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.)

I'm in Florida at this teacher workshop, so bloggery will be limited. I had a good talk with the assembled teachers about the history of creationism and education.
After four uneventful flights and a crazy night in Vegas (no, not crazy in that way), I have finally arrived in San Diego. Checked in a hotel that is far away from the convention center. Exhausted.

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.
