No God Band at a country club... this aught to be interesting. :)

Yes, I saw that, could be interesting. http://lanyrd.com/2012/tam2012/swkmz/

How easy is that to get to from the South Point?

From the latest email:

NEW! — TAM Late Night: Teller Talks!

We are thrilled to announce an exciting addition to the TAM program: an exclusive Thursday night screening of Play Dead. This "wild, wicked" (New York Times) Off-Broadway hit, written by Teller and Todd Robbins, starring Robbins and directed by Teller is now a "mind-blowing" (New York Magazine) performance film. Watch a sophisticated New York audience turned into giggling, screaming adolescents by a magical adult spook show written by and for skeptics. The Wall Street Journal called it "funny, furious, and wholly enthralling!" and the New York Post says it is "fiendishly frightening!" The film will be followed by a brief Q&A with Teller himself.

The show starts at 11pm, so it should be down to 70s-80s. Finding people to walk with would probably be a more important concern.

Based on my last two times at TAM, it might get down to 95-100 degrees at 11pm.

My wife is probably going to make me go see cirque du soleil... (just kidding, I'm sure it will be great). Is anyone else thinking of going?

Also, we've never been to Vegas and will probably be visiting the Grand Canyon on Monday morning...

which one? I've seen O and KA. Loved KA sooo much - the CD is in my car player constantly. O is an impressive show but it has a dreamlike quality that had me nodding off. (prolly cuz I was exhausted?) KA has a story and much better score.

Penn talked about this and his Friday night party on yesterday's Penn's Sunday School podcast.

If I heard correctly, he also mentioned that he'd be doing the podcast from TAM on Sunday, but I don't see this listed in the schedule. It would be fun to attend live if it does take place, though (though if he keeps his noon-1:30 PDT schedule, it will conflict with some of the talks).

Too late to edit so can't do an ETA, but I just listened again to that portion of the podcast (the very end) and Penn did say that they would be doing live "Sunday School" from TAM.
