The Right Stuff

The Right Stuff is one of the best movies ever made (based on a great book by Tom Wolfe), and definitely one of my favorites. AND we actually have it here in the library. WIRED magazine's Alex French and Howie Kahn recently published an excellent oral history of the making of this awesome movie. Read it HERE. 

That's all appropriate because today is NASA's Day of Remembrance:
On the eve of the 25th anniversary of the space shuttle Challenger accident, Kennedy Space Center observed NASA's Day of Remembrance, Jan. 27, with a wreath-laying ceremony at the KSC Visitor Complex Space Mirror Memorial. The Day of Remembrance honors members of the NASA family who lost their lives while furthering the cause of exploration and discovery, including the astronaut crews of Apollo 1 and shuttles Challenger and Columbia.

Okay, for all to see, this year I'm going to try and update this blog more than once a . . . semester (smh). 

Also, and more importantly, there's LumaCon!!

What's LumaCon!!? Well, it's Petaluma's first annual comic book convention for students and families. If you're an artist, author, or even just someone looking for something to do on Saturday, January 17th, stop on by Herzog Hall and check it out. 

You can find more info here: www.lumacon.weebly.com

Or come talk to me, your friendly neighborhood librarian :)
