Meet us at the North Carolina Zoo this Saturday -- ScienceBlogs will pay for your ticket!

By dmunger on September 16, 2008.

Greta and I will be at the North Carolina Zoo this coming Saturday, September 20, to meet with readers and practically all of the North Carolina ScienceBloggers. We've arranged a special tour of the zoo with an expert member of the zoo staff, a party afterwards at a local watering hole, and now, ScienceBlogs will provide tickets to the zoo too!

Not only will Greta and I be there, you can also meet Bora Zivkovic, Sheril Kirshenbaum, James Hrynyshyn, Abel PharmBoy, ScienceWoman, Kevin Zelnio, SciCurious, and Russ Williams, along with many of our kids!

This party is one of several taking place around the country in honor of ScienceBlogs' millionth comment. So if you're in or near North Carolina, this is a meetup you won't want to miss. And of course, bring your kids along! And if you're not in North Carolina, check this page for a gathering in your area.

The first 20 people to sign up will get free tickets to the zoo, a $10 value, courtesy of ScienceBlogs.

The meetup takes place at the North America entrance to the zoo, at 1 p.m.
