Hi Mike,
Thanks for the report. If you had wandered just across the NS strip onto
the east side (south end like you), you would have found a beehive of about
a dozen ASU people socializing and sharing views in various telescopes. I
think we were one of the higher density exceptions to the rule.

and what I should do different next time.
3) My expectations of what a âstar partyâ was like were incorrect.
Everyone was spread out over a huge area. I didnât see very many people get
together to socialize. There seemed to be 3 or 4 groups that mostly kept to
themselves. Maybe everyone came together Saturday evening for the raffle
and chili and I just missed out.
But I survived and learned some stuff so it was a successful trip for me.
Just not quite in the way I was hoping. :-)
