Boo, we knew you were coming. It's not like there isn't a large group of people willing to kidnap you and drag you kicking and screaming if necessary, if it was announced that you weren't.
But, I am very glad you agree that you are coming.

I do have a large duffle bag around here somewhere...Boo, we knew you were coming. It's not like there isn't a large group of people willing to kidnap you and drag you kicking and screaming if necessary, if it was announced that you weren't.

I'll be there (you probably don't care unless you're an avid Skeptoid.com listener)
My wife - COVER OF THE 2007 SKEPCHICKS CALENDAR - will also be there! (NOW I've got your attention.)
I figure she'll be my ticket into all the big events.

I can't think in any time in recent history when the statement, "Why, no, now that I think of it, I'm not completely useless...", has been met with a proposal of marriage.

You might be somewhat bored to see us again, MLynn, but Rebecca (not her, my Rebecca!) and I are all signed up!
See you there, if not before.

Seriously? Women still do that?
In many ways, I am useless. Not very mechanical at all, but I can change a tire and use jumper cables.

Forum and TAM newbie
Hi folks,
A role call, eh? Well, count me in.
My name is Lee Graham. I'm a grad student studying evolutionary computing at Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario. This is my first visit to the JREF forums. I visit randi.org all the time but usually for the swift articles and archives (not that forums aren't great, but I often avoid them because of how addicting and time-consuming they can become).
I'll be attending in January and this will be my first TAM. I'm very excited to be attending such a unique and cool event, but also quite nervous since this isn't merely my first TAM - I'm also presenting during the Sunday session. Any tips or advice for Sunday session presenters or attendees in general?
Cheers and thanks,
-Lee Graham

Hi Lee, welcome to the boards.
Wow, congratulations!
Don't drink too much the night before?
The Sunday presentations are around 20-30 min. Last year there were two venues for the presentations, both will have big screens for your powerpoint, and you'll have a microphone for sound (since you can expect an audience of 100-200+). Just relax and present, we don't bite or throw food -- honest!
Hopefully RSLancaster will read this thread and offer some tips, he did a Sunday presentation at the last TAM that went really well.
