Field Trip in lieu of Meeting

As many of you read in last week's email, instead of having a regular meeting on the 16th of October you can join your fellow club members in watching the movie First Man at the Jordan's Furniture IMAX theater in Reading, MA. We are going to the 7 PM show and you should get your tickets online before the show.

This is a movie about Neil Armstrong, his personal and public life leading up to being the first man to set foot on the moon.

It's open seating and there's usually a long queue before they open the doors so sitting together may be difficult. The earlier you arrive, the better the chances of getting a good seat.

If you're planning on attending, let us know here so we can keep an eye out for each other.

I'll be there, as will David, one of the Umass Lowell Students who was at the last Amesbury launch.

Got my ticket - I'll be there.

Well, that was interesting. About a minute-and-a-half into the film, the fire alarm sounded and we had to evacuate. After nearly two hours in the parking lot with periodic updates that we'd be going back in soon, we were finally told we wouldn't be going back in that night. We can all exchange our tickets for a future show or a refund so we're going to try to go again next Tuesday, the 23rd of October.

There were only about 50 people in the 500-seat theater so getting a good seat wasn't a problem. Hope to see you all there.

The really sad part was we sat there in silence with nothing to say the whole time...
