NEWS FLASH:
Buffalo News western U.S. regional astronomy correspondent Ekim Enolazna has reported that two City Boy Astronomy Outreach Experts to meet in undisclosed location in the Lake Tahoe, Nevada area. Sources indicate that "The Urban Astronomer Guy-UAG" aka Paul Salazar of San Francisco, California (http://urbanastronomer.blogspot.com/) will be in high level meetings with the "Sidewalk Universe Guy-SUG" aka Richie "The Jersey Asteroid" Smith of Spark, Nevada. (http://sidewalkuniverse.blogspot.com/)
Pauli Stromboli, owner of the "Pauli Stromboli's Cup of Joe " reported to correspondent Enolazna that the two might informally meet at his establishment in the Sparks, NV area. Dessert chef, Vinnie Breakurlegs of "Pauli Stromboli's Cup of Joe" revealed that a large order for cannolis had been called in earlier in the week for July 27, 2009.
There is also speculation that the two will collaborate with a Public Observing Session in possibly the southern Lake Tahoe Region where Salazar is engaged in some informal meeting with members of his clan. If it materializes, this will be the first meeting of such organizations and stimulate future interaction of other U.S. astronomy outreach entities.
Security will be high for this event so it may be difficult to see the two. However the public event in the Lake Tahoe region is open to all.
Sources indicate that both who are accustomed to spending a greater amount of time in more light polluted environments will be giddy with excitement in this more rural setting.
More details to follow as they become available.
You have a way of digging up a story and all the dirt that goes with it Anzalono. Your ability to find the true essence of events is nothing short of phenomenal - right down to the cannolis! Our veil of secrecy is now torn in two, and we may need to change our location for the press and public mob that is sure to follow us after this article appears in syndicated circles. You do realize that the astronomical paparazzi follow the UAG around - he has a major following with his radio spot you know!
ReplyDeleteYes this is a very high profile meeting initiated by UAG. Rumor has it that some secret outreach materials may be exchanged. OOPS - I SHOULD NOT HAVE SAID THAT!
Mr. Sidewalk Universe and I will be meeting tomorrow in Sparks, NV for the planning session and cup of Joe. Location will not be disclosed.
ReplyDeleteHere are the coordinates of the (no-longer-so-secret) meeting of the Western Association of Stealth Star Gazers: 38.884 north, 120.073 west. If you can find this, you can join the good times this week!
Regards,
Paul
The Urban Astronomer
