Yuri’s Night

On Friday, Girts and I went to Yuri’s Night, a party at the nearby NASA base celebrating the anniversary of Yuri Gagarin’s orbit around the earth. They had science exhibits, food, drinks, music, art, and a lot of stuff that’s rather hard to classify. It was an odd combination of a party, a science fair, and Burning Man. It’s kinda amazing to think of a Soviet accomplishment being celebrated on a NASA base, too.

There were a bunch of people in outlandish costumes, plus some people who I’d think they were wearing a costume if I saw them on the street, but probably just look like that.
