Oh migosh, my kids would love that! We go there alot, we have a membership. Our goal is to have at home everything they have in the "bug zoo". We're actually not too far off . . .

Celeste

My son and I have a family membership, *and* I know someone who works in the Children's Discovery Center (but she might be out on maternity leave right now). :-)
When is a good day for everyone to get together? And when do you think you could get us behind the scenes, Francisco?

Oh, I've seen it -- I helped one of the animal curators, Leslie, introduce the pair that is in there, and she thinks the female is pregnant now. :-)

Hey so who has gone? I cant believe I havent made it out there yet but this weekend will not pass without me there.
***I have a question. Do you think the museum would press charges if I got caught shoplifting in the pavilion?

Hmm... Any weekend is good for me. I'm pretty much available any Saturday.

I'd like to go also. I'm free either day this weekend but would prefer Sat. Could probably make it the following Sat as well if that's better.
|
Celeste
|
Well, we can't do it the 18/19 because that's the Cal Poly Pomona show. So how about Sunday October 12th?

Celeste

That looks like our best opportunity! Let's go for it!
What time do folks want to meet?

Doesn't really matter to me. Are you going to bring that MM regalis, Celeste?
|
Celeste
|
Yes -- I'll pm you.
|
Johnny

We went by there on Sunday but it was closed. We shall be there on the 12th. And maybe we call all have lunch like we did in Anaheim?

Hello All,
I will call Brent to let him know that some of the members are attending this Sunday.
Hopefully he can give you a tour of the place.

PS Sorry Jonhy for the confusion

Johnny

Saturday? I thought the 12th was on a Sunday....
Cant make it Saturday, gotta work.
|
Celeste
|
No -- it's this *SUNDAY*, October 12th. Shall we plan on meeting there around 10 am? (That's when they open).
|

1000 AM sounds good to me, I'm leaving from the OC if anyone is interested in carpooling with me let me know. I might plan on staying around LA after we are done to do some sightseeing or a food run to Roscoe's or Pink's.
Eric

10 am is good for us.

Hi Guys
I don't carry a cell phone (they give me headaches -- I can't even be around *other* people carrying them).
Anyway, how about we meet at 10 am on the *NORTH* entrance of the Museum (the side facing Exposition Boulevard, with the *statues* of the T-rex and Triceratops fighting, and the fountains)? (We'll probably hang out for 15 minutes or so to gather up stragglers).
I haven't heard back from Francisco whether that time works for him and his Museum friend yet, though...
-- Celeste

I've got some bad news. I'm not going to be able to make it tomorrow. I have 2 tests and 2 quizzes next week. I feel bad about it, but I'd rather be a flake than fail my tests. But hey! This will mean I'll be able to make it to the Pomona show next weekend! I guess I'll see you guys there.
Kyle.

ALL:
JUST GOT A MESSAGE FROM FRANCISCO, AND HE SAID HIS FRIEND BRENT IS IN LOUISIANA THIS WEEKEND, BUT WILL BE COMING BACK NEXT WEEK WITH MORE SPIDERS FOR THE SPIDER PAVILION. FRANCISCO IS ALSO AT THE SFBATS MEETING TODAY, RETURNING IN THE WEE HOURS TOMORROW. WOULD ANYONE PREFER TO GO IN TWO WEEKS INSTEAD (WHEN THERE WILL BE MORE NEW SPIDERS AND BRENT COULD GIVE US THE BEHIND-THE-SCENES TOUR), OR SHOULD WE JUST GO TOMORROW *AND* GO TWO WEEKS FROM TOMORROW (THE 26TH) AS WELL?
-- CELESTE
|
noexcuse4you

Well, since I won't be able to make it tomorrow... you know my answer 
|
Johnny
|
Im going tomorrow since I'll be up north camping in two weeks....
|
Celeste
|
Well, it looks like we may have at least three people (plus kids) coming tomorrow, so a few of us will be there if anyone else wants to show up around 10 am (Exposition Blvd. entrance).
We'll just see the rest of y'all in two weeks! (If we don't see you in Pomona next weekend!) :-)
-- Celeste

I'll be there, I have not been to the museum in awhile so I'm looking forward to it. Last time I was there was for a 10k I ran in the area but, didn't get a chance to see any of the museums in the area

I was a little disappointed when I went two weeks ago. It was almost entirely filled with USA, specifically Florida, natives. While I'm sure this is just as exciting as anything else to the general public, I was hoping to see lots more exotic species. It was also a bit difficult to get any pictures of anything other then the Nephila, as there were few webs within optimal macro photography range. I assume that's more from people disturbing webs close to the path, and in a venue such as this, there's not much that can be done with it.
But overall, it was quite fun. I'm getting some Nephila and Argiope egg sacks from Florida, so hopefully my back yard will look similar to the spider pavilion next year
