Okay then, Saturday, January 13 is the date for the New England Pre-Tam Bash, also known as TAM4.9836. Cynthia and I will host it at our home in Carlisle, Massachusetts. PM me for address and directions.

The bash starts at 2 pm, with a pot-luck supper later on, to allow late-comers a chance to have something to eat. We will provide all manner of drinks, while the rest of you will provide the food. Don't everyone bring tuna casseroles, please. The party breaks up by 10 pm.

KittyNH has kindly offered to chauffer people from Boston. Please PM her to arrange a time and pickup spot.

Post here if you can attend. Don't miss out on the chance to gossip about TAM before it happens.

I'll be there. I'll bring chicken fingers from the Chicken Shack, cleverly disguised as a tuna casserole.

I can pick up and drop off people at the North Billerica train station, or Alewife T station if they ask nicely.
 
Me, myself and I will attend. We can't all afford to go to Las Vegas, so this will be as much TAM as the other two will get.

I'll think up something to disguise as tuna casserole.

M-A :moose:
 
I may have to go to Belgium for work at about that time. I won't know until next week. I want to go because I love all you guys and I won't be going to TAM this year. I need my dose of rationality (and just good old camaraderie)!

Belgium!!!

Bring back chocolates!

Yum, chocolates. I plan to bring back many. When last my coworker went to Belgium, she brought back about $400 worth of chocolates. I'm not so crazy, but I'll bring some back.
 
go to a food store, like Del Haze (look for the Lion). Buy the store generic brand (dark chocolate is best). Even the cheap store brand is BY LAW better than anything made in the US. Leonidas is great fun, and you get a pretty package, but for bringing home go to a food store. They will have an excellent selection.

Leon's in Brussels is THE place to eat. Ignore all the other flashy toursit restautrants...Leons, and you will like mussels. I have to say that Hector Chicken is really good for fast food. Very yummy! Do not eat at Quickie Burger. DO NOT EAT AT QUICKIE BURGER!!!


DO NOT (AM I BEING CLEAR HERE?) EAT AT QUICKIE BURGER!!!!!!!!
(remember, you have to pay to use the toilets, you will go broke if you EAT AT QUICKIE BURGER!!!)
 
It looks like I'm going to be able to make it to the pre-TAM bash. And so is my sister Cap'n Chaos (tentatively). For anyone who hasn't met her, she's awesome. She's the person punching Rebecca on the street in NYC in the Theater of Science thread.
 
Should be able to make it...hmmmmmmmm...what we need is a club house centrally located for all our meetings. Something with a view. Perhaps a tree house.

New to the group, long term skeptic... Thanks to SkepticScott for pointing out this forum and this thread in particular!

I see the get together usually breaks around 10, but how many folks come later? That weekend is Arisia in Boston, a great sci-fi/fantasy/ literature convention that goes until 6:00ish.
 
Well... I am currently working 7 days a week in the lab trying to produce some data, but I can probably slip away later afternoon/evening. I'll do a few hours of work Saturday morning and then will try to escape from lab as soon as I'm able.

Thanks for hostinng, Paul!
 
I had hoped to make this but I am also supposed to be attending a "Poor Taste" party the same day (At 3:33PM- don't ask). It's not far as the crow flies but I'm no crow, and it's a [rule 8] of a drive. Let's see how I can do this. Hmmmm.....Poor Taste party to a (hopefully) Good Taste party.
 
I'm not going to be able to go... I have too much to do this weekend. I wish I lived a little closer to all the parties.
