NASA Bound

My original concept for this blog was to feature all the fun and cool things to do in the Raleigh area, especially those that benefit charities or are not very expensive.  This week for instance you will have to choose between two of my favorite special events:  Drag Bingo and The Carolina Rollergirls.  (See their links below for more information).

I have been spared the agony of choosing between the two events, however, because I was selected by NASA (in a Twitter contest) to be an "Official Twitter-er" at the launch of the next Space Shuttle, STS-132.  This is an amazing opportunity and one that I am looking forward to with great anticipation.  The launch is scheduled for 2:19 pm on Friday, May 14th. The weather looks good right now so launch is on schedule.  I will be participating in a pre-launch "TweetUp" that involves special programming and tours so expect lots of interesting reports from the Kennedy Space Center.  We will be located with the international press so look for me!  I'll be in the red polo shirt!
