We are quite pleased to announce that Yuri’s Night co-creator, George T. Whitesides is now Senior Advisor at NASA Headquarters in Washington DC. Previously Whitesides was the Executive Director of the National Space Society and a Senior Advisor to Virgin Galactic. He is pictured here on a mock up of the Apollo 11 lunar lander used in the filming of the HBO special “From the Earth to the Moon” at the very first Yuri’s Night in 2001 being interviewed by MTV about Yuri’s Night and it’s vision of bringing together music and space.

We wish Whitesides all the best in his new role at NASA

Yuri’s Night Gear Page open

Monday, February 9th, 2009

With less than two months until the start of Yuri’s Night 2009 (remember, YN2009 parties are running from April 4-12), events are being added every day and the new, revamped website is coming together. To that end, the new Yuri’s Night Gear website is now online; you can check it out at on the Yuri’s Night Gear Page.

The most important part of the Gear page, of course, is the Party Pack, a perennial Yuri’s Night event favorite. This year’s Party Packs will feature the classic YN T-shirt, a lapel pin, light-up bouncy ball, and dozens of stickers and temporary tattoos. One comment we’ve frequently gotten from larger parties is that this just isn’t enough, that there should be an easier way to purchase extra bouncy balls or tattoos. We’ve listened to you and added the ability to purchase extras of individual items on the Gear page, right below the Party Pack entry.

Yuri's Night T's available at Zazzle.com

Don’t worry–our extensive line of T-shirts, hoodies and other products are still up for sale. We’ve moved to a new printing company, Zazzle, and you can view our store on the Gear Page or go directly to Zazzle.com now.

Let us know if you have any interesting ideas for Yuri’s Night-themed products, and we’ll take them into account. All purchases of Yuri’s Night gear help pay for our operating expenses, and feel free to buy YN gear even if you’re not running a party. (We’d love it if you did run one, though.)
