Neutron Stars & Gamma Ray Bursts 2009, Library of Alexandria, Egypt

[Rob Seaman]

We have a lot to talk about from the many excellent sessions at IVOA  
and ADASS, but I also found this in my in-box.  Anybody planning to  
attend?  This might be the coolest venue for a meeting ever (well,  
since the old one burnt down).
