Hale's is open as of Tuesday and things can only get better so the meetup is still on. Don't come unless you can get there safely.

Woooooo!

Yes, I'm late and again I apologize - life gets in the way. Next week's meetup will be moderated by Kelly and he has chosen a favorite form of woo, Astrology.

Please to watch this video


I'm quite sure it will make your head explode! Then off to Phil Plait's site for a little lesson in bad astronomy and off to the Skeptic's Dictionary for a description of the Forer Effect.

What's going on with this astrologer? How was he so accurate? What did you notice about the video that may have provided a clue? All this and more on Wednesday night at Hales - see you then!

Meeting #? recap and new meetup info...

I've lost count but the homeopathic overdose was awesome. Andrew and Wes suffered no ill-effects, I had a hangover but I think it was due to the two 8% beers I had. Or maybe just having to get up at 5:30 after getting home at 11 and the requisite insomnia. Either way, well-done, participants and I hope we all OD again real soon. Stay tuned for more 10^23 news.

Co-founder of Kitsap County Skeptics, Skeptic Bryan, has decided that the next meetup should focus on the anti-vaccination movement and it's not too soon as 10 infants in California have died this year from an out break of whooping cough. I don't even know where to start so I won't. Please listen to Skeptically Speaking episode #82 Desiree Schell gonna raise a little hell! or on Itunes.

Also please subscribe to Vaccine Times and forward this to your GP should you be lucky enough to have health insurance. Print out a copy or two and leave it in their office. They like that. Kind of like a welcome Watchtower.

See you next week!
