TAM 10 - Extracurricular Skepticism

[Sc00ter]

Interested in the Rio Penn & Teller show. I have no idea if Travis or Dale will be doing any sort of Granite State Skeptics thing. I will probably depend on them a great deal since this is my first TAM.

Oh great, I'll have freakin' Larian following me around like a little puppy dog..

I'd like to do P&T. not sure if it will happen or not. I just added a Mac King show to the list that I will be going to.

Well, if that's the way you feel, then I'll just follow Dale!

We get in late Wednesday so it's "Canadians Drinking Vodka Red Bull's" with you at the bar later!

Please notate changes. The list is long enough that it is no longer immediately obvious what changed from one iteration to the next.

Thanks!

It's easiest just to see who has reposted the table, and look up that name in the organizer column (by the way, you can click on the column headings to sort).

Wednesday's shaping up to be a pub crawl...

Are all invited, or just GLBT folks? Do interlopers have to identify themselves in some way?

You are welcome. If you are straight, just keep your sexuality to yourself. It makes some people uncomfortable when they think about what you do in bed.

"WE'RE HERE! WE'RE STRAIGHT! WHERE'S THE BAR?"

Not as effective a chant...

But it makes everyone uncomfortable when they think about what I do in bed.

You're probably not doing it right then. Still, as long as both (or all) parties are consenting and capable of expressing that consent in a legally accepted format, then it's okay. Unless you are furry...

 

[cwalner]

Is it all right If I join the Canadians eating Mexican Food even if I am not a Canadian. It is just that while not exemplary, the Mexican place at the South Pointe is much better than anything I have found here in Indianapolis and I am jonesing for at least decent Mexican.

Sure, but you need to be able to spell "Canada" the correct way....

"There's a "C", eh? Then an "N", eh? Then a "D", eh?"

There's a couple things I'm interested in doing in Vegas.

If there's interest, perhaps events could be made for them.



First on the list (and the deciding factor in making me go to Vegas):
Name: Titanic: The Artifact Exhibit
Location: Luxor
Website: http://www.luxor.com/entertainment/titanic.aspx
Cost: $32 (general)
Hours: 10h00 - 22h00


Second
Name: Exotics Racing
Location: Las Vegas Motor Speedway
Website: http://exoticsracing.com/
Cost: $199 + (depends on car chosen)
Hours: must pre-schedule



I was considering SkyCombatAce, but it's freaking expensive. I wouldn't be able to do anything else.

If you are going to Titanic, consider Bodies as well, which is right next to Titanic. You might be able to get discount ticket if you see both, check with Luxor or look around the web.

Bodies is probably the most unique exhibit I've seen in a long time.
