What's the deal with these events ... are there any single chics? or
is it just a bunch of lonely dudes and their scopes?

Dunno... It's too dark to tell...

Your looking in the wrong place for "chic's" buddy.

Most women that show up at star parties are as serious and sometimes more so
about looking at the night sky than some of the guys I've seen at star
parties.

Ignore all crossposting fools. Nine of ten are trolls.

is that you, Shawn?

Since we are on the subject. Does anyone know if there are any of these
in the Olympia WA area? I would sincerely like to take a peek through a
variety of scopes, especially since i am planning a major purchase this
year or early next year.
Thanks

Hi:

Don't look for a star party per se. Look for a local club that's holding a
public outreach event, a "public" star party. This is the perfect time to try a
variety of telescopes. For clubs in your area, check the listing at
skyandtelescope.com.

If you know even a little bit about astronomy, it can definately help
you out. Allow me to tell you about an experience I had at Ocean
City, MD during senior week. It's well after midnight and I'm walking
down the beach with a girl a friend just introduced me to. I'm
*pretty* sober, and have just about exhausted my supply of
introductory chit-chat. She's just about out of conversational steam
too, so there's a lull in the conversation. We're pretty much just
walking silently when I notice you can see the summer cross overhead.
I was surprised it was visible with all the light pollution, and I
guess I stared a little too long. She looked up and asked me what I
was looking at, and so I told her. I explained the constellation,
told her that bright star was Deneb, that really bright one over there
was Vega. "Wow, how do you know about all this stuff?" she asked.
Thinking that perhaps "Well, I'm a space nerd" wasn't the best reply,
I answered that I took a class in high school (a lie, but a white
lie). "Oh. Do you know any others?" This is when the sheer beauty
of stargazing was suddenly revealed to my 18 year old, hormone-crazed
mind; the ideal stargazing position is laying (lying?) close
side-by-side!!! Thanks to a moderate interest in astronomy, I spent
about an hour laying close to a beautiful girl on the beach, of which
about 10 minutes was devoted to stargazing

HOWEVER... If you simply show up at a star party, knowing about the
sky will not make you unique in any way, which is why the above
scenario played out as it did. And not knowing anything about the sky
will probably not endear you to whatever women are present. In
general, my (limited) experience is that people don't go to star
parties to hook up, they go there to look at stars. I am guessing
that you would have to be a pretty amazing observer to pick up women.

Since turning 21, I have however discovered a remarkable set of
establishments known as BARS. They are found just about anywhere,
especially around college campuses. It shouldn't take you long to
find a bar where single men and women of your demographic go to hang
out, buy drinks, and invite each other back to their appartments. If
you don't have much luck your first night, try one of these
approaches:
1) Drink more. Drinking makes you smart, funny, attractive and
strong.
2) Buy more drinks. Women who are drunk are more likely to think you
are smart, funny, attractive and stong.
If this doesn't work, try cross-posting to alt.sex.anonymous or

Onwards and Upwards!

It's about 150 miles away so I don't know if that's close enough;
