Will We Be Able To Have A Proper Forum Party?

As we all know, over the past couple of years the Official Forum Party (aka the Skepchick/Forum Party at TAM 6) has been shut down at unfortunately early hours by hotel security.

On behalf of an organization that was considering sponsorship of a Forum Party at TAM 7, I made a discrete inquiry at South Point about whether they would have any more isolated suites that might be appropriate for a party, and was told flat out that they don't allow parties of any kind in their suites, and thus that any party worthy of note would be shut down immediately upon the first call to security. Sigh.

Considering South Point's isolation from other casinos, it seems unlikely that we can find a suite-like venue at a hotel that would be convenient for those of us staying at South Point.

I am beginning to think that the best and only option might be to unofficially take over one of the bars at the hotel on the evening of July 11 and make that the Forum Party.

Sigh (repeated).

**** the hotels! Take to the streets! I want to see cars overturned, cops on fire, dogs sleeping with kittens, goats being traumatized and sky marshals being perforated!

Show some balls, people!
 
Yeah, but that was before the economy crashed and a bunch of us went broke. I love the idea of a forum party, but I'm no longer willing to put significant cash donations towards renting a venue.

Luckily, not all of us went broke. At least not yet. There are still a few Forum folks out there, who might be able to donate a some money towards a venue. At least while we still can. Anyone with me?

I'll pass. You'll find me in the bar.

We know that. We always find you there. Then again, most of us were there anyway.

The whole situation does remind me of the introduction to "Pinky and the Brain".

"What are we going to do tonight, Brain?"

"Same thing we do every night Pinky; Try to take over the casino bar."
 
There will almost certainly be a Skepchick party, but the details are as yet undecided.
 
I agree with Scrut and Susan, just take over the bar. Bars are specifically designed to accommodate a ton of people, and a hotel suite isn't - as evidenced at TAM6.

See you all at the bar.
 
I think we should take over a specific bar at a specific time though. Of course, we should take over the nonspecific bars at nonspecific times as well.

As for renting a venue of some sorts.. sure I could throw in fifty bucks or so, but I'm not really convinced we can get enough money this way to get us a decent party-place.
 
So long as we can all recognise each other by our name tags, I don't see what the difference is between a party and a bar mob.

Silly TAM virgin. After the lectures/presentations/panels, not only do our credentials come off, but our clothes do too. You're going to need to be able to recognize fellow attendees by something other than their name tags.
