What we’re about
Everyday Spacer Los Angeles is a Meetup for anyone with even a mild interest in space exploration, astronomy and similar topics.
You should join if you would like to go to a star party and look through a variety of telescopes and see objects in the night sky. Or maybe you like hearing lectures about interesting, updated topics from notable engineers and scientists.
Not your thing?
How about some hands-on/'maker' type events?
We'll list local events in each of these areas and more (see our topics list below).
If you decide to join, you can expect us to list as many events as we learn about in Los Angeles and beyond. We'd love your help of course. And, if you become a member, you'll be expected to actually participate in something we list!
This is important.
It's not a 'meetup' if you never attend an event. Please be sure to R.S.V.P. 'YES' if you intend to go. A 'NO' or no answer will be considered the same. If you happen to show up at an event with limited resources in spite of that, you may be turned away and we'll all be sad about that!
Mainly, we want to show you ways you can personally and directly participate in this exciting area and have FUN doing it!
If you ever need anything from us, do call or write. We'll include contact information anytime you join and we send you the traditional 'welcome' message - usually within a day or two.
Thank you and enjoy the events we already found and listed for you.

See all- PROFILE: John W. CampbellLink visible for attendees
As an editor, John W. Campbell was a great influence (for good or bad) on the early days of science fiction (1938 - 1971).
Campbell published the first stories from some of the biggest writers, popularized science fiction, and wrote the story that became "The Thing." He also got in trouble with the FBI and, later in his career, started to become more controversial and began the "New Wave" (New Age) science fiction movement, drifting away from the actual science.
This and other views led Isaac Asimov and some of Campbell's biggest proponents to drift away from him.Friday night, we'll look at one of science fiction's most influential and controversial figures.

( All kinds of short catchy songs are welcome, so don't limit your expectations of what people will share from what I've listed below: But I promised I'd share some of the genres of songs I love singing, for you to get an idea of some of the friends/communities I've invited:
- I invited lovers of 60s, 70s, & 80s music -- both for engaging TV show themes; + artists w/short catchy songs like Styx, Cat Stevens, Beattles, ELO, Disney, Elvis, etc; + lots of amazing rock, film, pop, new wave, etc songs w/sci-fi/fantasy themes, memorable songs about space, & wacky quirky scientists...
- I'm a bellydancer, love desert sci-fi/fantasy, symbolism, exploring other cultures, + ritual songs: -- so invited bellydancers, Dances Of Universal Peace community & Bhangra-lovers: -- who know a wild array of unusual songs from around the globe & throughout history; generally short & w/catchy melody/rhythm because used for dance.
- I've invited folks who love vocal improv, as there's a gathering we do that's definitely an 'out of this world' experience.
- I love Kundalini yoga songs & of course the yoga community is coming.
- I love Celtic music, exhilarating folk ballads of any kind, & love to play, sing & dance to that music w/friends. + Ren faire rounds, & Rockabilly!
* And don't forget Andrea Bocelli - Italian arias & similar. + Barber shop quartets!
- There is so much amazing music...: I'll generally just note stuff more off the beaten track, as we'll more commonly here about stuff from the last few decades from most who come.
- Next time I'll include some links to fav songs!

🐉🌹 DESCRIPTION & AUDIO-ZOOM LINK POSTED HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sShR1kwD9Lw
🐉🌹 If a large turnout, I'm fine staying longer than 20 min; --but always arrive w/in the 1st 20 min, as we may not be there longer.
🐉🌹 **Not like my video zoom gatherings [where we see each other's faces], --but an Audio-onlyzoom group call: All screens are turned off, many people just use the zoom toll-free #, & dial in. Chat will be off (as you can't see chat if you dial in).
🐉🌹 Please disregard old notes on my youtube channel saying you need to 'like' videos, or subscribe to my channel to attend: 'Liking' is useful to get a sense of people's intetest, & subscribing is helpful to you (to make sure you get invites & last minute changes); but not required to attend.
Best wishes & look forward to sharing it w/you!
