In this case, mostly. What I'm talking about is daytime, but there's a
game night activity on Saturday night. It's still in downtime Pasadena, so
not too much dark sky, but we might be able to find a decent place to put
up a telescope.

As it turns out, I had already emailed a friend who participateѕ in Linux
Astronomy. I will have to ask him about the possibilities.

Astronomy is cool. I know ASU does a regular astronomy event. I don't if
it is a bring your own device type of thing. I'm certain we have some
astronomy groups here in town. Wonder if anyone's participating in Linux
Astronomy or something like that.

ciao,
