Meetup in Phoenix

By jlynch on January 2, 2007.

As PZ announced earlier today (as did GrrlScientist), we've firmed up our meetup plans for the SICB conference.

Friday 6th around 6pm, we'll be meeting at Seamus McCaffreys fairly close to the conference hotel. Contrary to PZ's suggestion, I wont be forcing anyone to drink Guinness (the drink is only barely drinkable here in the US) and therefore wont be buying the beer :) PZ's got tenure ... he's probably got more cash than me anyways! We should be easy to spot at the bar - GrrlScientist looks like a lori, I'll have a posse (some luck!),
and PZ will be dressed as his Satanic Majesty (no, not Dawkins), horns and all.

Saturday 7th between 5:30 and 8:00 is the meetup at Jim Lippards house. See here for details and RSVP to Jim. .

Like PZ, I hope to offer some blogging along the way.

Again, in a dark room, my camera used long exposures and thus many pictures are fuzzy. But you can see that we had lots and lots of readers come to see us, together with the NYC Skeptics:

To protect the anonymous, nobody in the pictures is named, tagged or linked in any way. So, you don't know who is a blogger, who is Seed staffer, who is a reader, except for the few obviously well knows faces:

Wha...? You're not buying? This just isn't right. You're Irish, this is an Irish bar, I think there have to be rules and order to this.

When I visited Ireland, I was just shy of legal drinking age so I've never had a properly poured Guinness. As a result, I've admittedly developed a very indiscriminate palate for the stuff. It doesn't matter to me whether it's in a pint glass or one of those widget-equipped bottles or cans. Hopefully, this predilection won't preclude my posse participation Friday night.
