  1. Lara, I don’t why I didn’t do this before I sent you the link, but I finally went over to Alison Weir’s site and checked her schedule. She’s got quite a few US tour dates. Her schedule.

  2. Shoot, I wish her Texas dates were better. Houston is closest to me (not that Dallas is that much farther) but I’ll be booting up a telescope right about the time her talk starts!

  3. Pray for rain. (I’m presuming we are talking about an optical telescope here…)

  4. Yep, it’s an optical telescope. I’m not sure rain would get me out of work that night though since I have a group of school kids coming that night so I might have to be there no matter what. 🙁

  5. In that case, I think you should take the 5th off work and head to Dallas. There’s even a champagne reception with that event! That sounds like an enormous amount of fun and since it’s a reception, you’d probably get a chance to talk to her.

  6. Boy do I wish I could! Unfortunately that is also the week of our annual board meeting and I would probably be shot if I tried to take a day off that week. In other words, that was basically the worst week for her to be in Texas. Mid-March would have been perfect since I’m planning to take the week of Spring Break off! But I’m sure I’ll get a chance to see her talk one of these days.
