-
- Here's some news on the NASA Town Meeting to be held in Indianapolis
- on Friday, 20 November. I have learned that the meeting has been
- moved to the Walker Theater at 617 Indiana Avenue. It's no longer
- scheduled for the IUPUI campus.
-
- It still runs from 2:00 Friday afternoon till about 6:30.
-
- Dr. Daniel Goldin, NASA Administrator, will be present for the first
- half of the afternoon, and will answer some questions from the
- audience after his talk. A battery of other NASA officials will
- review NASA's activities in the second half, along with short
- presentations from a few Indianapolis-area people with some space,
- aeronautics, or NASA connection. (For instance, there's a company
- named ARAC in the spinoff business which I expect will be represented.)
-
- There will be a lot of open-microphone time so audience members can
- sound off.
-
- Now for the best part. I will be hosting a reception after the meeting
- for anybody who wishes to keep talking about space. It will start at
- 7 PM at the Slippery Noodle restaurant at 372 South Meridian in
- Indianapolis, near Union Station and about a mile south of the Walker
- Theater. Everybody is welcome. The Slippery Noodle's phone (I love
- this name) is (317)631-6974.
-
- I hope to distribute flyers at the meeting announcing this
- reception (if they let me!). But you heard it here first.
-
- I figure people will enjoy meeting others with an interest in NASA.
- They can buttonhole each other, sign each others' petitions, get to
- know one another, etc. It'll be real low-budget-- I expect people will
- buy their own drinks-- and contributions will be welcome, but I'll be
- providing the first round of snacks as long as my cash holds out.
- Just doing my bit for grassroots space activism in the Midwest...
-
- Many thanks to Thomas Freebairn of IUIPUI for providing the legwork!
