All I can say is… WOW!!! I’m still coming down from the high of the first ever Skepchicamp, and there is so much that went on that it will take quite some time to assimilate it all. In fact, Skepchicamp kicked soooooo much ass that not even Chuck Norris will be able to sit down for a month :)...

Since others are talking about pre-TAM events, I figured that I'd post an idea as well. How about a pre-TAM event in the Chicago area? Anyone interested?

Wow! Check it out folks! Of course, this is mostly relevant to the JREFers who live in or near Chicago... http://www.centerforinquiry.net/chicago/ This is huge news! Now that there is a CFI/Chicago branch, we'll be able to network in the Midwest that much more effectively. They have a big...
