Remember, Renata is watching...Exactly. Mix in a little alcohol, and sometimes they forget they're "taken".![]()
I second liking this term!The Amazing Mingle.
The problem, here, is that some attendees might be going to TAM alone, but might still be loyal to someone else back home.1. JREF notes registrations for people who are attending alone.
Sounds fair, so far. However, what if someone is a no-show?2. JREF randomly pairs single attendees. Your assignment will be noted in your registration packet.
Also sounds mostly fair, as far as I am concerned. I suppose we could make exceptions in cases of abusive behavior, and such.3. The Thursday night reception is the one and only allowed time for making trades. From that point forward, you are with your special friend for the remainder of the event.

Also, some folks might be travelling with others whom they are not actually "with".
JREF will need to add a checkmark, to each registry entry: "Would you like to be part of our random mingling program?"

We can iron out the details later. But, I think we are on the right track.
Please, please, please tell me that this includes being handcuffed to their person???
Well, with this crowd, I suspect handcuffs aren't as great an impediment as you'd expect. It's, like, 96% magicians.
We can make that an option.Please, please, please tell me that this includes being handcuffed to their person???
Can anyone think of any others?
I just got one question: Who's gonna go out to the strip and fetch enough hookers to create gender parity?
This too, except Wednesday is my regularly scheduled day off, so I that's my sleeeeeeeep day.I usually try to take a broken-up week off of work, Wednesday to Tuesday, coming home Monday so I have a day to sleeeeeeep before going back to the grind.
This is why I've been trying for year to get a system of lapel pins established! Red means stop, Green means you're Tobias, Yellow means you drink beer.....I might need to put more thought into this.....
You're on a roll, Horatius! I really like the idea of the lapel pins at the Del Mar, and I like the name "The Amazing Mingle" too!The Amazing Mingle.
Look, SouthPoint is fully set up for rodeos and such. Registrants can pay extra to wield a lasso. Release the other attendants into the arena and let the ropers snatch their choice from the herd.
No need to organise anything. Just kick back and wait for the hetro charged sausage fest that is 'Skeptics In The Tub' to kick off.![]()

4. Are you willing to donate an additional $50 to JREF to avoid getting Dr. Buzz0 randomly chosen as your buddy? (If you ARE Dr. Buzz0, please ignore this question.)
