Not safe for work (SkepchickCon video)

I just came across the following video, which brought back certain memories.....

The particular memory this brought back has to do with those stars you see all over the walls and ceiling at the beginning of the video. After the three day long party, a hand full of us cheerfully cleaned up the room, and one of my main jobs was plucking stars and planets and other celestial bodies out of the virtual sky and sticking them back onto the paper they were originally shipped on so they could be brought to Las Vegas and re-applied to the Skepchick's party room there.

I think that after TAM in Las Vegas the stars were not recovered for later use. Because you know, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. (Which is something, by the way, I'm rather skeptical about.)

Rerun time is over. Very early Monday morning, a plane touched down, a car drove along a dark and deserted freeway, and my wife and I found ourselves finally back at home. True, we did have a late night diversion to Denny's because we were starving, but by 2 AM or so we were back home. Time to go…
Illusions in Lavender was the most difficult story I ever tried to write. I must have set it down a dozen times, driven by the same reluctance I feel writing this post, now.

I'm going tonight to hang out with an old and dear friend, Don Reese. He's performing this week in Grand Rapids and we always get together when he's anywhere near here. Being on the road sucks and it's always good to have a buddy around to spend the day with, share a meal with, and just talk to.…
I've been off at the big meeting, and it's been a long and tiring weekend in Las Vegas. It's been strange, too: we're surrounded by slot machines and show girls, and our crowd hardly notices them; I took a moment to step outside, and I had to tell my wife, "the sunshine…it hurts…" and we went back…

Poor woman. Did you see how that misogynist male stripper totally objectified and demeaned her? He probably just met her!

Guys, don't do that.

There needs to be an after-party sexual harassment policy put in place, and the organizer of this one needs to be sacked. The atheist culture at these after-parties turns out to be pretty damned sexist.
