I'll be on my way to KC tomorrow. I will have pretty much all day Wednesday to see the city before I pick up ClaudiaSTR at around 10pm on Wed.
I will probably go and try one of the BBQ places for a late lunch on Wednesday.

Please put me down for two for dinner also. Q39 was great food when the BBQ Do went but was rather loud.
I also have spare viewing glasses. With the warnings that went out, I reordered and have 5 or so spare glasses marked ISO and American Paper Optics.
But the warnings also said some counterfeits were marked that way as well. Amazon also and not from the cheapest seller so I hope are real.

I procrastinated (as always) and didn't buy them. I'm only asking for one pair
sounds like I might have time for a pre-bbq snack too ^

But don't worry, I've got as many as you need.

I also have some extra solar film if anyone wants to bring a camera. I cut out some 62mm sizes to sandwich between an adapter ring and a UV filter and tested it yesterday... works great! I've got enough for 2-3 more lenses depending on their size.

We should have some extras as well. I ordered 10 Thousand Oaks glasses awhile back, and one of my wife's coworkers ordered 50 more from one of the AAS recommended distributors last week (20 of them for us). He'll be here and my guess is he'll bring all 50 pairs with him.

Weather in St. Clair and Carbondale is tentative...mostly sunny in the morning and then "chance of thunderstorms after 1pm." STJ looks much better (mostly sunny the whole day).
Depending on if that T-storm arrival time moves back or not, I may yet still make it to MCI...

Rich, is everyone coming to your house bringing some food? Is there something specific you will be lacking that I can make?

I'll have a chance to see another partial eclipse next February 15 from the deck of the Emerald Princess on a Cape Horn cruise. There is one passing over Chile that day.

WE ARE FULL for dinner on Sunday night.
I called to verify the reservation and the restaurant has no notes of my earlier call the evening of Aug 8 booking a table of 12.
The 10 that have committed to dinner are all set, see post #1 for attendee list, we will be seated at their high top table (the chairs have seat backs to them).
