Bland Non-points from The Amazing Meeting

One thing I was very happy for was that there was very little talk of Elevatorgate. Everyone I met was friendly and no dramas were heavily recalled. There were a few jokes here and there, in addition to some unnecessary beating around the bush. Luckily, it was minimal. I did not take many photos this time, but I did tweet a bit. Jesus and Moses were there; you can see them listening to PZ Myers speak. He’s up there somewhere. I promise. ;) I don’t really have much to say except I...

No God Band (Penn Jillette’s band) perform Lennon’s “Imagine” at TAM9

But stop whining, will you. Think of the suffering your poor American sisters have to put up with. Only this...

Elevatorgate Poll: Looking the Best

You may recall the previous poll: Whose reputation do you think will be tarnished the most by these incidents? Just because one person may be in the wrong doesn’t mean another isn’t also. It’s not just one story with many sides but many stories with many avenues. With many sides. So who do you think comes out of all this looking the best? EDIT: I’ve come to the realization that I spelled stclairose’s handle wrong. Sorry! This poll happens to be in flash and I...
