Santa Monica Pier Outreach 12/21/2013

Post by klegore »

I headed out to Santa Monica Pier this past Saturday to put on another free outreach event. This one was much better then the Malibu turn out. I set up the solar rig at 8:30 and went all the way to about 4pm PST. Talked to about 100 people and handed out about 75 pairs of glasses. It was fun talking to people from South Africa and all over the US visiting for the holidays.

For anyone wanting to come out, I will be back on Saturday, January 4th. Weather Permitting, the marine layer can be a little annoying.
