To date we have discussed toilet arrangements, white lights, smoking,
and insecticide on the grounds of a star party. What are your thoughts
about -- ummmm -- shall we say, "intimate contact between consenting
adults" on the grounds of a stary party?

Hi Dennis:
I think the agressiveness (and I am not talking about the posts in this
thread) is a facet of the Internet...I don't see that on star party
fields. Some people seem prone to saying outrageous, silly things from
behind the keyboard and a pseudonym. I see some thoughtless behavior at
star parties (why is it that at least a couple of times a night
SOMEBODY is gonna cut their headlights on?)...like the chap setup next
to me recently who got COLD (in Florida in November), got in his
vehicle, cut on the dome light (so he could read or do his nails, I
guess), and ran his engine until the whole field reeked of exhaust. But
I DO NOT and have not seen the agressive behavior that you see on the
net. Why? My guess is that most of the folks prone to the ridiculous
are smart enough to think twice before saying these sorts of things to
somebody's face. ;-)

Rod,
Thanks for your comments - the thought that the outrageous posts are just
silly internet bravado is reassuring. I too have never experienced any
aggressive nonsense at a star party, and I hope I never do.

Hmmm. Let's see -- the original post was at 0751 and within 29 minutes, six
comments had been received.
Appears that there is quite a bit of interest in the
topic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Speaking as one who has attended only a few local star parties and who has
never attended one of the REALLY BIG ones, perhaps I'm missing something??
After all, at our star parties, we look at the night sky and that's about
it. :-)

I think that I am for it - better all around than murdering overweight
people who get carried away with spraying DEET, etc. The anger expessed
here by some folks is, to me, stunning. The longer I live, the more I buy
into "make love, not war". Maybe it comes of moving to Vermont - the best
place I have ever been.

I've been using a test meter now for 6 years and been controling it via
pills, but this cold wave came in sooner than normal and as it was towards
the end of the month, I was down to counting my lose change for anything,
yest I did eat ground turkey the night before, but nothing much with it for
any taste, and this is what happened, in fact I'm not even sure I had the
turkey on tueday night or monday night, with the cold coming in I was
already hurting and things just fell into a tight orbit around a Black Hole.
Now if the post office would just get my ebay camera to me I'd be in
brighter lights.

Not sure if it counts, but I did once masturbate in my truck after seeing
Wendee Levy's juicy fat ass whilst at Stellafane.

Well, at last years' Shingletown Star Party, near Mt Lassen, CA., there
was a hooker trolling up and down the runway for a couple of days, wet
T-shirt and all... although I don't believe she had any takers...

So many odd things there in one post. Why would a hooker travel all
that way? Wasn't she cold in said tee? A COUPLE of days? Are you
sure she wasn't just lost? Or an astronomy widow trying to lure her
significant other away from the scope? Things that make you go
hmmmmm...
