Cancel tonight's Monrovia sidewalk astronomy

[Jane Houston Jones]

We're cancelling the sidewalk astronomy event in Monrovia tonight due to 
a 40% chance of thunderstorms. Our friend Bob Eklund is still (as of 
this morning) planning to hold a viewing event in Memorial Park Sierra 
Madre tonight.  So if this is local for you there is a slight chance 
that at 7 p.m., if there is anything to see, you can see the moon from 
Sierra Madre!

Last night in Pasadena, as thousands of folks were enjoying the first 
night of Pasadena Art Weekend we had 350 people stop for a look at 
Saturn and Mars near the first quarter moon for some performance art 
with telescopes!   Early on, we were joined by a bevy of bicyclists, 
complete with camera crew, and later by bagpipes and drums, and kilts, 
oh my!  Just a typical Friday night on Colorado Blvd.  Here are a few 
pictures from last night:
