That's not entirely accurate... I got sick in the bathroom, I just looked real bad when I was by the canal.Had nothing to do with alcohol either.
I am interested; I have one I cant seem to hook my camera up to well and need some pointers. I also want to see Saturn.
Hmm... I seem to remember a puddle out back as well as the mess in the bathroom, but maybe that was Nathan that got sick back there. It *was* over 2 years ago... (And while the cigar might have been the main reason you barfed, Alcohol was definitely involved! There were very few sober people at FLEM 5...)
I don't think it will be quite that wild this time around. For one, we won't have Doc John and his human laser show antics...But it would be cool to have a peek through DZ's telescope, assuming it's not too cloudy.

I can bring my scope too. I have a Meade 4" reflector with auto star tracking. I don't get to use it much since I'm in the city.
All we need now is a game of Dungeons & Dragons to totally nerd out.

Hope all you guys have a brilliant LEM on Saturday
As you know it's also our UKLEM this Friday, Saturday and Sunday so I guess we'll all be busy over here and probably won't be posting much.
Take care

Well I'm all packed up and ready to go, leaving here about 4:45am, will be driving right past FLEM, then returning there about 5pm. See y'all soon!

Sorry about the lack of a live broadcast from FLEM this time, guys... The venue sits at the base of a bridge, so you have a large hill on one side (for the road leading up to the bridge) and a huge stand of trees on the other side. Then too, the building is made of cinder block... So cell service is pretty lousy inside.
Bottom line, no one could get a signal strong enough to run a live feed.
Still, it was a great event nonetheless. I know I had a lot of fun! Hope everyone else did too...
