...Dang!

Post by Datana »

Here I am in Corvallis, OR for DaVinci Days, and I didn't even know that James Randi was giving a presentation here until a full day after the fact! This was really lousy timing on my part. Anyone else from this board in the area?

Whoops. It seemed appropriate, though, given that James Randi has been talked about on this particular board before.

He appears to be an anti-pseudoscience guy.

But we are not talking about Randi, the question does anyone live in Datana's area.


The answer is no.

The answer is yes. I live about 15 miles away (assuming he lives in Corvallis, which seems likely since he is talking about an event in Corvallis).
