Things to See in the Upcoming Months

Well, let see:
January 18th - The Secret Science Club presents Astrophysicist and Cosmologist David Hogg (didn't work out but I find the concept of a Science Club very intriguing; definitely something to check out further)
January 21st - the tickets go on sale for William Shatner's Broadway one-man show Shatner's World: We Just Live in It at The Music Box Theater (got a good seat for the opening night!!!)
January 20-22nd - Antiques Show at the Armory (Lexington Ave & 26th St; pity but due to a cold I couldn't make it)
January 21-22nd - Americana & Antiques at the Pier (Pier 92 NYC; similar to above, still feeling quite blah)
January 23rd - A Universe from Nothing with Lawrence Krauss at Hayden Planetarium (fantastic presentation!)
January 28th - RUGM Open House (got some very nice specimens!)
February 1st - A walkthrough trip to a LEED-certified DAS showroom on 6th Ave, arranged through SKYed
February 2nd - No Bones About It with Carl Mehling at AMNH (as usual, a great program)
February 14th - Shatner's World opening night (hysterical!!!)
February 25-26th - The Morristown Armory Antiques Show (found the animal print I've really wanted to purchase!!!)
February (end) - the third Propworx Star Trek Auction (well, this is not really a physical location but a great event nonetheless - Update: turned out to be a bit less than great, the props were somewhat less interesting and much less affordable than last time)
March 6th - Museum Inside-Out with Sidney Horenstein at AMNH (fascinating things about the museum building itself!)
March 31st - New special exhibition opens at AMNH - Creatures of Light. Subject matter is bioluminescence!

In addition, a whole host of fantastic new exhibitions are opening at the Metropolitan! Hopefully, I will eventually get to post further info on all of my trips.

Generally speaking, lots of plans as usual; the to-do list has grown to the size of a small notebook. Shoot, trying to get everything sorted and organized seems to be an exercise in futility half the time!

Happy New Year!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!! HERE'S HOPING TO A KINDER AND GENTLER YEAR!



P.S. Also hoping to publish some updates with photoes from last year. There is no denying - 2011 was a rough year but it also had plenty of moments worth to be remembered fondly. As Albert Einstein said: "Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow."
