Astronomy Cast now has adorable buttons from ButtonStar (Hat tip to Swoopy), and anyone interested can buy Astronomy Cast shirts from zazzle. We’re getting fliers courtesy of GLAST, and for the first special 70 or so people who ask for them, we have lanyards (I’ll have them at the meetup).

Thanks so much for checking on things! I think we're definately looking at over 20 people. Since it is a Tuesday, I'm hoping we can just sort of take over the place :-) It sounds like just showing up is a good option. Thanks so much for checking on things!

Otherwise, your group is welcome to just come in. We have a large rooftop patio, weather permitting, that will accommodate 200+ guests and everyone can mingle in the cocktail area up there. My addition: it will likely be a good idea to wear a coat, rather than just a sweater. I have now received a new reply from Joanna:

Do you want me to book a meeting room? I would have to guess that at least 20 people will show up. A lot more if we generate any "publicity". :-) I have sent email and received a reply from “Joanna” at the Iron Cactus. Do you want me to book a meeting room?
