tam6

--Forgive me if this topic has already been posted and I have missed it-- I was wondering if anyone can remember a short film played during TAM6 that was shown between presenters. The video was from the viewpoint of a "psychic" con-artist and went through several sitters and expressed the...

As if anyone needed more evidence that I don't know how to properly spend time in Las Vegas. This is what I did Monday, 6/23, from 12mid to 3am. Las Vegas after dark Yay me. (The unrelated upside is that by 10pm that night, I was enjoying the company of one Marié Digby in an intimate...

There are several people - mostly Skepchicks - who, in the months leading up to TAM6, promised me hugs, payable at TAM6. Some of you (Luciana, you are one!) were forthcoming with said hugs, and I greatly appreciated it. Those of you who, for whatever reason - timing, shyness, the close...

For those who were on the Slammer Tour at TAM6 and want to share photos, this thread is for coordination. We agreed while on the tour to use a tag of "slammertour08" on our albums, but I thought we might directly link here. Here are my photos...

My first ever comment for any of my YouTube videos! I am so proud that someone took the time to post. I only hope it isn't spam. It feels so special, I only wonder what his post means... "edition 1568 is the PROPHETIC WORK click on my name for the U R L to see how we stopped James Randi's...

Perhaps, this time, we can blame Caesar! Based on the evidence, so far, it seems to me that Rebecca did all she could to make sure this would be a rocking, lasting party!! She informed the hotel, in advance, of the situation, and it may have been the hotel that failed us. According to whatever...

Howdy all, Many of you may recall the reporter from KVBC (channel 3 in LV) who came to the main session on Friday. A number of us were interviewed by him and he told me the interviews and story on TAM should have run on Monday. Did anyone who lives in LV see the story?

I am! Man, work tomorrow is going to suck...

Ok, I went down and gambled the rent money.... (well... $10 of it) and came back up with $15.10!! I figure $5.10 isn't a huge winning, but it was enough to be worth quitting happy with. How is Vegas treating you?

Howdy all, I decided to jump the gun a wee bit and start posting pictures from TAM6. I'm cheating a smidge because this first one is of me before I left (I posted this Tuesday night - I leave tomorrow for LV)... Feel free to post your favorite pics! See ya in Vegas!!! :D

I'm so excited! My part-time employee just received notice that she is getting a scholarship to TAM6. We are both so excited. This is all last minute as I fly out tomorrow afternoon and we are just finding out right now. Thank you so much for contributing over the year making it possible...

(warning: some bragging ahead :D) At TAM5, the turnout from my state of Colorado was modest -- about eight that I know of, including myself, Grayman, Dumb All Over, Elaine, Rich Orman, Rich Ludwig (ramboelmo), some fellow named Hal Bidlack and a few others. We've improved on that number a bit...

Looking for things to do while in Las Vegas for TAM6, I discovered that Sylvia Browne will be in town at the same time. Can this be mere coincidence, or have the Spirits arranged this propinquity? :D Seems like there should be some demonstration of our feelings about how she has used her Gifts...

Ok, so my fiance won't be joining me at TAM this year, so the Barry Manilow tickets I got for her as a surprise are now available to anyone who wants them. It's not that I don't want to go alone, it's just ...well, you know.. :) The concert is Saturday the 21st at 8PM at the Las Vegas Hilton...

The last time someone sponsored me, I was in the Cinderella beauty pageant. I won second place. That was so much fun. People that frown on pageants don't know what's up. But anyway. A bank sponsored me, and at the end my mom and I wrote a thank you letter to the CEO of the bank. This was nearly...

I will PM my roommates with this information, but I am posting here also for other curious Flamingo-ites. :) Check my math, though, my numbers tend to reverse themselves. We have a 4-day reservation for a Deluxe room, the one with the special JREF discount, from 4 PM June 18th to 11 AM June...

Just got my economic stimulus rebate! Yep, May 2nd, direct deposited in my account. Within minutes it was paid to my visa I had charged my TAM 6 registration to. Here is my little thank you prayer to the powers that be.... Thank you Bush and Congress for furthering my Skeptic knowledge and...

Mine was when we all got together to watch the news footage of Sylvia Browne being led out of the Excalibur in handcuffs by law enforcement officials. Sweet! A close second was being the best man at Rebecca and Central Scrutinizer's surprise wedding ceremony - what an honor that was! Of...

I don't have kids, and I'm not going to TAM6, but I thought some of you might appreciate this article from CNN, titled "Taking the kids: Finding kid-friendly Las Vegas": http://www.cnn.com/2008/TRAVEL/getaways/04/17/las.vegas/index.html

I'm just wondering if there are any other Australians planning on going to TAM? I think there should be a small handful of us attending, and it would be great if we could get together while we're there.

I had registered for the Dinner with Randi and Friends at TAM6, but I have no idea when this dinner will be taking place. Does anyone know? I'm trying to get my plans laid out.

When I was at TAM4 a bunch of us went to Lotus of Siam for dinner, and it was a blast! :D I haven't seen a thread about this yet, so I figured I'd break the ice on it.

I have this very tentative plan... Prior to TAM6: Sunday: leave very early and head to Monument Valley, 428 miles away according to Google Earth. Monday: Monument Valley and surrounding area. Tuesday: Grand Canyon and return trip to Vegas. Anything can change at this point, though I'd really...

So, this sooper-seekrit group has schemed to bring one of the forum's most popular writers (if you go by Language Award nominations) to TAM for the first time. Dr. A has accepted the offer of assistance. Yay! I'm not the leader of this movement. The sooper-seekrit leader, who wishes to...

It is time for a pre-TAM 6 gathering in the Northeast corridor to celebrate the upcoming event. I will barbecue up mass quantities. How about some time in April...let's see if we can get a reasonable date--for starters, how about the 18th???? glenn

Howdy all, At Claus's suggestion, I decided to start this thread to pose a few questions concerning a proposed "unofficial" workshop at TAM6. There seem to be a decent number of teachers on these boards who want to some kind of explicit teacher-oriented workshop at TAM6; however, due to time...

Hi, I just registered for my first TAM, and I was wondering if the conferences have traditionally had any sort of "birds-of-a-feather" meeting concept. Previous conferences I've gone to have usually had some sort of a loosely-organized way to let people interested in certain topics get together...

SuperSeekrit TAM6 Mission The SuperSeekrit TAM6 Fund'n'Hell-Raisers have a SuperSeekrit Project which will - hopefully - bring in a couple of hundred dollars for JREF. Possibly much more. It certainly is a keeper, and has the potential of becoming a legendary trophy, or even an idol of worship...

http://www.harrahs.com/casinos/flamingo-las-vegas/ I am forbidden. You? No wait, that's just gonna invite someone to reply, "I am foreboding!" Which will beget, "I am foreshadowing." And the inevitable reply, "I am anti-shadowing." Anyway, I couldn't follow the link.

Howdy all, I just wanted to let everyone know that Athon and I have got a thread going on over at the "The Amaz!ng Meeting! and other Skeptical Events" forum. We're looking to get people interested in getting involved in a workshop at TAM6 for educators. Here's the link...
