General updates, event planning revamp coming
I feel I owe you all an explanation for the cancellation of the 7th Place Satellite Spotting Spectacular (and my absence at Doug's wedding- VERY sorry!).

My father is an acoustical architect and pro audio designer who does consulting/design work for the South Cariolina State Capitol building. He is currently on location doing technical support and maintnence.

However, he discovered he was missing a key blueprint and had to have me on call for all of Friday to read notes for him before Express mailing it to him before the post office closed. This prevented me from doing any of the preperation necessary for the Satellite Event, in addition to the fact that patchy clouds were beginning to appear. Satellite spotting in particular needs COMPLETELY clear skies.

On saturday pressing personal matters presented themselves, in addition to an overcast morning sky. At this point I decided to call off the whole shebang.

As a result of two events in a row going south, I am considering revamping the event planning and promotion, in addition to scheduling biweekly "mini" events, satellite nights, and general observing nights.

Look for a large update coming in the next week.
