couple of notables I have =
interest in, specifically Gen Cardenas.

I was put off by the incredible amounts of money that were being asked =
for autographs.  My respect drops dramatically for these people.
