This Saturday: Global Cool(er) w/ Bill Nye at Chabot Space & Science Ctr. in the Oakland hills

We’ve always had a soft spot for the cosmos, we are the SPACE Cowboys after-all! So we’re stoked to be playing at Chabot Space & Science Center this Saturday November 13th!

It’s the opening party for their new Climate Lab exhibit & Bill Nye himself is coming out to do the ribbon cutting. I’m told he plans to cut a rug with us afterwards too!
Think of it as a NightLife in a new venue. New exhibits to check out, new movies to see, a…nd a new place to take that first date to! The observatory will have their telescopes open to attendees and it’s supposed to be a beautiful night! Honestly one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had was looking through one of Chabot’s telescopes, it’s incredible, you just have to see it for yourself; it’s well worth the price of admission.

Speaking of admission, buy your ticket in advance and use the discount code “SpaceCowboys” to receive 10% off. And the ticket includes a complimentary cocktail.

There will be plenty of bars & Space Cowboy djs Shissla, 8ball, Rrrus and Brad Robinson to keep you grooving; together with:

- NEW! Bill’s Climate Lab exhibition unveiling with Bill Nye the Science Guy (in the flesh), stirring things up

- Delectable sushi & Indian chaat, luscious specialty drinks, and more!

- 350.org’s 10/10/10 Film Premiere

- Mona Lisa Jazz, featuring musicians from Sila & the Afro-Funk Experience

- Impressive views overlooking the bay and stars above

- Free Shuttles to and from Chabot to Lake Merritt BART station (starting at 8:30, with the last one timed to make the final train of the evening)

Post-Decompression - Global Cool(er) Nov. 13th

pk. — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 17:41:00 +0000

First off, big thanks to everyone who came out to SF Decompression on Sunday. It’s always a great day, and it was amazing to see so many smiling faces, it is why we do this after all. Decompression is always challenging to set-up and to strike. It requires a lot of work, time money and patience on our end, so next time you see your neighborhood Space Cowboy give them a big hug. We don’t get any financial support to do events like Decompression, so we rely on your support at events like GhostShip III: the Armada and the upcoming Global Cool(er) at Chabot Science Center on November 13th to keep on going.

The Global Cool(er) event on November 13th is the gala celebration for the new Bill Nye Climate Lab exhibit, and we’re thrilled to be playing the After Party. We’ll be bringing the Unimog out to show our love of Space and the earth too. 8ball, Brad Robinson, Mancub and Shissla will be throwing down the beats and there are plenty of amazing other things to do at the Chabot. We don’t really know why you would want to do anything but dance, but the exhibits will be open (without screaming kids), there will be movies shown in their enormous mega-dome theatre, and best of all, you can look through their amazing array of telescope on the observation deck. Last time we played there (for the first Bay Area Yuris Night) it was amazing, seeing the stars like that was an experience I won’t soon forget. See below:
