tam 10

Yeah?

A group of skeptics is meeting at the horses ass @5, to go see SB.

I thought I would start this off with myself and DisraeliEars posing in our Buzz0 for congress t-shirts, complete with original mis-spellings.

Haven't seen a thread for this yet this year. Anyone planning/wanting to get together for breakfast on Thursday as has (I'm led to believe) traditionally been done?

I happen to belong to a bit of a social skeptical group, in New York City, called The Jolly Thirteen Club. It is based on The Thirteen Club, an anti-superstition social gathering established in the 1880's. We meet on the 13th of every month, usually for dinner in some reasonably priced...

Hi, I just received some emails from D.J. today and we may need some volunteers to help at registration and check tickets. Nothing is certain yet, and at this late date I don't know if there will be volunteer t-shirts. If you are interested could you please email me at scott at randi dot org?

I think it would be a great idea to post pictures of TAMbassadors, so that we can be easily recognized and, better, already have something to talk about. :) So I'm Luciana, 36, Brazilian, travelling to Vegas for the 5th time only to attend TAMs. This year I'll do a pre-trip with other forum...

Hi all, this is my first post, I think. I tried to do this months ago, but couldn't figure out how this newfangled contraption works, then forgot about it because I was busy finishing up college. Anyway, I have very little moneys and need someone to share a hotel room. I may not be able to even...

Once again the forum will have a table at TAM with all sorts of things available for TAM attendees. For forum members there will be avatar stickers for the people who requested them. For forum members there will be JREF Forum member ribbon & Skinnematics ribbon (although anyone is welcome to...

Would you like to attend TAM 2012 but find the registration fee a barrier? If so, send me a PM. ~~ Paul

Hey, rather than trying to organize a particular game night I want to do like last couple of years and just say that I will be bringing games to the Del Mar each night and anyone else who wants to bring games is free to do so too. My games will be available for anyone to play while I am there...

There have been various discussions of security and safety at TAM elsewhere. I thought it would be useful to point out that the South Point Hotel and Casino (where TAM has been held since TAM7 in 2009) has a most excellent security staff. They are experienced with events far larger (and far...

Hey all! Pamela Gay and I are hosting a little astronomy MeetUp through CosmoQuest for the Sunday evening in Vegas after TAM. Suggestions for a place welcome! Looking for something not at South Pointe but close enough to get there for attendees. Locals welcome, as well! Please RSVP if you think...

Given the hoo-haa going on re: skepchicks/rebecca/DJ, that title is probably going to get me into trouble....:boxedin::p Anyway, based on a desire by Luciana to see Yellowstone National Park, and given that I like meddling.....er, organizing things, a group of us are meeting up on Friday, 6...

Hi. I already paid for my TAM X membership and have a hotel room at SouthPoint Casino reserved, but now it's looking very much like I might not be able to get the time off work to come. Is there a way to cancel and get a refund? I can't seem to find any information.

I'm Steve Bauer, 54-year-old retired lawyer from Portland, OR. I have a 2-queen-bed non-smoking room Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Looking for up to 3 roommates. I request that my roomies stay reasonably sober and not steal towels, or bust furniture. (I am not looking to play resident advisor...

Last years mixer was a blast, so let's do it again. GLBT mixer at TAM Friday, July 13, 2012 6:00pm until 9:00pm At Miguel's Tequila Bar, just up the stairs across from the Silverado Lounge. It was so nice getting to meet people last year, and quite a few of us have kept in touch on the...

No, not the drink... the show! I've heard really great things about Absinthe, anyone interested in going? Here's a quote from their website: “Absinthe,” is the critically acclaimed acro-cabaret variety show. “Absinthe” is performed in the round with unobstructed sightlines and in intimate...

After the discussion on a thread or two about having TAMbassadors to answer questions, who would be willing to wear a bright button and answer questions to those who ask? I would.

Call for papers TAM 2012 Following our now ten year tradition, the James Randi Educational Foundation will once again invite proposals for short (15 minute) presentations on the Sunday morning of The Amazing Meeting in July. The Sunday Morning Papers session of TAM was established to recognize...

I've run the Poker Tournament the last two TAMs, but alas, there's a pretty good chance I won't be able to attend TAM X. So I thought I'd give you guys a heads-up, that if you want poker this year, we'll need someone to step up and take over. I can give you the details of who to contact, and...

If you've been to TAM, you know that there's an 80's band that plays in the lounge every Saturday night. I wanted to go to this last year but I didn't for some reason that I don't remember. Would anyone be interested in this?

Hey All, A few years ago I attended TAM 8 with a friend, and being that it was our first time at TAM, and new to the skeptic movement, we found it was fairly hard to meet people. I remember putting out a Tweet through the iPhone app asking if there were any others that were attending alone...

The ticket to the US in July, the cheapest, costs US$1,700. :re: To spend all that money for 4-5 in Vegas... but I really really really want to go to TAM X - I was at the 1st TAM!! - so I thought... why not make it a longer trip? I've been to many places in the US, and I've done everything...

Many have been using the twitter hashtag #TAM2012, and I think that the JREF has been promoting that hash tag, but it appears that at least two other events have been using the hash tag #TAM2012, including a conference of the Texas Association Of Museums, which is currently having their 2012...

They don't have a Wednesday show the week of TAM, so Saturday or Sunday are likely options for most people, I'd assume. Since the only official event scheduled Sunday night looks like The "Challenge", I think that's the night that I'll be heading over to the RIO. Dinner and cab splitting, anyone?

TAM 2012 registration is open, so that means it's yet again time to open the forum grant program. The forum grant program accepts donations from JREF and forum members and awards the money to worthy applicants to cover their registration fee for TAM 2012. It does not cover air fare, hotel, or...

Anyone need a roommate for TAM X? (I know I'm rather early with this, but if I can't arrange to split a room with someone sooner rather than later it's unlikely I'll be able to go at all.)

We're down to only 5 months until TAM 10 in July, so it's time to start filling your social calendars with the important events that everyone actually goes to TAM for - the side events. Add your own event, tell people about it, and do it. If there are logistics like figuring out transportation...
