Gay at TAM 9

[xinit]

Nothing official yet, JennaMarie - I put together a list of other things going on and rough times where I knew them at http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=210931 - in case that helps pick a time.

Has anyone set an official event for an LGBTQ meetup yet?

If not, does anyone have suggestions for good times / places?

I think the upstairs bar seems like a good idea.

Anywhere Toby is will be the event location.

How about a flash mob at Penn's party? Add to the crazy that will be going on...

I like it. When do we get together to learn the choreography?

Unless you're talking about a dancing flash mob, I doubt anyone would really notice in the middle of the craziness.

If there's an 80's theme anyway... I say everyone study the 'Love is a Battlefield' and 'Thriller' music videos before arriving at TAM.

I'll second the Upstairs Bar, if there are no objections. Does it have a name?
I was thinking that Friday at 9-11:30pm following the key note would be a good time.
It can start any time earlier if anyone is skipping that.

Not that I know of. You just walk up some steps and it's at the top. I got the impression last year it's mostly a place for people to wait for tables at the restaraunts.

Cool,

I just noticed this thread. I will try to meet you all Friday night.

For the record, the fact that I posted in this thread, doesn't make me gay.

So I won't be there.

If by 'flash', you mean 'run naked through', I'm not sure you'd even be noticed. We have some pretty high expectations of what Penn is up to.

not that there's anything wrong with that.

That sounds like an excellent time according to the latest schedule of unofficial things what are happening. Call it then, setup a facebook event, etc and go for it.

Of course.

Here's a facebook event page. Check in if you think you'll make it.

Not gay but I say GO FOR IT!!!
so needed and be sure to invite Randi and DJ!

Just don't use the word "gay". Randi hates that word (preferring "homosexual").

As long as "breeders" are allowed, I say "go for it!"

Hah!! Proof that not all skeptics or JREF forum members blindly follow Randi. I disagree with him on this point. I find homosexual too clinical and prefer the term gay. Not that I think that this is a huge issue for either of us (it definitely is not for me)

I used to use "boy kisser", but after 35 it started to seem creepy.

And yes, supportive straight people are always welcome.

Well, if it still accurate, you may want to look up these guys.

Yeah, I highly doubt anyone would notice that either... I really don't think this flash mob idea will work.
