Does anyone have the scoop on other science fairs/festivals/conferences coming up this year in the US?

May 28th! I'm so going! With all my PF gear on! My goal will be to get a photo with a pop scientist.

No!

That starts 2 days before my last day at work, and I've accepted a $1 wager, that I will not show up for work my last day. :cry:

And I've never been to NYC... :cry:

hmmm...

I guess there's always next year.*

*My response when someone told me that Burning Man had sold out all 70,000 tickets in an hour.
