I'm new here...introduction and question about TAM3

[CFLarsen]

Don't toy with me. I'm far too fragile.

PJ's and chocolate need an explanation immediately.

Skepchicks have a pajama party at TAM. We also have a chocolate challenge, where people bring their favorite chocolate to a blind tasting.

Ah...the chocolate thing sounds so....not dirty...oh well.

The PJ thing might be of interest. My gf might be interested in something like that. Link or post please.

Don´t speak bad of the chocolate challenge - after all it was MY idea. (Can´t hurt to repeat it from time to time, so that the skepchicks remember whom they owe their gratitude )

As for the PJ party, AFAIK there are no links or posts about that. It´s one of those girls-only things.

Three? Really? You have?? Wow...

I still love you, Claus, even though you're a dunderhead most of the time...

I admit that there have only been TWO official TAMs so far. After January, there will have been THREE of them. So, there, a correction has been made in public.

The PJ party is on Thursday night at my room or Renata's room. We'll figure out the logistics later.

No matter what, you will know something is up when you see a number of women running around the hotel with their pajamas on.

And, NO men are allowed except for the Security Squad.

O........K.

You screw up, and I am the "dunderhead"? That should give non-TAM-attendees a taste of what TAM is all about...

I don't even want to know what a "dunderhead" is...

To be frank, this pretty much describes the 'hotels' that I usually frequent...

Damn. This is going to require a really excellent disguise. Do I get my own sitcom yet?

Who is the Security Squad?

Who is the Security Squad?

We usually don't know until the last minute who they are.

But, they can't join us until we wrap up the party.

I was part of the TAM II Secruity Squad, and since I'm a security guard, I would have been an obvious choice, I was not privvy to the location of the Pajama party. Apparently getting sick from the roast beef at the reception disqualifies oneself.

KingMerv. I am a TAM I and II attendee and have scads of advice about fitting in with your fellow JREFers, but it all comes down to one thing - post to the forum... a lot.

I am tremendously shy and flew under the radar of most people at TAM I because I didn't come up and introduce myself. I was able to avoid several forum members at TAM II until the third day by being a wall flower. Because I posted like crazy (until Spring '04) I was well known though and fit right in with my fellow JREF forum members. Sadly though, I never got to take Girl6 and Luciana for a ride in my rented convertible in Ft. Lauderdale. I'll regret that always.

I started a post your photo thread in the TAM subforum, and I'd recommend doing that so people will recognize you on sight as well as my original advice about posting a lot between now and TAM III.

I hope to see you there.

As a veteran of the TAM2 Security Squad, wouldn't we be chosen by the same criteria as last year? The wrap-up may be OK, but the "unwrap" phase of the party is always more fun.

It is the solemn duty of the first-arriving member of the PJ Party Security Squad to prevent the admittance of any other security personnel.

But Bad Astronomers are traditionally allowed.
