tam3

Hi All! I am very much looking forward to TAM5 and thought to myself, as I finalized my flight plans, that it has been a while since I've posted on this forum. I thought it was time to re-connect with those I've spent time with at TAMs 3 & 4, Skeptic Society events and other interesting...

I know there were pictures taken of the Forumites at TAM3, 'cos I was in it! Can someone point me to where I might download it, pretty please? :D :D :D

For those who missed TAM3, here is the TAM3 crossword: http://www.shanekillian.org/files/TAM3Crossword.pdf (Thanks to Shanek for hosting.) Although I did not know that it would happen, the author of the quotation in the puzzle was given prominent recognition at least twice during TAM3...

Let's fess up! Eos pulling the lever on my first slot experience, after MLynn took all that time to explain the "rules"! I was so nervous my hands were shaking! Then I sat ready to push the button when Eos reached over and pulled the lever (we both thought the lever was just for show!)...

Stop moping around in your post-TAM3 depression stupor! Click the link and relive the glory...as if it were yesterday once more. http://members3.clubphoto.com/dean242335/2959809/ Apologies to any Forum deviants (redundant?) who were hoping for explicit pix of all the extra-curricular affairs.

Hard to pick just one.... but... Listening to my hero, Dr.Joe Nickell, talk about his hurt back and neck - and saying totally deadpan, "I know the name of a good chiropractor I can reccomend here in Vegas" and hearing the laughter of my other hero, The Amazing Randi at my side. There was...

There have been times in my life when I felt the sting of guilt due to words I've spoken and indeed actions I've taken. It's not unusual for me to feel remorse for something I've done, and to chide myself for it afterward. No, not unusual at all -- just extremely rare. And that's not to say...

Flew into St. Louis -> 6 degrees outside. Took forever to get my luggage; I think they had one person unloading the whole plane. Had to break the ice off to get my wipers free. Plane left at 4 PM PT, 2.5 hour flight. Got home at 11 PM CT, and had some ramen. Oh, yeah... the meeting...

I hereby humbly apologize to everyone at TAM3 whom I should know from TAM2 but managed to forget. I also apologize for the fact that I cannot keep track of forum IDs vs. real names. This is why my forum ID is Paul C. Anagnostopoulos. If I stare at your chest, it is only because I want to know...

I started my JREF membership when I registered for TAM3 back in August, yet I haven't recieved any kind of confirmation. I was just wondering how long it took you guys to recieve your stuff in the mail, I would hate to get to Vegas and find out there's a problem.

Okay, when are people coming in? Time? Leaving? Time?

If you're going to TAM3 and need to put faces to names, put your picture up here! This is me, but I won't have the growth out of my right ear, which has now been surgically removed.....

Hey guys. New JREF member, new to the forum, and new to TAM. Help me out here guys. I need some direction on what to wear and what to do when the convention is done at the end of each day. Are these "strip crawls" and chocolate open to the public or is there some horribly embarassing...

I just discovered the previous thread I started about volunteers is missing, as are all my PMs. :eek: If you volunteered by posting in that thread or sending me a PM, could you please do it again or email me at scott (at) randi (dot) org? I should have saved a local copy. I'm sorry.

Does anybody have any thoughts about bringing spouses/significant others to TAM3 that aren't going to take part in the main events. My wife wants to go. I'm a little nervous about exposing her to you guys and your skeptic ways as it is seeing that she's a catholic. Of course she's been...

I know it's early, but I'm starting to look at airfare (buy this far ahead, and you can save serious dough) and I'm curious about the schedule at TAM3. I want to make sure I catch every session. Can anyone provide some rough guidance as to how things will be scheduled? When will the opening...

Those of you who attended TAM2 will still remember the most delicious part of the meeting, the TAM2 Chocolate Challenge [shameless self-adulation] - which, as I may, without any undue humility (;)), remind you, was my idea. [/shameless self-adulation] I hope, though, that you do not remember...

The TAM3 Scholarship Fund drive started several weeks ago. Since I can´t contribute any money - it will be a tight fit to get there myself - I wracked my brain think of another contribution, and I had another of my (IMHO) slightly whacky but (also IMHO) interesting ideas. How about auctioning...

I will! HOW, you ask??? Actually, I hadn't dedicated a single thought to it. I'm so into my work, I can't hardly keep up with my laundry, let alone a trip. But then Kitty says - hey, Pool Boy has these frequent flyers miles, and he has to use them up these week, what dates would you choose for...

I thought there was a thread on which hotel everyone was booking, but I can't find it. (ok I didn't look that hard ) I also thought Kitty? mentioned something about getting coupons for tokens or something, that there is a site you can go to. hmm not sure what other questions I should ask soo...

Dear Forum, The official call for papers for TAM3 is now posted on the JREF home page. This year we have an official application form to help with the submission requirements and the selection process. The presentations will be 20 minutes (with an additional 5 minutes for questions) and we...

There is a $69 charge for a thursday workshop. I can't seem to find out what is part of this workshop? Course materials?

After reading Mr.Randi's commentary for this week, I think it would be really interesting, and generate some publicity, if we also stage a mass homeopathic suicide at TAM3. We should get some press out of it, and if we all do drop dead, well, the point of where to have TAM4 will be solved...

"How do we teach Critical Thinking, Skeptical Behavior, and the use of the Scientific Method in this modern age?" (And I think that's a self-explainatory title if I ever saw one.) I'll even volunteer to be a panelist or the moderator, and yes, I qualify for both.
