[meteorite-list] Cosmic Collisions on TV right now

[Notkin]

Dear Michael:

Thank you for the heads-up.

Steve Arnold #1 and I worked extensively on this three-part Discovery  
Channel show last year, and we're looking forward to seeing it. The  
director called me last week and said they were airing"Cosmic  
Collisions" out of sequence -- not that it matters in terms of  
continuity for viewers.

Steve and I filmed on location in Kansas for several days, and they  
also shot some additional interiors with me and my assistants here in  
Tucson. The whole crew were extremely enthusiastic and professional  
and we have high hopes for the show. Steve and I will be in segment  
#2; it was #3 which aired this evening. I gather that the second  
segment is largely about meteorites, but we haven't seen it yet  
ourselves. We'll post air dates when we have them, and I hope you  
enjoyed tonight's episode. I was too busy getting ready for the gem  
show to catch it  : )  Please let us know what you thought.


I posted this last year, but it may be of interest to those watching  
the show. It is my on-location photo essay about making the episode:

And for those of you heading to Tucson: it was sunny but cool today.  
Warmer temperatures in the low 70s expected this weekend. Several  
dealers are already set up at the InnSuites and Day's Inn and there  
was plenty of activity this morning, with trucks arriving and unloading.

I'll be in our showroom with Anne Black for fifteen days, starting at  
10 am this coming Saturday (InnSuites #230), so please drop by and say  
hello if you're in town. We will have the actual "Cosmic Collisions"  
oriented Brenham pallasite on display in our showroom for the duration:
