I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I have a couple of question regarding the registration.

Is the student discount only available for US students? And exactly what is included in the price? Are hotel rooms included?

I can't see that the student discount is only US, the JREF is an international organization.

Registration includes just that - the right to attend all the sessions, and includes breakfast and lunch on Friday and Saturday, if I recall correctly.

The hotel is the South Point Casino. There are some other threads about sales they have going on, a link, and a place to post if you are trying to find someone to share a room and split the cost

Looks like P&T won't perform from 7th to 21st. Annoying, we booked our flights so we could catch the show on Sunday.

Oh well, I heard that there are other things you can do in that city in the evening...

Penn and Teller aren't playing any shows during TAM. If you've already paid for your ticket, the JREF will be sending you a refund.

There's a "Contact Us" link on The Amaz!ng Meeting 8 page that gives these email addresses:
* General TAM Questions: jref@randi.org
* TAM Registration Questions: jeff@randi.org

>Is the student discount only available for US students?
I think it's open to any student anywhere, as long as you have a student ID.

>And exactly what is included in the price?
I think this is an inclusive list:
* The reception Thursday night (but not the workshops or Thomsoni show)
* Breakfast and lunch Friday; the sessions Friday (but not the Zimmerman or HAM II shows, nor the VIP lunch)
* Breakfast and lunch Saturday; the sessions Saturday (but not the Weber show, nor the VIP lunch)
* Breakfast Sunday; the sessions Sunday (but not the workshops)

>Are hotel rooms included?
No, but as others have posted, South Point often has sales, and there's a thread here on room sharing too.

I think we'll have to start a P&T alternate plan for Sunday. Not that hanging out in the bar with dozens of skeptics is a bad way to spend a Sunday evening.

Flight and hotel booked. For some mysterious reason PayPal doesn't work for registration, upon hitting the "Pay Now" button I get an error message, forget what it is, something along the lines of "can't verify account...".

Anyway, I guess I'm already in.

But here is the critical question: Should we sort digits before or after letters? Where does 20vturbo really belong?

Now that IS the real question. I opted for the bottom but am open to new information

ASCII says before, EBCDIC says after (assuming an ascending sort order).

Since we're dealing with ASCII here, I say before.
