Dear Nick and List:

Here's are the details that we have so far. Looking forward to seeing 
you and the rest of the gang here, in a little over three months.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 2005  [Evening]
All are invited to attend the Sixth Annual Meteor Mayhem Birthday 
Bash & Harvey Awards at 8 pm. Location of the event is TBA. After 
three years at the La Fuente restaurant, we are considering a change 
of venue for the following reasons: we've outgrown the big room at La 
Fuente; the nearby Vagabond Inn (formerly the Ramada University and 
home to Blaine Reed Meteorites) is no longer a show venue; and also 
because we'd just like to find somewhere a little more interesting 
and unusual. Details to follow.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2005  [Afternoon]
Allan Lang will host an auction of exceptional meteorites from the 
R.A. Langheinrich Meteorite Collection at the elegant Westward Look 
Resort on Ina Road, Saturday afternoon at 2:30 pm. An online catalog 
of specimens will be posted at www.nyrockman.com closer to the event.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2005  [Evening]
Michael Blood's ever-popular People's Meteorite Auction will take 
place at the VFW Hall, Post 4903, 1150 N. Beverly Avenue on the 
Saturday evening. This is the same location as the 2004 auction. The 
new hall was a big hit with everyone due to its spacious event room 
and full cash bar. An online catalog of specimens will be posted at 
www.michaelbloodmeteorites.com closer to the event.

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2005  [Morning]
Darryl Pitt's Macovich Collection meteorite auction will return to 
the sunny InnSuites lawn after a one year hiatus, on the Sunday 
morning. An online catalog of specimens will be posted at 
www.macovich.com closer to the event.

SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2005  [Afternoon]
Allan Lang and colleagues present a very special free event: You are 
invited to meet Apollo astronaut, moon walker, and celebrated 
geologist Dr. Harrison "Jack" Schmitt when he appears in person at 
the Westward Look Resort on the Sunday afternoon.
