Don't forget playtime with Mr. Pinky!

 

[LadyMitris]

I vote for Peppermill Friday 7PM

 

[Hutch]

I just posted the Money for 16 lanes of bowling Thursday night, 9-11 PM, for the TAM7 Bowling Tournament (Working name: Getting into the Gutter for Skepticism).

I'll try to get a notice out on the TAM7 site, we need 64 bowlers for me to break even.

 

[LadyMitris]

You can count me in for the bowling and I'll also post this via twitter.

Working name: Getting into the Gutter for Skepticism.

Working motto: We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking for the bars.

All of the details haven't been settled yet, but it looks like there will be a joint Drinking Skeptically/Skeptics in the Pub Thursday evening at 9PM at the South Point (not sure of the location). Will have the details soon.

Drinking at TAM? What a novel idea.

Drinking at TAM? What a novel idea.

It's to make up for the dearth of gambling.

Please don't.

We really don't need minute by minute updates for an event that is 5 months away. The TAM7 twitter account is meant to be used at TAM, to keep everyone notified of various goings on.

 

[LadyMitris]

Ah, sorry. I didn't realize the rules for that twitter account.

How about Thursday afternoon? Hutch has already committed to the bowling for Thursday night, and unless I bust out first again*, it would be difficult to do both in one evening!




*Which is not going to happen this year!

At our Ottawa Skeptics meeting on Sunday, there was suggestion to visit the Pinball Hall of Fame:

I thought it would be a good combination with the usual Sunday Afternoon Gun Store trip.

Spawn will turn 18 on Friday, July 10, so Chefpeon and I are taking her to Chippendales in the hopes that they will let us take one home as a souvenir.

We're also planning on seeing Ka (Cirque du Soleil @ MGM Grand) Wednesday night. Thursday we'll go to the meet-n-greet party. Saturday's Talent show sounds like great fun and Sunday night will probably be P&T.

I do want to go to the gun shop this time, especially if I can shoot something. What's the deal with Peppermill's? Great food or drinks? Hot waitstaff? Obscene condiment dispensers?

ETA: From what I'm reading online, ST:TE will barely be functional by July and it looks like no rides until 2010. The real question is whether Quark's will be open by TAM...

It's hard to describe. Great food? No. It's OK food served in obscene proportions. Hot waitstaff? There's a few, but that's not the attraction.

I would describe it as something of a time machine, that will transport you back 40-50 years, into an era of unabashed Las Vegas gaudiness, in all its tacky glory.

ETA: For the record, it's The Peppermill, not Peppermill's.

 

[Horatius]

... especially if I can shoot something.

It's not a question of "If", it's only a question of "What"!

 

[Kochanski]

I want to do a games night but it looks like Friday is very booked with stuff, so any gamers up for Thursday night of games? I know I won't be bowling, so it being at the same time won't bother me. Anyone else?
