Awesome! Those conferences look like so much fun, and my old freshman adviser is going to be performing (I love how cheese-tastic his pictures look on his homepage).

I was thinking of shooting myself in the head and then going. Just to fuck with them. But now that Randi finally rescinded his million dollar offer for proof of the paranormal, I'm not sure it would be worth it. I was going to buy me an inscribed brick on the stairway to heaven with the proceeds. It would say "You're going the wrong way!!!"

You still have two more years, IRFH. That's plenty of time to develop a whole undead thing. Or an undead army. Yeah, that'll be a great way to crash TAM 8.

Are you paying for this yourself or are you being sent there by your employer? Because if it's the latter, your job does NOT suck and you can ignore dice.com.

Ah, if only I was being sent there and didn't have to pay myself. It's part of a three or four week trip, starting in NY and finishing in Las Vegas, so it's pretty much the grand super holiday I have been craving for the last 10 years or so. Expect to see a few "I'm in the U.S., what MUST I see before I head home?" posts from me in AxeMefi soon.
