tam2

Today I celebrate the completion of my project that memorialized The Amazing Meeting 2. Silly me, I thought the project would take an hour or two to complete. As it happened, it took longer. Much longer. The project is a display of photographs and artifacts from my visit to Las Vegas in...

Hi, I know y'all are discussing TAM3, but I thought I'd post my account of TAM2 which I wrote - with liberal quotes from others on this forum - for the UK ASKE newsletter. Thanks to my sources(quoted). cheers xenu A quick account of a trip to Las Vegas, (‘Sin City’, ‘Lost Wages’, etc – I...

I've found a number of write-ups/ summaries/ reviews of the meeting on the web. This might overlap with the pictures thread:http://www.randi.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?s=&threadid=34172 but I thought a thread with links to these might be useful since some comentaries don't include pictures...

So, my furnace died. This on a weekend and it is bitterly cold. I went down to my neighbors to warm up while the nice repair guy broke into his buddies workshop to steal a motor for the furnace. I say to my neighbor, "Boy, this is going to be expensive. I'm so glad I went to TAM before this...

"Does the account manager take PayPal?" Trust me...if you were there, you'd be rolling!

How were they?

If anyone was planning a thread like this one, and I've muscled in on your idea, I apologize. A few folks have posted briefly about their TAM2 experiences in Moe's thread, as well as in a few others, but I figured we could use this thread to post our thoughts about the conference in full and...

Can you hear my sobs as I type the subject? Well, I'm not really sobbing, but, I am a little sad. It was so wonderful. So, so wonderful. Meeting everyone was such a joy. The speakers were excellent, and the company a pleasure. I said my goodbyes last night and this morning, and now I'm...

For us poor skeptics who didn't attend, yet thrive on gossip: 1) who hooked up with whom? Will Tam2 result in any skepbabies? 2) Any drunken acts that anyone regretted the next day (any photos of such acts)? 3) Anyone get any skepchick souveniers (thinking of the pj party here....) 4) Any...

This idea was generated over dinner with Claus, budddyh and Finella- all great people. We figured as people find out great restaurants, good deals, etc- post them here for other Tamsters, in lieu of a bulletin board...assuming attendees can read JREF at TAM Tip 1. Absolutely great Thai...

Many of you will be in transit now, so would you mind just dropping by here when you arrive, if you can. And send some pics if you can too. Us losers who wanted to come but couldn't want to see what we are missing out on... *sniff*

Hi! So far, I´ve had several accounts from friends and family to "tell us everything that happened" when I´m back from TAM2. (Especially describing the skepchicks :) ) I´ve decided to take lots of notes, and it came to my mind: why not start a (semi-official) journal of TAM2? That way, those of...

Greetings, I have gotten a number of phone calls and e-mails regarding my seance talk at TAM2. So for those that may be wondering what the talk will include, here is the basic information that I sent to Linda a few months back: Magician Rick Maue (author of The Book Of HauntedMagick) will...

With some many additional events going on, MoeFaux asked me to put together a schedule. I did so, and thanks to Girl 6 and MoeFaux reviewing it, it's now suitable for posting. Thank you for your help, ladies! Event..................................Day......DOW....Start...End...Status...

OK, the more socially nervous in the group are probably breaking out in a sweat at the thought of TAM2. Sure it will be fun, but it will be 500 people for gosh sakes! As we remember, last year the young lady we thought was just coming to the meeting with wet hair wrapped in a tshirt was...

Hi Everyone, There are no more funds in the TAM2 scholarship fund. :( On the bright side, we were able to some of the forum members to the conference because of it. I am hearing from yet another person that would like to attend. Unfortunately, that isn't going to happen unless I raise...

Hello all - On Sunday, after The Amazing Meeting is over, the Humanists of Las Vegas and Southern Nevada (www.halvason.org) are having their monthly meeting at 2 p.m. at The Las Vegas Library Program Room, 833 N. Las Vegas Blvd. All TAM2 goers are all invited. Clark Adams, Public Relations...

As with TAM1, my wife gave me a special TAM2 T-short for Christmas. It is inscribed with words that only Bill Hoyt knows, and he is not telling. The rest of you will just have to wait. ~~ Paul

Hi. By now, I guess, most people will have their TAM2 plans pretty much finalised. I'll be taking my 'Significant Other' (My Insignificant Other will be staying at home :) ) and I was curious as to who else will be taking guests who are not attending the full conference. Basically, Is there...

Some weeks ago, on the thread where Zakur, I think, told us he had broken his shoulder, (can´t find the thread right now), someone (I think it was not Zakur himself) offered to show an interesting scar on his shoulder at TAM2 to raise funds for JREF. Back then, I offered to also show my own...

I guess I am slow on the uptake sometimes, but I just found out Dean Cameron will be at the meeting. I downloaded the TAMII flyer and recognized him immediately. He is a wonderful comedic actor, and I have always wondered why his career didn't take off. Anyway, that's one more reason to be...

Alright... :D I saw that list of people who are going. There will be a nice sized contingent of skepchicks from the forum. So, what do you say about meeting together for lunch? I'm not entirely sure of the schedule and what the plans are. So, we are flying blindly here. However, perhaps...

Hi Everyone, Well, since Mr. Randi doesn't really read the forum a lot, I thought it would be safe to post this here. :) Last year at TAM1, we presented a present to James Randi on behalf of the forum. I'd like to see if there is any interest in doing this again. Please post on here if you...

Okay JREF writers, What do we want to do as a group, if anything, at TAM2? Sound off. . .

I am trying to book my flight, and have wearily wandered through a score of threads, trying to figure what is happening when. Can some kind soul^h^h^h^h person please gather some incentive and collate all the unofficial (oh, what the heck, official things too) things that are happening at TAMII...

If you haven't posted a picture of yourself to the members photo thread, make sure you post one here so that people will recognize you. This is especially important for people who are shy... like me. If you don't have a picture, open up windows Paint and make a drawing of yourself. Anonymity...

OK, Renata started a thread a time ago on who is planning on attending TAM2. Today, at only 3.5 months from the event, I think it's time to create a thread on who will attend TAM2. It may be useful for the organizers to know how many people are seriously comitted to attend to make attendance...

I heard he died today. 95 years old? You could have knocked me over with a feather! Will Penn still perform without him?

Dear TAM2 organisers, The prospect of an Aussie axolotl attending TAM2 is increasing, but what would be REALLY helpful in making up our minds is seeing at least the outline of a timetable of events. Of course things will change right up to and including the last minute, but just a simple list...
