[Chaos-l] Up coming events

[Jayme Hanzak]

31st Annual Hillsborough Hogg Day-May 17 & May 18, 2013 
  
The main day is Saturday May 18th and this is the only day that I am considering this year. I don't want to over do it but if some folks want to go out the day before, I wouldn't stop them. 
  
I have a canopy tent, banner and table that will be set up. The area is 12'X12'. I would like to have at least 1 H-Alpha and a few Badder syle filter scopes. 
  
I will talk with the organizers to see if we could set up telescopes in a near by  open area.    
  
We will need telescopes and people to talk to attendees about the club and the things that we do. So it will take some commitment. You will not 
need to stay the entire time. 
  
Further details will be discussed at the meeting next week. I just need to get the application in quickly and I need to know if there is interest.

I have not heard of this. googling finds web pages for hog day back to 2009 but 
nothing for this year. 

http://www.lasr.net/travel/county.php?Orange+County+Events&TravelTo=NC0332&VE=Y 

has a single line entry saying May 17th 2013. Whoever is running this doesn't 
know about the internet.

Possibly if I could be convinced the organisers know what they're doing. Are 
they only targetting people who don't use computers? 

Ah. It's Hogg day (formerly known as Hog Day). Lasr.net (above) still is in Hog 
Day mode.

OK I'm in. Do we want to do 1 or 2 days?

Do we have a banner? If not can we get one by then? 

Tent/shelter? (I have a single person beach shelter, OK for me, but it's not 
what we need for Hogg Day).
