(and also to laugh at the *lunatics* who thought the world was going to end) maybe for a special touch, have an "ancient Mayan" (or someone dressed as one) asking if anyone can lend him a stone tablet - because he ran out of space on the previous one ;) ----- Original Message ----- From: Mary Ahlefeld To: pasmembers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, October 26, 2012 8:50 AM Subject: [pasmembers] Re: discussion about End of year star party First, I can't be there the 15th. That said, if the theme of the party is the end of the year (world?) the sky didn't end either so we look at what's there or stay inside and discuss the kooks that are scratching their heads wondering why they're still here! Or we can wait till after after the first of the year when the sky is darker, sort of anti-climactic though.... dar From: Terri To: PAS ListServ Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2012 12:21 PM Subject: [pasmembers] discussion about End of year star party Good morning PAS Members, Let's take a look at December for a moment. Dec 8 we have an Antenna's event and a Paid star party. Dec 15 is another Antenna's event. Dec 22, the moon is very large, and it is suggested that we move this date at Mike's to Dec 15. So, if I move the public star party that is currently on Dec 22 to Dec 15, who is attending the Dec 15 event at Mike's and who is attending the Dec 15 event at Antenna's? I'd like some input before I move these around. The purpose of the Dec 22 event was to have a public event that was a star party (but the moon is way too bright for a great party) saying WE ARE STILL HERE, because we all know that Dec 21 is not the end of the world. So, having the event on Dec 22 would make sense, based on the Mayan Calendar. However, for the Moon, the event doesn't work out that great. So, I'm looking for input. Do we skip the Dec 22 event and celebrate on our own at our own homes, or do we move it to the 15th, which doesn't work out as a WE ARE STILL HERE party. Your input is requested. Let's discuss this. I"m open for what ever the majority suggests. Have a super Thursday Terri, Event Coordinator for PAS Good friends are like stars. You don't always see them, but you always know they are there.
