My wife and I went…and it was too cool. First we golfed in the Moonwalker tournament on Thursday (Gene Cernan was our partner). Golf was great, I got “closest to the pin” award where I beat out Jim McDivitt (a cool moonwalker trophy). Unfortunatly Charlie Duke’s group beat us by 2 strokes to win it. On Saturday we went to the VIP reception at the SD museum where they were honoring the Apollo 9 crew. All the astronauts where there and were very friendly (got pictures with all the moonwalkers including Buzz). It helped it was open bar, so all were feeling pretty good. Finally, I have to say, Gene was a fun guy to hang out with over the whole three days we were there (of course he spent more time with my wife than me).

Boy, if ever there was a crowd that *didn’t* need to hear your Moon Hoax talk…

This sounds like a ball, but $50 single day is a little rich. Maybe we’ll see you back in SD for Comic-Con again this year.

Yes, praise him!
Actually that does look like fun. The web site, however, is horrid! Apparently Richard Hatch is an astronaut and the art exhibit is by invitation only. No idea whose art, just that it’s invitation only. I was wondering if Alan Bean was going to have a display. The background picture looked like it may have been one of his but it isn’t. Spacefest folks, get a geek to fix the web site for the next meeting!

Buzz only punches those who deserve it. Since Buzz is all-knowing, his judgment is infallible. All praise Buzz!

Moonwalking astronauts? What an image….too bad Michael Jackson is such a creep.

Awww, I’m flying out there Sunday to attend a work function Monday and Tuesday. I guess all the fun will be over by then.

If only admission wasn’t $75 I’d be there in an instant; I work less than a mile from the venue!

I you call him “number 2″, he might punch you though.
