...Yuri's Night Seattle brings together a cross-section of enthusiasts; science fiction writers; scientists and engineers who have worked on NASA's exploration efforts and shuttles; innovators in private industry; and anyone with a passion for the potential of space. Keynote speaker will be Donna Shirley, former manager of NASA JPL's Mars Rover Exploration Program and director of the Experience Science Fiction Museum, slated to open this summer. Other notable guests include SF author Greg Bear, winner of the Hugo and Nebula awards, and scientist Jordin Kare, a pioneer in laser launch technology. Tickets are $25 for students; $35 for non-students...

Met Donna Shirley at the Turntable Restaurant at EMP tonight. The SF Museum there will be pretty cool from what she says, lots of interactive exhibits similar to the EMP itself.
