DIRECTIONS FROM THE GALAXY

Take the Blue Marble Wormhole. Get off at the Milky Way Galaxy. Follow signs for planet Earth. As you near Earth, stay in the lane for the Northern Hemisphere. Then take the exit for the North American Continent. Look for the beam of consciousness filled light.  There's a lot of them, ours will be the largest.  You can't miss it. Follow it on in. Please use your craft's invisibility cloak so as not to scare the humans. Our parking area is not large enough to accommodate you, plan on beaming in. There will be humans that will recognize you; have fun playing with them. There's a special gift bag of goodies for the first 2 space travelers each day! Tell us which planet or galaxy you are from to see if you are a lucky winner. Enjoy the show and thank you for coming all this way just to see us!
