The Amaz!ng Meeting London is now just a couple of weeks away, and we’re busily working on making it a real extravaganza. I’m very excited about our speaker lineup and all the activities planned!
Tickets sold out rapidly, but we still have a (very) small number held in reserve for special events. One way to score these tickets is through a pair of Ebay auctions… but not for the tickets themselves. Instead, you can bid on a private session with skeptical musician George Hrab, or on a Moon landing DVD and replica newspaper signed by me. The winners of these auctions will then have the chance to buy up to two TAM London tickets. Both auctions close on September 22, so get your bids in quickly!
One big reason we’re having TAM London in the first place is to promote skepticism internationally. To further that cause, we’re opening up the floor to nominations for The James Randi Award for Outstanding Contribution to Skepticism (UK). Do you know someone in the UK who has done an outstanding job spreading the word about critical thinking? A podcaster, blogger, writer, teacher, whatever? Then submit their names online for consideration! Noted skeptic, psychologist, and TAM London MC Richard Wiseman together with the JREF will choose the recipient of the award. Hurry! We’re only taking names until Wednesday, September 23.

Cripes, I hadn’t realised it was that close… I’m now panicing that I’ve forgotten something. Hotel booked, yes, train tickets on fridge… no, I think I’m good.

What, no Derren Brown?
TAM seems like it would be a perfect venue for him.

I hope you’ll have more room next year. I didn’t even get to decide whether I had money enough to go.
Ben Goldacre or Simon Singh is gonna win. David Colqhuon on the outside. But you really should consider Geoff Pullum.

Can’t wait for TAMLondon *bounces*
Just wish the darn London postal strike would let our tickets through. I know there are alt arrangements in place but still…

You have to start thinking about exporting TAM! to Germany!

I nominated Simon Singh. My second choice would’ve been Ben, of course.

Colbert.

Hmm, I was going to nominate Richard Wiseman for the Award. Awkward.

And this is how it should be. Not me coming to TAM, but TAM coming to me
I agree that it’s going to be Ben Goldacre or Simon Singh.
