I'll be there!
But, I thought Rebecca was, too. Did she change her mind? (And, if so, was it because of me? )

I live about 40-50 minutes away, depending on various things. So, I won't be in a hotel.

I would, if I smoked cigars. But, I don't.
Instead, I am going to this: http://www.necsscon.org/ The Northeast Conference on Science and Skepticism. |

I'll be there for sure. & I've been trying to get some skeptics to join me for the craft beer festival that week. I can't post URs due to my n00b forum status but you can see details at nycbeerweek dot com slash events slash cask. What do you all think? I've always loved these events.

Currently we're planning on going to this, and the Vintage Computer Fair the following day.
-- Need to work out the plans though. |

Cool, Scrut's in town!
If you want to hang Thursday night I'd be down. Shoot me a PM and we could exchange info. Don't know if I could make it Friday to Drinking Skeptically but I'll be at the conference, Saturday. |

OK I'm catching the supercool wifi enabled Megabus down to avoid parking & tolls. Arriving @ 1:15PM @ 7th Ave & 28th St. Who wants to catch a drink that afternoon before Drinking Skeptically & the craft beer fest? & any suggestions on where I should spend the night?

I'm planning to drive from north of Boston, MA, to Greenwich, CT, and taking the 08:12 train in to Grand Central Station. It's less than a mile walk to the conference site. I'll take the 20:40 or 21:40 train back. Is anyone else going that way?

We have the hotel arranged finally, and will be driving down Friday for some bumming around the city and Skeptics in the Pub. We're leaving Sunday morning for the next conference, the Vintage Computer Festival at the InfoAge Science Center in Wall, New Jersey.
11 foreign countries, but I've never been to anything besides JFK in NYC. Should be fun! |

I'm taking the LIRR arriving at Penn Station around 9:00. I don't have a ticket yet - it's not sold out is it? I'm a cheapskate and don't want to finance Ticketmaster with their Convenience Charges.

Wowbagger, were you a volunteer at the event? I remember I saw you in a Mark Roberts youtube video where you played a Twoofer.

Well, bought a ticket and it went to waste as I had to go to work to complete a project.
But at least I got to have dinner with The Central Scrutinizer on Thursday. Aside from being a super-cool guy my wife thought he was quite charming. Yep, Scrut...charming! Who knew?! Great to meet you, Scrut. We had a lot of fun hanging with you! |

Sorry I didn't see you at the conference.
I too had a great time Thursday night! I look forward to getting together before NECSS II (don't know the dates, but they sounded pretty confident that there would be one). And for the record, Joy is smokin' hot. But I'm sure you hear that a lot. |
