Curiosity and Curiositier.

Mars Exploration Rover is scheduled to land on the surface of Mars at 10:31 PM Pacific Time August 5th, 2012. NASA is having a special live broadcast to celebrate the mission.

It seems they are using MacBook Pros; unless those notebook computers are made by Samsung (*zing*).

According to Bad Religion’s Twitter post, “Bad Religion” and each of the guys names are written somewhere on the Curiosity.

Bad Religion Tonight

I’m heading off to see Bad Religion again tonight, last night show was great. Tonight show is the last show of their Spring 2008 US tour.

After the show, lots of people walking backstage and it turned out to be some kind of mini High School reunion for Greg Hetson. Meanwhile, Bret Gurewitz quickly disappeared from the venue, taking out his gear and never came back. I didn’t see him for the rest of the night. Greg Graffin spent considerable amount of time with  fans, posing for pictures, etcetera, etcetera. Brooks Wackerman was talking to fans and somewhat packing his stuff. Jay Bentley was seen hanging out with the crews during the stage break-down. Brian Baker was “caught” using his iPhone while talking to some fans. One funny moment when one of the band’s acquaintances was caught taking the pizza that was supposed to be for the crew only.

That was the quick summary of what’s going on backstage with Bad Religion.
