[meteorite-list] "The Fallen Sky" Reading in Tucson Tomorrow + Odessa Episode

[Notkin]

Dear Listees:

I would like to invite those of you in southern Arizona to meet my  
friend Chris Cokinos and hear him read from his wonderful new book  
"The Fallen Sky: An Intimate History of Shooting Stars" tomorrow,  
Monday, here in Tucson.

Chris is a brilliant writer, an accomplished editor and professor and  
one of the cooler guys I know. The reading is sure to be entertaining  
and informative. I'll be there, along with some of my pals, and would  
warmly encourage anyone within driving distance to make the trip.

The event will be at the Steward Observatory on the U of A campus,  
tomorrow, September 28, at 7:30 pm and admission is free.

Hope to see some of you there.


In other news: Steve and I are finally back home after filming several  
new episodes of "Meteorite Men." Thanks to those of you who posted  
news stories about our Odessa Crater adventure. What a treat it was to  
be allowed to film and hunt inside the actual crater! And Pete Shugar  
-- I'm sorry you don't live next to the strewnfield anymore. Would  
have been great to meet you in person, but I did enjoy seeing the  
photo you donated to the museum.

There is a small news piece about the show in today's "Arizona Daily  
Star":

It is really nice to be back home in sunny Tucson after many, many  
days on location!


Best wishes to all,
