Publicly Protecting Pluto!

[gnomi]

As mabfan mentioned yesterday, earlier this week, he and I were interviewed by the Brookline TAB for an article about The Society for the Preservation of Pluto as a Planet.

Today, the article came out in the hard-copy paper. On the front page, above the fold.

You can read the online version here.

The only blatant error we could find is that she got wrong which song we sang the snippet of. We did sing her a bit of "Yakko's Universe" and a bit of "Interplanet Janet", but the lyric she quotes is from neither.

I'm having trouble getting the article pages to resolve properly in Safari so I could only read about half the article, but it looks like the writer was respectful and understood the sense of fun you're taking into this, which is a goodness. Some writers would have taken a snarky approach and done a sort of "Oooh, look at the nerds!" piece. Instead, this is a good piece that acknowledges both the humor and the seriousness of the project. I like I what I was able to see.

I will say, though, that I wish they'd shot the picture of you from a more flattering angle. I understand they wanted to get the planetarium dome into the picture but, somehow, I'm just not seeing the best of my friends! Ah well. One way or another, publicity is good!
