Tyson is a B.S. artist. Not as influential as Trump but a B.S. artist regardless. Both Trump and Tyson rose to prominence on the wave of an ignorant populace that values entertainment over rigor and accuracy. Fareed Zakaria talks about Trump as a B.S. artist. Zakaria quotes Harry Frankfort...

The final Too TAM Many Pix online photo album is up. The pix are as nice as I can make them look with my camera/photoshop skills. And I culled them down to 200 (10% of the frames I shot=just about right). They are all downloadable/printable. So go forth and promote TAM armed with photos. Or...

Some of you may recall my These are the Daves I know (and other people I met at TAM 5) thread from January 2007, or maybe just recall that bloke checking off everyone he met who was on the forum, or you love bacon chocolate tacos as much as I and had to click on the latest thread in the tag. So...

Hey, everybody! I was a little bit busy at TAM, and didn't get enough photos. I'm a terrible person and very sad about it now. But anyway... I would really love to include some photos of people wearing SAPS stickers at TAM on the SAPS site. If you have a photo of someone (anyone) wearing...

If you didn't make it, don't worry because nothing happened. You were much better off staying home and feeding your cat. If you want photographic proof, click here.

Since there is a photo thread, I thought that we should have a seperate video thread. I slashed together a brief TAM video (which is, in reality, little more than a video slideshow). I do not claim that it is a cinematic masterpiece, but here is the link...

I hope this isn't the wrong forum for this. Does anyone who was there on Sunday know where exactly on google-earth the presenter went to find the youtube link that took him to the image of Anonymous holding up a sign that said, "Scientology destroys families?" For that matter, does anyone...

Since I had to leave so early to be back at work :( I am back home as of Sunday 1:50PM EDT. Everybody who wants to report that they made it back home safe and sound can post it right here. All I can say is... good times. ;)

I have one major complaint regarding TAM6. I am not there. I am really jealous at all of you who managed to get there this year. So I thought it would be a good idea to start this thread with complaints about TAM6 because not everything can be as amazing as it seams, right!?! You are not all...

Hi, all. I registered for a ticket to the P&T show, which is listed as a "Saturday night show"... but when? It's not on the Flamingo's Web site. The dinner w/ Randy and Al is 8:30. So when's the show? After the dinner? I'm signed up for both, so I need to know. Maybe it's listed somewhere...

While there are a number I'd like to get photos with, I'm usually too shy, but I will get a photo with Matthew Chapman.

Okay -- how much should the buy-in be? Total cost = ($25 to the house) + (a slice for the JREF) + (pot which will come to me)

So, I'm thinking of organizing a trip to see male strippers. I only got 1 person who seemed interested in the TAM activities forum, but I thought I'd post a seperate thread to see if I can get any more takers. Also, I'm hoping someone out there can give me some advice as well. Which is...

... besides Randi I mean. :) I imagine there must be several conjurers and artful deceivers attending. As a former professional magician (long ago) and a current hack amateur of the worst sort, I thought it might be fun to have an informal get together.

Hello all! I'm coordinating dinner at Quark's again - who's in? For those of you who haven't been to the Star Trek Experience in Vegas: http://www.startrekexp.com/ For those of you who have not been, I highly recommend doing "The Experience." This will be dinner at Quark's, which is always...

...but I will be there for TAM 7! I can't go because I just got word I'll be doing an internship for CFI at their HQ. So take pictures for me! Engage in debauchery in my name, you have my permission! And have fuuunnn! I'll be thinking of all of you. -Disko

As if TAM 6 wasn't going to be exciting enough on its own, there's now an entirely new event guaranteed to keep your toes tingling! The Golden Pigasus Raffle! An enticing combination of fun, prizes... and chocolate! Here's how it works: 1. Once TAM is underway, get your fine self to the...

First, let me thank anyone who purchased a Darwin08 t-shirt from NYC Skeptics. I'd like to propose that all of us attending TAM6 wear our Darwin08 t-shirts on the same day..say, Friday? We will express solidarity, and save the moment for posterity on film (or the digital equivalent). :-)...

So... I am adding this new thread as the other one is really cluttered with posts, most of them older ones from people who are no longer looking for roommates. I am going to suggest that we post offers of rooms or 'wanted' ads here, and do the rest of the working out of details over PM to keep...

Just an idea, not original, taken from the GenCon Stink party (you have to know GenCon or gamers to know why it is named thus) but there is a little game they play called the passport game, that is ideal for getting to know people at the start of a con. For this game people are given little...

I'm looking for a good, and not too expensive, costume shop in Vegas. Does anyone have any leads?

...it's been BOOKED! I just saw Rebecca's twitter that indicated the party suite is booked. Now, where is she so that she can tell us when it is? I'M SO EXCITED. :D:D:D:D Also, I request people to either dress up in costume or wear their most geeky/science-y/skeptical/nerdy/awesome shirt they...

Yes, I can use guides (I've never been to Vegas), but I'd like to have recommendations from you folks as well. :cool: What are good restaurants/buffets to eat at in Vegas? Which ones should I avoid? I eat pretty much any type of food. Speaking of which, I have heard bad stories about some...

Since others are talking about pre-TAM events, I figured that I'd post an idea as well. How about a pre-TAM event in the Chicago area? Anyone interested?

Hey guys, I just got my tax return so I'm all set to register for TAM. This year I was hoping to arrive earlier than my other TAMs so I can get the most from my vacation and maybe even volunteer. Tuesday afternoonish? I wanted to start a thread where people could say when they are getting...

In addition to the discounted Penn and Teller show, I'd like to catch a Blue Man show and possibly O Cirque du Soleil, although I am undecided on "O" because it is hideously expensive. Is anyone else planning on attending these? :D I would be there June 18th-22nd, so I would be catching them...

It appears that most TAM attendees are of drinking age, and while I'm mentally over 21, chronologically I'm 19. So, I was thinking of networking/organizing something with the younger TAM attendees on the non-forum party night. Whadya think? I think Kitty made a thread like this for TAM 5, but...

In the past few TAMS I have either organized or participated in trips outside the Strip in Las Vegas. But having seen Hoover Dam, Red Rocks, and the Grand Canyon in the past several years, I would like to branch out and see something I haven't seen, something that can be done (or at least...
