    If anybody ends up showing up to this event I'll be there maybe between 11:30am -2:00 pm. Just come up and say hi, I'll probably be wearing the same "Judoka" hat that I am wearing in my avatar photo.

    So if you happen to be in the area you would know that it was pretty cloudy today especially in the valley. I ended up taking a little road trip instead taking the coast highway all the way to Oxnard had lunch then went to Woodland Hills to say hello. I ended seeing Kevin LeGore from Focus Astronomy and @drD (Daniel Mounsey) of Woodland Hills and http://www.doctorsreviews.com. I had to get going only stayed and chatted for about and hour but the sun peeked through before I left and I was able to look through Kevin's Coronado on my way out.

    Kevin brought along his personal meteorite collection which I have to say was pretty badass. I've posted some additional pictures in the media gallery.
