Since this was your idea, what is the best date and time for you? -------------- Come on Tough Guy, do the little dance of ID impotence you do so well. - Louis to Joe G 2/10 Gullibility is not a virtue - Quidam on Dembski's belief in the Bible Code Faith Healers & ID 7/08 UD is an Unnatural Douchemagnet. - richardthughes 7/11

Tara Posts: 3 Joined: June 2007 (Permalink) Posted: July 30 2007,21:10    Hey all, I'm not going to be able to make it.  :(  They changed the date of the science caucus from Thursday to Friday, so I'm already going to be spending 2 days in Chicago.  A friend of mine from high school is also finally graduating from college and is throwing a shindig in Ohio on the 4th, and I promised him almost 13 years ago that I'd be there to party at his graduation, so I need to get back for that.  I'm bummed...

J-Dog Posts: 4402 Joined: Dec. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: July 30 2007,21:45    Boo - Sorry to see you miss it Tara.   So to everyone else:  Saturday Afternoon it is?  I think we need to even pin it down more, because, you have to buy time-stamped tickets - at least that's what happened when I saw the Pompeii exhibit last year... I will try and do some more digging tomrrow morning and post to confirm this.  If anybody has any preferences or comments about times on Sat afternoon, please post ASAP! This could be a lot of fun, I am looking forward to it, and especially Richard's English Pub.  Actually, I've already seen an old guy in a beard, so maybe just go to the Pub? Nah.  Kidding. -------------- Come on Tough Guy, do the little dance of ID impotence you do so well. - Louis to Joe G 2/10 Gullibility is not a virtue - Quidam on Dembski's belief in the Bible Code Faith Healers & ID 7/08 UD is an Unnatural Douchemagnet. - richardthughes 7/11

J-Dog Posts: 4402 Joined: Dec. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: July 31 2007,09:53    Ok - I will send mine via PM also to you and Richard.  It looks like Saturday afternoon is best, so now we have to agree on a time. This link is to Tickets for Museum and Darwin admission: http://purchase.tickets.com/buy/TicketPurchase The fine print says there is a $1.50 surcharge for ordering online and picking up at the Will-Call booth. Entry times are on the Hour and 1/2 hour, so if we can pin this down, we can all see the exhibit at the same time, more or less.  The Pompeii experience was not good - it was too crowded, so I hope the Flintstone Museum siphons off most of the crowd on Saturday, and we can dance and play in a cavernous hall. -------------- Come on Tough Guy, do the little dance of ID impotence you do so well. - Louis to Joe G 2/10 Gullibility is not a virtue - Quidam on Dembski's belief in the Bible Code Faith Healers & ID 7/08 UD is an Unnatural Douchemagnet. - richardthughes 7/11

J-Dog Posts: 4402 Joined: Dec. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: July 31 2007,13:21    Kristine has spoken and the word is 2:00. Be there, or be square. Please send all complaints to DaveScot Springer c/o UD. Your complaint will be given the full attention it deserves. -------------- Come on Tough Guy, do the little dance of ID impotence you do so well. - Louis to Joe G 2/10 Gullibility is not a virtue - Quidam on Dembski's belief in the Bible Code Faith Healers & ID 7/08 UD is an Unnatural Douchemagnet. - richardthughes 7/11

Kristine Posts: 3061 Joined: Sep. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: July 31 2007,17:15    I just purchased my tix (tick?). But I'm thinking that we should meet at 1:30 or so, since 2:00 means actually walking into the exhibition at 2:00, and not yakking? (We did that to our patrons with the Egyptian exhibit. Hup-two-three-four, get 'em in and out the door...) Or we could meet for lunch and tie one on before we even go in (I'm kidding). -------------- Which came first: the shimmy, or the hip?

J-Dog Posts: 4402 Joined: Dec. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: July 31 2007,20:37    Yes, 1:30 meet time is good - By Main entrance?  I'll be wearing a flower in my hair.  No.  That's not right, I'll be wearing a Yankees baseball cap instead.  And we have the cell phone numbers so that will help. We might even be earlier, and see some of the other stuff - I could walk around there all day and night, if they'd let me. -------------- Come on Tough Guy, do the little dance of ID impotence you do so well. - Louis to Joe G 2/10 Gullibility is not a virtue - Quidam on Dembski's belief in the Bible Code Faith Healers & ID 7/08 UD is an Unnatural Douchemagnet. - richardthughes 7/11

Nomad Posts: 311 Joined: July 2007 (Permalink) Posted: Aug. 01 2007,00:32    Would a humble lurker who just happens to be Chicago adjacent be allowed to join in on this event? I swear I'm not an undercover fundie.. and if I was I sure as hell wouldn't ask to go to the Darwin exhibit with you lot.. that'd be like going into the lion's den accompanied by the lions.. Anyway I've been looking for an excuse to hit one of the Chicago museums, and this would make a pretty decent excuse.  I can offer to contribute photography of the event, recording the moment forever so it can be savored by posterity.  Or just splashed casually about the forums, as you wish.

Nomad - Absolutely come - The more the merrier.   BTW - I don't worry about undercover fundies - my wife is one -and she'll be there.  However, unlike FTK and others, she doesn't bother me, and I don't bother her about it, so everything works out just fine.   If you are a photog - double-good - I understand Professor Steve-Steve The Panda might be in attendance, and he is quite the attention whore.  Just make sure you get his good side, or his publicist will go all Mike Vick on you.

I doubt I'll join you at the museum, but if anyone wanted to meet for lunch before that, I'd be up for it. Email me (stcynic@gmail.com) if anyone is interested - and do it tonight, since I'm leaving in the morning.

J-Dog Posts: 4402 Joined: Dec. 2006 (Permalink) Posted: Aug. 01 2007,14:45    Thanks for the interest Ed, we'd love to see you at the Museum.  Might take you up on the lunch meet, (or lunch meat :)) and have emailed another party regarding their interest.  Per your instructions, I'll send you an email, if we can swing it. ps: Welcome aboard ATBC - Come for the knowledge, stay for the fun! -------------- Come on Tough Guy, do the little dance of ID impotence you do so well. - Louis to Joe G 2/10 Gullibility is not a virtue - Quidam on Dembski's belief in the Bible Code Faith Healers & ID 7/08 UD is an Unnatural Douchemagnet. - richardthughes 7/11
