Re: 2009 Kickoff Broadcast???

It looks like this year the Kickoff at UC Davis will not be held. Instead, we may need to travel to San Jose'. So here is the question: Can the entire Kickoff broadcast be viewed on NASA TV via the Internet? If so, we may be better off just having a local gathering with just one or two teams and paying for shipping of the KOP's.

What would be your recommendations in this situation??
I've been to the SJSU kickoff every year since 2002.

There's really no reason to come from Davis in my opinion, assuming you have access to the NASA TV feed. I'm not sure I'd want to watch it via webcast though, if there was no NASA TV access.

If you do come, there's just the video from Manchester, kit pickup, and then a Q&A period after the kickoff video is over (which really isn't worth sticking around for). You're also going to add 4 hours of wasted time driving (and you'll have to be up at like 3 in the morning).
