TAM 9 Penn and Teller @Rio

Sunday would be better, knowing me though, I'll end up finding some way to cram more than one P&T show into my schedule.

This is how I know I'm among "my people": the affection for charts and spreadsheets.
 
According to Facebook Drinking Skeptically is Thursday night. I am leaning toward seeing P&T on Wednesday since by Sunday night I will be absolutely tired.

I love spreadsheets, and Penn & Teller... this may be my favorite thread just based on those two elements.

Checking the DS Facebook group, Wednesday night sounds alright too.

:D


I thought Skeptics in the Pub and Drinking Skeptically were going to be held together (I still don't get what the difference is, but probably that's just me). Looks like they're on different nights now. The official TAM program now just lists SitP on Wednesday. Is Drinking Skeptically now going up against the "Rebecca Watson Game Show & Variety Hour"? ETA: Just saw the FB page. Guess they are!

I've never been to P&T, but I dimly remember from last year's discussion that TAMmers were offered a special discount for the show. Can anybody confirm / deny this? Would be interesting to know before we make a booking.

Yes, they arranged tickets through the JREF. This was done through the official registration page, so if it isn't there this year, I don't think they'll be doing it this way. At this point, it would be pretty short notice to offer it as well.

Just got tickets for Sunday. Last time I saw a Penn & Teller show was in Boston, ten years ago...
 
Wow. I made a heart-crushing mistake. I was wondering why no one here was buying tickets for Saturday. I bought a ticket to the Saturday show about a month ago before the schedule was announced. I didn't know TAM went so late into the evening.

Does Penn and Teller start at 9pm SHARP? I don't want to miss Richard Dawkins on Saturday :(

How long does it take to cab to the RIO from South Point? Will they let me arrive late? I really messed up.

Yes, 9:00 sharp. 20 minutes. 30 by the time you walk all the way to the back of the casino where the P&T theater is. 45 if there is a line at the cab stand, which there almost certainly will be at 9:00 on a Sat night.
 
I called the Rio and thankfully they took pity on me and allowed me to switch my ticket to the following night! I can't describe what a relief that was!

Feel free to add me to the list for Sunday night :)
 
Good to hear, craigirving! :)

Just out of curiosity, for the Sunday show... is anyone planning on getting there early for the pre-show event that includes amazing entertainment such as looking at a box and signing an envelope? I think that starts around 8.

And listening to The Mike Jones Duo. :)

THERE'S A BOX TO LOOK AT?!

Why didn't anyone tell me?

I think I might have to go Sunday now.

Anyone else up for going early enough to grab dinner at a non-South Point restaurant? Anything at The Rio worth trying?
 
Penn & Teller Tuesday night

I'll be at Penn & Teller Tuesday night. Please let me know if anyone would like to split a cab/car pool from the South Point to the Rio (PM/email me). Last year, Bryan Stewart and I went to the show the night before TAM and we got to enjoy ice cream and pie wih Penn, his wife Emily Zolton, Randi, DJ and a lot of other people after the show. It was a ton of fun!
