I'm busy hyperventilating!
I've just spent the last half hour drooling with the other astro chicks on fb over this. August seems too far away to buy the tickets grrrrr. I have an August date by the looks for when tickets go on sale in Brisbane. Have registered for the pre-sale .
If I wear an "I love Brian" t-shirt, take a selfie, fold it up as a paper plane and missile it his way on stage will he take notice of lil me. Probably get thrown out knowing my luck.... Hmmmm many more months to get creative! Hubby loves Brian so he'll be with me- probably throw me at him just so I can get him out of my system, oh sweet sweet bless him if he happens to trip me and I somersault all the way down to the stage.

Oh you play dirty Jen
I need to hang around you.

I'm guessing (even expecting) the tickets to be over the $100 mark. David Attenborough's tickets through Lateral events (same organisers for this event) was around the $130 price. Which is why I didn't end up going to that one.

I can't see it being a problem with taking your 12yr old son , esp. for a science talk.

Shallow astro chicks here.

I thought women valued intelligence.
Not that Mr Cox is dumb but he pales significantly when compared to Leonard Susskind.

Who is Leonard Susskind?

Has he got big teeth?

Susskind's "mate" Stephen Hawking can give you a character reference.

All this is a bit crazy. You are not going to get much more for your $s than what you get out of a good book or good BBC doco by Dr Cox, whose work I do admire.

Re Susskind, in my opinion, he is one of the most brilliant theoretical physicists alive today. He is also humble and a great educator for those who want to go well beyond the pop-science level of understanding how the world works.

I think pop science is great, the fact that people are drooling and swooning over a guy doing nothing more than explaining physics is pretty cool. There should be more guys like him and more sexed up media coverage of science and astronomy in the mainstream media. It's crazy that more people are interested in what Kim Kardashian is doing today than the latest images from the Hubble Space Telescope. If my kids were old enough I'd take them both. As it happens they are far too young - and after emptying my wallet on Opeth, Epica, Van Halen and Black Sabbath tickets this year already - I won't be paying for any live entertainment for the rest of it!

I must admit, I was excited until I saw the ticket prices. ($100-$350 each in Canberra).
