Looking for something to do on Halloween to allow you to dress up, flaunt your geek, and support private space exploration? If you live in NYC, then you're in luck! Go to the Space Monster Mashup Ball, sponsored by the Space Tourism Society's NYC chapter. I got an email about it by the STS, and it mentioned all sorts of fun activities and prizes...

Park Avenue Space Travel - an accredited travel agent for Virgin Galactic - will present actual space travel offerings and exhibits from Virgin Galactic, Nastar Center and Zero-G. They will also donate a space travel themed door prize to be raffled off amongst guests.

Cool. It looks like a lot of fun, and makes me wish I could drop by The Big Pumpkin Apple for a while and hang out.
