Remember, for all of those folks on the East Coast, Phil, Randi, Ben Radford, SGU and many other of your favorite skeptc/science types all come to the giant Dragon*Con event. It is kind of like a TAM, without the casinos and the desert…. oh, and LOTS of geeks in costume.

That will be on September 4th – 7th, Downtown Atlanta this year.

London??? Now I’m excited. When will you have the exact (or even approximate) programme and guest list for October? I still don’t know if I can get off work, but I’d love to come if it works out!

Whats with all the love for Bill Prady? I don’t get it. The show is based onj making fun of some characters based on tired and incoherent stereotypes, with the occasional sympathetic nod coming out of nowhere. It’s just the usual Hollywood Genius crap with jokes sprinkled in. Granted, the jokes are funny, bit Bill PRady certainly cannot claim to be any sort of boon for skepticism. Not on the basis on this show.

So, again, why all the love?

The hotel is very reasonable & I’ve booked my stay!

Question, though: What’s the theme this year? I have a vague memory of an announcement, but I may be running my years together. At any rate, I don’t recall it…

Australians! No TAM yet, but the Rogues from the Skeptic’s Guide to the Universe are due down your way sometime in 2010. Some mention of this in podcast

w00t! Thankfully, I live right here in Las Vegas, I’m literally less than 5 minutes from the South Point. Holy cow, I’ll get to see James Randi AND Phil?

*squeeeeee!*

Please tell me you’ll be signing books, Phil!
*crosses fingers*

Brilliant! Can’t wait for TAM London! Does this mean I might get to see you and Richard Wiseman in the same place at the same time? Because, you know, I’ve always had this theory that you’re actually the same guy pulling some wierd kind of stunt!

Sigh.. I wish I could go to Las Vegas, but it’s so far away from he… London? As in the place that’s only one hour away by plane?

Ok, October 3-4 is now marked as “busy” in my calendar.

London is great … check out what kind of slogans you can see on buses here: http://is.gd/i1dp
“Science flies you to the moon. Religion flies you into buildings.”

London, it just due west from where I live – a little longer trip than from Amsterdam but, yeah, tempting since I haven’t been to London, yet. And the semester shouldn’t have restartet by that time… well….

@ Phil (not the Dr.),

Thanks for the tip.

Great News! I met (and had my BA book signed by) Phil at the Skeptics in the Pub meet in London last year. Phil gave a great talk, but it was disappointing that Randi couldn’t make it too and the whole thing was over too quickly. I hope Randi will be at the London TAM.

London? That’s only a cheap one-hour flight away from Amsterdam… very tempting!

That should have been (Sigh) – Why is it always London?, but I used angle brackets instead, and it must have been interpreted as HTML code. Oh well. (sigh).
