Travis Roy of Granite State Skeptics talked a bit about skeptical activism and also demonstrated how the Power Balance bracelet, and other trinkets like it, is far better at relieving you of your money than anything else. Turnout was lovely and we had several new faces in the audience. Welcome!

Jon Ronson talks about The Men Who Stare at Goats, Uri Geller, predators, nearly being killed ( a lot) and… well, you really just need to watch. Jon is engaging and funny and we could have just let him talk all night and been happy.

Our November Skeptics in the Pub with George Hrab was incredible. And if you missed it (or just want to watch it all again), you’re in luck. Here it is in two parts (the man entertained us for two hours!). We’d like to thank George and remind everyone that his new CD ‘Trebuchet’ is due out soon (and you should buy it!). Without further yackity-yack, here he is. The man-shaped music machine that is… George Hrab!
UPDATE: Bonus! An added bonus. Just watch it… I can’t easily explain. Dapper Ladies

And don’t forget to check out George’s podcast, buy his music (at CDbaby, iTunes or GeologicRecords) and visit his website.

Political satirist/singer/songwriter and “that Creation Science 101 guy” (or maybe you know him from Ted Haggard is Completely Heterosexual) Roy Zimmerman sat down with us for an interview yesterday. If you haven’t heard his songs before, head on over to RoyZimmerman.com and check out his site and his YouTube videos. And then go check him out live this Saturday afternoon at the anti-war rally in Copley Square or his full show in Worcester that evening with the Worcester Humanists. Or, if you’re down in Marblehead, he’ll be playing there Friday night.

And without further ado… Roy Zimmerman:

Yes, it’s true. Rebecca and Sid just got married at TAM7 during the live SGU recording. Don’t worry! It was recorded and you can watch the recording from the official stream below. I’ll post a link to the wedding photos in a bit as well. (PS – Anyone with good pics who’d like to add them to the pool, email me – maggie@aggravatedmedia.com ).

Congrats, you two! Big Love! – Maggie
