August 25, 2011The guys and gals who are headed to San Francisco for the National Championships need your financial assistance to off-set the cost of getting our hurleys to the pitch.

St. Louis GAC Poc Fada
Forest Park Langenberg Field area
Saturday, August 27 @ 1 p.m.
There will be two chances to have fun and help us raise funds: 1. A social Poc Fada, and 2. A competitive Poc Fada.

Derek and a group of St. Louisans at Arch Reactor have a simple question they hope their experiment will answer: “What does space sound like?” What seems like an existential query, apparently could yield proof. The group’s satellite, which is no bigger than a coffee cup, will tumble through space and beam back whatever sounds it records. The sounds will then be made available to the public on the internet. So will the motley crew of amateur space DJs find evidence of an extra-terrestrial disco? Probably not … but you never know. Stranger things have happened … like Americans playing Gaelic sports.
