Taking the Fight for Pluto to the Airwaves

[mabfan]

As mentioned a couple of days ago, gnomi and I were interviewed by CBS4 News about our fight to save Pluto.  They ran the interview last night.  The video is here, with a partial transcript here.  The reporter, Ken Barlow, gave a plug for the Clay Center Observatory and for our upcoming Save Pluto Day observances on 4 February 2007.

Is it difficult? I've honestly never tried; they came to us.

(The one other time I was on the local evening news was when my father died during the 1990 Daily News strike. The problem there was convincing the eager but hesitant news media that yes, we really did want cameras and a media circus at my father's funeral.)

That's probably why it worked.

But when you try, and you look like you want the attention, you never get it.
