To everyone in the Denver area: my talk scheduled for Thursday night December 11th at the Denver Museum of Science & Nature has been canceled. Looks like there weren’t enough pre-registrations (too close to the holiday season maybe?), and so they decided to postpone the talk until next year. I apologize to anyone who was planning on attending. I’m always hoping to do more events in the local Denver metro area (including Boulder of course), so I’m sure other things will turn up. Sorry about this.

You should have mentioned your Close Personal Friend possibly showing up. I bet that would have brought the crowds in.
By the way, how many pre-registrations do they need for a talk like that?

Rats! Still hoping to get you down to DU sometime…

I was very disappointed to get the call from the museum this morning. I hop the reschedule will be soon!

I’m actually kind of glad – I want to attend, but I had a conflict on the 11th.

So Phil, any talks in Europe planned? The Netherlands maybe?

Bummer! My wife and I had already arranged a babysitter that night so we can attend…I didn’t see anywhere on the Museum site where you could pre-register…must have missed it.

That’s to bad, I was looking forward to this. Quite a few folks from the Denver skeptics were going to attend this, would you be interested in doing a impromptu Denver Skeptics meetup instead? Seeing as how people were planning on heading out that way anyways it might it make for a good excuse to get some folks together and knock back a few drinks.

Nooooooooooooo, I’ve been really looking forward to this!

Unfortunately I don’t think I can come down to Denver Thursday now. I have a flight early Friday and some thing I have to prep for, so Thursday evening will be panicked enough as it is.
And MHS I’d love to go back to Europe, and I’m hoping to go back sometime in the next year or two. I/when it happens, bet on me posting about it. A lot.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Come down for a few beers anyway and we will see someone gets you to the airport Friday

Of course he does.

I’m really sorry to hear this, I was planning on attending, I didn’t know you had to pre-register or I would have. I’m a huge fan and just so honored to live in the same state, maybe seeing you in person would have been too much anyway

Jen and I were looking forward to that; very disappointing. Sorry Phil. Let the Denver Skeptics know if pre-registration is helpful and we’ll mob them for you next time.

OK, I’m slow-witted. I saw this when it was posted, and I thought, “Oh, that sucks.” But it JUST NOW occurred to me: if they’re postponing it until next year, and if I’m moving to Denver in January (which I am), that means…
I CAN BE THERE!!!
WOO HOO!!!

AS much as that sucks that it was postponed, I’m actually glad it is rescheduled for next year. That way I’ll only be as far away from Denver as Laramie!
