tam 7

I've been to 6 TAMs (all the Vegas ones) and I have to nominate TAM 7 as the friendliest. TAM 4 might have been the best because of the science content and TAM 5 might be the funniest because of Peter Sagal and the last time I think we saw Julia Sweeney. And it might be that this is just my...

I'm wondering if anyone is interested in posting links to all their photos from TAM7. I figured I'd start a thread for that. I saw another thread dedicated to someone else's photos and didn't want to hijack it. My TAM7 Photos are all posted on Flickr here under my user name: Mully410

Have I met you yet? I really want to make sure I meet everyone I know, and I think I've done a pretty good job of it, but I'm going to be frustrated if I get home and read a thread and think "You were there?!? And I didn't meet you?!?" I'll be here through Monday some time, find me!! I'm...

This is awesome! (will cross-post in community) http://www.ustream.tv/channel/jref-office

I am very pleased to announce that mind-reader extraordinaire Banachek, and top Vegas comedy magician Mac King, have been added to the line-up for the Thursday night show! Banachek, acknowledged as one of the world’s leading mentalists, is a long-time friend of James Randi and The Amaz!ng...

Just wondering if anyone wants to take a helicopter to the grand canyon? Or if anyone wants to go by other means before TAM starts, I'm open to suggestions. If you have any pointers, please share, this is a first for me.

Since I have to miss the last two days of TAM, I am making up for it by coming in early to hang out with my mom, and anyone else who looks interesting. As part of that, we are planning a day trip on Wednesday, probably to Zion/Bryce Canyon National Parks (depending on weather, mood, etc.). Is...

I find it difficult to believe that there is not a thread up for people looking to split the cost of a hotel room at TAM7. So now there is... I am looking for a roommate for TAM7. I have reserved a room with two queen size beds, and if someone would be willing to go halvsies that would be...

Hi everyone! I'll be coordinating the volunteers again at TAM7. I'm running late, as seems to be the case these last two years, and I'm sorry if I left anyone hanging. If you are interested in helping out at TAM7 could you please post here, PM me, or email me at scott (at sign should be here)...

A note to all who are attending TAM 7 - you will want to be around on Sunday 12 July 2009 at 1pm for the Live Challenge Test of Connie Sonne. Assuming Ms. Sonne appears (and we have no reason to believe she won't) it's going to be a heck of a test with a huge audience and all kinds of...

I didn't see a thread like this, so figured I'd start one, for all the people like me who are trying to cut down costs on attending TAM7. So, would anyone like to split the cost of a room at South Point? I'm a woman, so would prefer to room with other women. I can easily sleep on the floor...

Dear Forum Members: Just a note to attract attention to this year's call for papers. The link to this year's call is buried a bit in the TAM7 webpage under workshops, but here it is as well: http://www.csufresno.edu/physics/rhall/jref/tam7p/papers_tam7.htm I welcome anyone that feels they have...

Somebody had to start it. For now I'll just fill in everything I found in other threads. I'll try to keep it updated. Also including 'official' evening events so as to make planning easier. Please help filling in any ??'s, also it would be nice to have estimated ending times for events. Will...

I'm definitely going to the Penn & Teller show during TAM, but can't make up my mind on whether I should go on Saturday or Sunday. What day are all of the cool people going on? :) (Oh, and I apologize in advance if this shouldn't be a separate thread. I kind of wanted to make it a little...

Registration is now open, so here's the place to say "hell yeah, I'm registered, I'm attending!" Please ignore the "planning to attend" thread so it will slink away and die.

The TAM 7 website is now live! Registration is open, the speaker list is there, and there was much rejoicing. Feel free to comment here. If you find any problems with the site, please feel free to contact Jeff or me so we can take a look. Enjoy! I can't wait for July! I hope to see as many...

As we all know, over the past couple of years the Official Forum Party (aka the Skepchick/Forum Party at TAM 6) has been shut down at unfortunately early hours by hotel security. On behalf of an organization that was considering sponsorship of a Forum Party at TAM 7, I made a discrete inquiry...

Okay, so we're bringing the Peanut with us to TAM. We're also bringing a sitter, but even so, we'd like advice from anyone else who has done the child-at-TAM thing. We'd also like to chat with anyone else who is planning on bringing their offspring to TAM this year. She's a pretty grown-up 9...

...keep those Skeptics rolling.... It has been noted in the TAM7 Hotel thread that the Southpointe Casino contains, among other amenities, a 64-lane bowling center. This of course led to the thought of a JREF bowling tournament. Hokulele was in Vegas this month and was kind enough to take the...

No, this is not the legally binding roll-call list that will surely spring up in a few months. This is the "Hey, as things stand right now, I'm planning to be at TAM 7" thread. I'll start by saying we are. And since someone is bound to ask: * TAM 7 is July 9 - 12, 2009. * Held at South Point...

I've just come back from a week in Vegas, and had promised a few people to take a look at the South Point Casino, where TAM 7 will be held, and report back. So, here it is. I'll break it down into a few sections dedicated to some of the events we've had in the past, so those interested in a...

As several of you may already know, I help run a convention named CONvergence, which occurs every 4th of July weekend in Minneapolis, MN. CONvergence just had it's 10th convention, with attendees numbering 3,200+. As the name implies, CONvergence is a sci-fi/fantasy/genre convention that...

So I'm starting to plan my trip to the US for TAM7. I figure it'll be good to start now, considering I'm really hopeless at planning stuff. I'll need some advice/help from folks already vaguely in the area. Pardon me if I think out loud here. I've never travelled much, and every time I have...

The party formerly known as the Forum Party was great while it lasted. The suite was great, there was much fun and commiseration, and the liquor was flowing. All until security shut it down--much earlier than anybody (except the poor residents of the nearby rooms) wanted. I think that the...

I saw this posted by "Bunny" on the Penn and Teller board (gotta love Google reader!), can anyone confirm? (I was at TAM6 Friday but had to leave to due to other commitments)
