The press event was a huge success! Thank you to everyone who showed up, and special thanks to Kush for letting us host the event.

Thanks to our media campaign (thanks to Kari and Phil!) there are already some news stories:

Brooklyn Daily Eagle: ‘Let’s Get Married — In Space!’ by Caitlin McNamara. We made the front page of this paper – above the fold! Thanks to Matt Y. for picking me up a physical copy.

Noah and I will be hosting a launch party, press conference and blogger meet-up* at 7:00pm on Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009 at the Kush Lounge:

The Kush
191 Chrystie St. (@ Stanton St.)
New York, NY 10002
Lower East Side
7:00pm – 10:00pm

It’s one small step for man, one potentially nausea-inducing leap for matrimony. A couple of space enthusiasts are getting married in zero gravity, so they’re throwing a party for what promises to be a history-making event. Drop in to get the how’s and why’s behind their wedding, which will take place aboard something called the “Vomit Comet.” There’ll be space-themed music, free Space Food Sticks to munch on, and a custom-made zero gravity wedding gown will even be on display.

*The press conference will run from 7:30-8:00 followed by a question and answer session. This will be an opportunity to meet us, get a press pack and take pictures of the dress.

Tell your friends!
