Ash, Ario and I made it to Yuri's Night 2008 - A World Space Party hosted at NASA down in Mountain View. Nearly 10 hours of standing, sitting whilst listening to great electronic, dance and pop music and watching some talks relating to space in general certainly amounted to a full day. Go check out the amazing line up.

The acrobatic planes were an amazing bonus and Buzz Aldrin was present but I never got a chance to meet him. At some point, Ashley and Ario got to see some of the Astronauts teleconfrence in to say 'hello' from space! Of course, I was off checking out the hydrogen-generating flowers and the subsequent hydrogen explosions when that happened.

I got to hear Tycho play his new song The Daydream; still hoping he is working on the new album. The beer from Drake's Brewery and Bison Brewery was most excellent, however the lines were probably some of the worst I have ever experienced. I ended the night with $20 of unused beer tix, mostly because the lines were so slow. I also was really pleased with the raw, organic vittles from BARF one of the food vendors on site, the Kale chips they sold were very good.


I got some photos and will put them online when I get the opportunity, so stay tuned to that channel. Ario has his online already. Ashley is probably still working on her photos same as me.
