Alan, You write pretty well for being dead for 11 years but we do appreciate your concerns.
Please people, give us a break. This is NOT a political event. We are celebrating Man's gumption and bravery to go into space. It has nothing to do with the US/Russian space race. Yuri was first but it could have been America too. And now we're stuck relying on the Russians to even go there after the Shuttle is retired.
If you have concerns please contact us and get the real scoop.
Thanks for letting m…

I don't see any god up here.
Yuri Gagarin, speaking from orbit in 1961
Wow! The soviet union raced to get up there first and this is the most intellimogent thing a commie can come up with? Boy howdy, let's honor um.
I see, it's all so very chic to honor an atheist communist. To hell with anything that honors America and her citizens. So all you artsy fartsy types got together and thought... hey, wouldn't we be so clever and cool to throw a party that honors humanity's first person in space! Wo…

This is your opportunity to make this year’s party the event you want! We are looking for a team of organizers to inspire, lead, and create this year’s Yuri’s Night event.
Unfortunately, I have been unable to dedicate my time to it this year, as the project I am working on at work is demanding long hours and in just a few days I will be relocating to Flori…

Hi all-
After 6 years of producing Yuri's Night in Los Angeles, I'm officially throwing in the towel. Having had the opportunity to work with Loretta, George, Alicia, Adam and Dana on all the aspects of the event, I can now say "I've thrown a World Space Party, 6 times over!" Thank you for the privilege of being part of an awesome global backstage. I will stay on in the capacity as a friend and advisor.
Thank you!
With love,
Karen Lau
