If you happen to be going to ALCon 2012...

...you are invited to join us for a variable star meet and greet on Thursday, July 5 at 6PM.

Since several of us plan to be in Chicago, at the Astronomical League Convention this year, we thought we'd try to connect with people from the area and other ALCon attendees interested in variable stars.

AAVSO Director Arne Henden will be there, as well as members of council, the AAVSO staff and variable star observers from Illinois and elsewhere. This is an informal gathering around food, drinks, a shared interest, and undoubtedly a good deal of laughter.

If you are interested in joining us, contact me at mikesimonsen @ aavso dot org, and I'll give you directions and reserve a seat for you.
