ALLIES IN SPACE UPDATE!!
========================
With the must-attend Allies in Space show only a couple weeks
away, news is breaking out more rapidly. Please keep up to date at
'www.nyskies.org'. Follow the links near the bottom of the home page.
(The link in the header goes only to the flyer that you will pass
around to your astronomy and spacefaring friends.)
For the immediate read, Allies in Space is on Saturday 3 November
2007 12:30-16:30 EDST at the Graduate Center's first floor
auditorium,
34th St and 5th Av, Manhattan.

Their bios are in the linked ASTRo-GAIA website.
The NYSkies flyer has only three speakers because as at this
instant it is not yet updated. It's perfectly good for giving the
essential specs for the show. An updated flyer will be hung by
tomorrow, the 13th, morning.
This Sputnik celebration is attracting notice by space and
astronomy clubs off of Manhattan because the City University Graduate
Center is only a kilometer walk from Grand Central Terminal, Penn
Station, and Port of Authority bus depot. With no fuss, no bother, no
mess, it's one of the easiest daytrips a club can take!
It's well to register, for first-seating, at the linked ASTRO-
GAIA
website. While not necessary, there are only 180 seats in the
auditorium! Don't be turned away!!
After the presentation, you got all of Manhattan around you when
you step out of the theater. Visit the Empire State building (tallish
thing with a needle on top, diagonally across from the Graduate
Center), do the 34th Street shopping, play in Times Square, dine at
Top of the Rock in Rockefeller Center.
Hey! Go to Herald Sq and catch one of the City's new green taxis!
Human-powered two-seaters line up there waiting for you. They're part
of the all-points project to reduce greenhouse emissions and build a
sustainable economy.
