So, my Google News alerts have been chiming at me today telling me that there’s news about Griffith Observatory. There was a press conference today, attended by a hundred or so press types in Los Angeles, where the mayor of LA announced that the observatory would be open to the public on November 3 after being closed for four years for renovations.

It’s getting exciting folks, because I’ve been part of that whole renovation thing for the past year and a half. My role? Working as senior exhibit writer for the entire exhibition program. I’m still working on a few last-minute changes to copy for the final exhibit panels to be created, but for the most part, my part of the project is nearly finished. It’s been a fun one, and I’m going to miss the daily emails and teleconferences with the rest of the team. But hey, we have to let our baby get born! And it’s going to be a heck of a baby!
