Will We Be Able To Have A Proper Forum Party?

[Kochanski]

It really is too bad Quark's is not around anymore, they have a great party room and we could have had the forum party there.

 

[Wowbagger]

Good idea, Wowbag. I'm in for breaking the epic 2388.66 record - who's with me?

I'm in, but can we find somewhere as geeky awesome as last time? Any suggestions?

See, that idea of mine was kinda meant to be a joke, 'cause everything in The Wynn is so dang expensive and overpriced.

There will not be any place geekier than Quark's for some time, in Las Vegas. But, we could try some of the wackier themed bars.

 

[TsarBomba]

There's no where as geeky as that.


But there was that place with the metre-tall beer tenders.....

Or this place:

Located in the center of Mandalay Bay’s casino floor, eyecandy sound
lounge & bar features unrivaled technology that will redefine the
Las Vegas nightlife experience. Featuring high-tech twists on the
classic cocktail lounge, eyecandy combines interactive touch tables,
revolutionary sound stations and a dance floor with an ever-changing
landscape.

Featuring interactive touch tables exclusively for eyecandy sound lounge, this groundbreaking technology allows guests to be in control of their nightlife experience all from the comfort of their booth. Using interactive, multi-touch tables, guests can create visuals and messaging as well as project images onto screens above the dance floor. This high-tech table technology allows guests to create and control the visual and audio environment, becoming part of the sensory experience, where each night has a unique vibe.

A contemporary twist on the typical Las Vegas lounge, the eyecandy bar features an inviting atmosphere, chic design and plush seating. For the first time in Las Vegas, a fiber-optic channel runs through the bar top combining lighting and movement to form a shimmering effect. With cocktails created by world-renowned Master Mixologist Tony Abou-Ganim, this setting offers the perfect getaway, just steps from the casino floor.

The Best of Deftal DJs and VJs spin seven nights a week.

How cool would it be to post images of Randi, Phil Plait, Carl Sagan, and so forth with a bunch of TAMers in the room!

How about we just stay in the lecture room and smuggle in a bunch of beer. It could work...

You Googled "Las Vegas Geek Bar", didn't you?



Because I found the same place...just didn't post it...

I... I think I'm dripping.

I mean, drooling.

What-the-****-ever. This.

Sounds like a good contender to me! Do they serve food?

Absolutely.

In the numerous reviews I can find, I see no note of food, which makes be believe that there is no food of note.

Silly TAM virgin. After the lectures/presentations/panels, not only do our credentials come off, but our clothes do too. You're going to need to be able to recognize fellow attendees by something other than their name tags.

Right, well I should have no problem there. I've got a good memory for penises.

ETA: I just had an idea that would make the TAM7 bar scene totally unique

Oh?

 

[ottle]

Bar night may be the best bet. I'm sure we'll find a good place to take over.

Oh, also, while Rebecca & the Skepchick gang were happy to host the JREF forum party in previous years, this year we will be unable to do so in order to focus more on an official Skepchick event that will occur Saturday night at 9pm. Hopefully this won't conflict with anything the other forumites are planning, since JREF forum members will be more than welcome to come enjoy themselves at our bash!

Stay tuned for details

Great that means no one is going to want to play games on Friday

In previous years, the "forum party" always wound up being called "the Skepchick party."

So I'm glad to hear the Skepchick party will be replaced by a Skepchick party.

That's my take on it too, although I'm fairly unlikely to be there. But I will Skype the damn party if I have to!

Goddammit, I knew TAM London was a bad idea.

You've got it backwards. Everyone knows you have to come to Vegas first, then the money fairy buries you in cash. Haven't you seen the billboards?

It will conflict with the talent show/party:

Make sure it runs late so that we can go to the talent show and then the Skepchick event.

So much to do ...
