Bill Nye the Science Guy at KPCC's Planetary Radio Live show on May 28 in Pasadena - RSVP needed

We are still energized from our JPL Open House adventure ... more to blog on that later!  But here's something exciting if you and your children are excited about astronomy, or followed the whole drama of Pluto being demoted from the rank of planet.

Have you ever made an effort to see in person someone whose ideas made an impact on you or your children?   

My oldest son and I used to watch lots of Bill Nye The Science Guy - the comedic science guy who does science experiments and demonstrations on PBS.  We caught sight of him in the audience when my younger 8-year old son and I were watching Tyson deGrasse at LAPL downtown in conversation about his Pluto Files in 2009.  It makes watching the Nova Science Now (http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/sciencenow/) programs all the more interesting after seeing him in person.  

If you missed that live appearance at LAPL, here's the link to the whole LAPL event and will provide a nice background to this Live Planetary Radio event.

We have never been to a Live Radio taping show but this one is especially fun .. next to seeing a live Prairie Home Companion :)
