Chuck, try :-s as an ASCII emoticon for loony (it's really for confusion though).

Makes perfect sense. (whats the ASCII emoticon for looney?) ;-) ISON won't be circumpolar until later in December, meaning it will be visible all night from mid-northern latitudes. For several weeks after perihelion, it's still a morning object- when it's brightest, if it survives. It's best show will be over by the time it's an evening object.

One if the organizers just replied to my email saying:
+++++ Yes, we realize ISON is an early morning comet presently. So we won't be viewing it at the star party. We will be observing many other things, talking about how to observe comets, comet science, and NASA's comet mission discoveries. +++++
