Astronomer/Star Myth expert...seeking ticket work-trade

Post by star.supernova » Wed Aug 24, 2011 2:33 pm

Hello folks!

I'm a professional astronomer, working now as an astronomy guide at a state park in Colorado (orient land trust).
I would like to offer a nightly laser and telescope star show on the playa ... in exchange for a ticket this year.

I give high energy story telling and constellation laser pointer shows. My laser shines 5 miles into the sky, helping to
virtually paint out the constellations and their ancient stories. I know many stories of asian, native and greek star mythology.

I love the stars, and would be over-joyed to share every night with fellow playa residents.

Always wanted to go to burning man, and was planning on going this year, but tickets sold out, and sadly my funds are short.

Anyone know who I might ask? :wink:
I can be reached at nightsky->dot->supernova->at->gmail->dot->com

To the stars!

Wow. It's going to be total luck if you go there. I don't know how many tickets are out there in hiding at this point.
Although, as the daughter of an astronomer (general reletivity) and aunt of another (same) and one-time star-gazer herself, I hope you do make it out there in the next 25 months.
