Yes, lots of other star parties that weekend, but if you are in the area or passing through on I-70 that weekend, come on by. If you haven't seen it, the Monument is unique and worth a visit all by itself. Zenith skies from the observing sites are typically 21.3 on the SQM, and creature comforts are only ten minutes away.
