Monday!

Finally back in Tucson. Didn't get to meet the president...he didn't really wander the exhibits or telescopes after his speech, but did meet the Mythbusters and a bunch of astronauts. If you know the White House grounds, my scope was setup up down by the fountain.  Still in a bit of a daze and wondering did THAT really happen?

So cool, and so happy for you! I sucked as much notoriety off of your experience as possible. Shared your pictures and my 2 degrees of Obama and Mythbusters with my friends and colleagues.

Hale, I'm sure you represented the Irregulars well. If any place is irregular, it's Washington, DC. Congratulations on the honor.

I think the whole thing was just fantastic.

After recovering a little bit, the best part was just to be there for a long time. We were there from noon to 3pm for setup and about 5:30 until after 10pm tearing down. There was time to just relax an enjoy the grounds, not being herded through on a tour.

I met the Mythbusters before the event. That was also casual since the participants hadn't arrived yet and there was time to relax and chat with them.
