Great work, Jenn, and good luck. I have every confidence in you. I'd like to
avoid charging for a lecture, too, and it seems Charlie is concerned about our
budget, so get with him and be careful.
Alex Filippenko is a WONDERFUL speaker! I've seen him twice at the High Energy
Astrophysics Workshops for Amateur Astronomers, and he's fascinating.
Plus, I'd pay real money to see Led Zeppelin, (if I had any). Sitting in
behind the drums would be fun, too.
