Just a quick note to go with the list of Planetarium shows Ron is offering
this month...
The Laser show of "Dark Side of the Moon" was very good.
I totally enjoyed it! It didn't make me dizzy, as most laser shows in AZ
Science Center planetarium do, and the music was, of course awesome, and
Ron was fantastic and it is well worth a trip to go see this planetarium
show!
Please also note that Ron does this for free. If you can help out by
donating to his cause and putting a little money into his tip jar, that
would be appreciated so he can continue to provide free shows to everyone.
Remember, electricity isn't free. And Ron's time is worth more than what he
is receiving (doing events for free). I just want to help him out so he
continues to offer these shows.
The other thing is that i really want eveyrone to know that it is not only
required that you RSVP to attend these shows, but please, be courteous
enough to let Ron know if you need to cancel attendance. He has had a few
shows where no one has showed up, but there have been RSVP's and to have
prepared for the show, and made sure everything was ready for the show, I
know how he feels when no one shows up. So, if you RSVP to attend, and then
need to cancel, call him, let him know... don't leave him guessing you are
attending or not. The other thing is that once everyone is there, who
RSVP'd, he starts the show. We had to wait this last time because a couple
people who RSVP'd never showed up, and so the show started 1/2 hour later
than it was supposed to. If youa re on a schedule and trying to fit in a
Planetarium show between other activities for that day, it is rough to stay
on schedule if people aren't prompt and on time to his shows.
The other thing is, once 3pm comes and the start of the show has begun,
please do not enter the planetarium and blast everyone's eyes with bright
light. That is totally uncool and rude. Arrive at least 5 minutes early,
even up to 15 minutes before show time, to be sure to get a good seat and
let your eyes adjust to the dark before the show begins. And if you are
running late, call Ron to let him know.
Once the show has begun, there is a sign outside the door and the door is
locked that says "do not enter, show in progress." I suggest you are not
late arriving so that you can enjoy the show, too.
Everyone have a spectacular day!
Terri, Event Manager
Reminder: All Planetarium shows by Ron are RSVP through Ron. See the Forum
Threads for his phone number and address, and RSVP is Required as seating
at his planetarium is limited.

ooOPS, THAT SENT before i was ready to send it.
Here's the email received today:
I just read in the paper that July was cooler then last year. You could
have fooled me. Perhaps getting older has let the heat affect me more then
it used to. Perhaps I could hibernate through the summer and come out
later in say October. But looking outside today it is overcast and only 85
degrees at 10:30 in the morning. I see a rainy period forecast for the
first week this month. This helps keep the temperature down but doesn't do
much for viewing things astronomical. But in the planetarium all thing are
clear no matter how cloudy they might be outside. I remember a show last
year when hail came down so fast and heavy that the sound literally drowned
me out. I'm sure there were those that were grateful but all viewing the
show were treated to cool and clear skies.
That said, here are the shows for August:
Saturday, August 13th at 3 pm "Intro show and what's in the sky tonight".
Saturday, August 20th at 3 pm "Dark Side Of The Moon laser show".
Saturday, August 27th at 3 pm "Our Place In Space".
As usual, please RSVP with number of seats required, date, time, of show
requested. Please also remember that "The Star Barn" is a "primitive"
facility without bathroom facilities. Please plan accordingly.
Also if you no longer wish to receive these updates, just return an email
with "delete" in the subject line and you will be banished forever.
Also if you reserve seats for a show and can't make it, please cancel by
the day before. It is no fun setting up for a show and then having no one
come.

Good morning PAS Members,
Ron asked me to make his Planetarium shows private, again. He had a
situation over the last month where he didn't feel safe with having the
public at his home, so Planetariums shows are for PAS Members and their
immediate families. If you wish to invite a friend, be sure you do the RSVP
and that you attend with them. So, bring a friend you trust, but don't
invite and send them to the show by themselves. This is a request from Ron.
Here's the August line up of shows and the email from Ron about the
events. Put them on your calendar, then RSVP like usual, and please
remember, THERE ARE NO BATHROOM FACILITIES
