I know, I was there...and I have pictures to prove it!
Pat Kelly ran a "Launch Con" and I rode/drove down with him and two other
people I've never seen since. When the launch was delayed a couple of days
(computer glitch when they switched to internal power) the "con" got
extended, and we got to pull an all-nighter drive back after several days
of partying. I got home just before 8am, and called in "sick". My boss
said it was OK, so long as he got to see the pictures. ;-)
I sold a copy of my pics to one of the other attendees...a space activist
up in NY somewhere.
