In his MDC thread The Professor professed -

TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT!

There will be EVP's and ITC in record breaking numbers tonight ... Mark my words!

I'm surprised that TP hasn't yet posted to inform us of his success at whatever it is he was planning to do. My google-fu is weak, anyone have any info on what happened?
 
So far only comment from Jim saying it has been delayed till at least friday.
 
Well, what does that say about his insistence on Halloween?
:)

Delayed by at least a week? Sounds like a pretty serious hardware failure the spirits are being very uncooperative.

Being a-feared of the MA and Darat's ban-hammer I'm afraid I cannot answer that.
 
My google fu is nothing to write home about but I searched this morning and nothing. I was really looking forward to the weekend, expecting SOMETHING. It isn't like he's been shy about vociferating.

I also searched the headlines of all the big dailies and watched CNN. Nothing. Maybe I should have watched Fox. Well, I did watch the Simpson's on Fox but they didn't mention him. I would have thought something as earth shattering as that would have warranted at least a passing mention.


ETA: A link to Jim's comment?

Actually from the magic cafe it sounds like the people on the JREF forum are the reason that halloween has been pushed back to friday. I'd say thats a cool power how much is a million split between everyone here.

The Force is strong with us. But we don't need the million because that would be 'dirty'. We will charge people to use our powers for them tough.

Ok you guys may or may not know what went on that caused the delay.

Not going to comment on it now as per my councils rather strong suggestion that I cannot and should not.

That is all I will say except that it looks like the situation/misunderstanding will be cleared up by Friday.

As to the delay being caused by JREF forum members I can't find anywhere that is explicitly stated, though it is sort of implied. Maybe. It must be an awsome, fast-acting power however we did it as TP was all set to go at 31st October 2008, 03:04 PM GMT (time-stamp of the post I linked to in the OP) and everything had gone belly-up just hours later.
 
Yes just implied in that thread we have from Jim

I find it amazing that some of you cats will go to such lengths.
Truly childish behavior in my opinion.

At least Karma is on my side yet again.
...

and from David

The Closed Minded Skeptics here seem to take an active roll in preventing people from taking the MDC.

Just ask the Lake Helen Police Department. Their attempts at Sabotage seem to be broadening.

They have linked to magic secrets and hassled radio DJ's and show hosts, among many other Non-ethical behaviors, and now this!

Pretty low down and probably illegal!

....

But I guess they have cleared up the problem technical or otherwise and we will hopefully see the performance up on friday, no word yet on live or pre-recorded.

I seem to have helped cause the thread there to spiral down to name calling don't think it will be around much longer.

I don't see any name calling, other than from Jim and/or The Professor, and that was from another forum. We seem to be just wondering what happened. Cemetaries are privately owned so I'm not sure what the police have to do with it if permission is obtained from the cemetary owner. It's private property. TP did obtain permission first, didn't he? You know, since there was some issue of it being open to the public after 7:00 pm? And he insisted on it taking place at midnight? On Halloween?

I'm just flabbergasted that they are blaming JREF members.
 
The Professor, since you would simply be reporting on the events of Oct 31st 2008 and these don't have anything to do with the proposal of a protocol, be sure to post in THIS thread.

Any comments submitted to the MDC forum will likely not be approved. I am looking forward to hearing a report that you wrote yourself and not by some other party.
 
Jim got busted by the cops apparently before he was due to go "on air".Something to so with an old woman dying on halloween on the internet I think(go figure).

So rumours(no doubt started by TP)are JREF members called the cops.

Hmm, the same Jim Callahan that generated several YouTube videos accusing James Randi of commiting a federal crime got arrested. I am shocked, I tell you, comepletely shocked!!!:rolleyes:
 
I don't have a link,no.I have not been told he was arrested so let's not jump to conclusions.
There were complaints to Police ,they showed up 30 mins before air time and shut down teh show.I assume he would have been questioned.
