00:00 - 00:03 | We will leave the TAM 2012 reception at 7:00 p.m. sharp |
00:04 - 00:05 | and head to the Paris Casino to see the Jersey Boys |
00:05 - 00:07 | Then head straight back to the South Point |
00:08 - 00:12 | We should get back around 10:30 p.m. |
00:12 - 00:15 | We can then hang out in the Del Mar or go to bed. |
00:17 - 00:19 | Let's wake up early to get good seats |
00:19 - 00:21 | For Phil Plait's keynote |
00:24 - 00:26 | Sir... |
00:27 - 00:28 | Phil Plait . . . |
00:31 - 00:33 | The JREF invited Phil, but he declined |
00:34 - 00:36 | Phil Plait is not coming to TAM this year. |
00:53 - 00:58 | Everyone who did not pre-order Phil Plait's Bad Universe DVD on Amazon please leave the room now. |
01:13 - 01:15 | Not coming to TAM? |
01:15 - 01:17 | What the hell is Phil Plait doing that he is so busy? |
01:18 - 01:23 | Who is going to be the keynote speaker then? |
01:25 - 01:28 | Richard Dawkins . . . again? |
01:29 - 01:31 | Or Neil Degrasse Tyson . . . again? |
01:31 - 01:34 | Maybe wheel out the corpse of Christopher Hitchens. |
01:34 - 01:37 | At least that would provide some intellectual weight! |
01:37 - 01:40 | They might as well give the keynote to Dr. Buzz0! |
01:40 - 01:42 | Sir, we will have Pamela Gay to talk about astronomy! |
01:42 - 01:46 | You might as well try to entice me with two days worth of Shermer's fucking slides! |
01:46 - 01:48 | Sir, DJ has organized a diverse group of Skeptics. Sarah Mayhew and Penn and Teller will be there.. |
01:48 - 01:52 | Penn and Fucking Teller? |
01:53 - 01:54 | Are you fucking serious? |
01:56 - 01:57 | They will just call it in, as usual |
01:57 - 02:00 | Answering questions from the audiance with nothing prepared. |
02:00 - 02:03 | And Sarah Mayhew? |
02:04 - 02:08 | They invited her back after that disaster last year? |
02:08 - 02:13 | What the fuck does she have to say about anything? |
02:14 - 02:16 | Maybe she can do a TED talk, but skepticism? |
02:17 - 02:21 | She's got nothing to fucking say about skepticism! |
02:27 - 02:29 | Was DJ drunk when he set the linuep? |
02:30 - 02:34 | Lawrence Kraus? At least he can provide entertainment as a whipping boy! |
02:34 - 02:36 | And the SGU dinner? |
02:41 - 02:42 | The SGU FUCKING dinner? |
02:43 - 02:47 | I've had more intelligent conversations waiting in line . . . |
02:48 - 02:53 | at the buffet at Circus Circus talking to 6 year olds! |
02:54 - 02:56 | Maybe Bob Novella can freeze his head |
02:56 - 02:59 | And come back when they have a decent lineup! |
03:00 - 03:02 | Oh yeah, they have Sean Faircloth! |
03:04 - 03:07 | At least we don't have to suffer through a diversity panel with PZ Myers. |
03:14 - 03:16 | Talk about a one trick pony! |
03:19 - 03:23 | Every time he talks, he says the same fucking thing! |
03:25 - 03:26 | At least we have Stoltznow . . . |
03:31 - 03:33 | And Richard Saunders. |
03:40 - 03:46 | Their Australian accents at least add a little class to the occasion. |
03:46 - 03:49 | At least we have Adam Savage. He's my favorite. |
03:53 - 03:56 | He will keep going to TAM until the day he dies. |
