I am also without dinner companions. Could I please go in the pile to be scooped up by people needing to make up the numbers? :) I promise to use the cutlery provided etc. There's a whole bunch of people on here I would just love to sit with but I am a bit too shy to ask.

It's okay, I'm not going to be a third wheel... I know this is a time for folks to catch with old friends so, as an AFA/GAC virgin, I'm okay sitting on the 'singles table'... sitting and waiting for the bouquet toss. :p

I can see this getting complicated very quickly.
I need to put some serious thought in to this because there is way more than 10 people on my must see and chat to list. Then again, I don't know if any of the people I have in mind want to to sit with a dancing queen who is very likely to talk their head off and insist on a dance.
Ah yeesh - I'm so excited but then I'm so anxious now that I won't get my BFF's at the table with me...oh my.

I'd just like to point out that no-one will be chained to their chair for the evening and that it will be possible to move around.
So hows about we think about how many of us there might be who might like to sit in a group and simply ask for that many tables in close proximity.
Where we start can be worked out later and where we finish is anyone's guess. I recall sitting at three different tables for three different courses last time and don't expect a lot different this time really.

I'm really not bothered about where/with whom I sit. I'll be on a table with 9 strangers in a hall full of strangers, albeit lovely friendly atheistic strangers. I just want a fair crack at the bouquet toss. ;)
P.S. Don't say there isn't going to be a bouquet toss... Loki already mentioned there won't be any chains!

I am really excited about the dinner, and would love to sit in close proximity to other AFA forum folks.
I'll be there with JG and my brother, xanthopan. I don't really mind who else I sit with, but AFA forum lads and lassies are my preference.... Loki, did you have in mind those of us from the forum just emailing the dinner request address saying we're forum participants and would like to sit with other forumy-type people?

I am not sure it is exactly a dream for me to go. I had thought about that at one point but realized that the sheer number of people (3000+ or so am I right? It was 2000+ for the 2010 convention) will not work well with me.
If there were like 1-2 people at the convention then maybe I would have considered it.

Not sure if Lee would like that, might cause a mess for her (and the rest of the organiser crowd). How about we put together a list of those who want to be in a forumy group and try and supply vague numbers to help the planning. We can bicker about who starts at what table later. I'd also like to try and arrange for AFA tables to be near other tables of similar origin, like the Ratskepians and the Pharyngulites (and close to the front and close to the drinks and anything else good I can think of).
I'll go first (not trying to include all who have posted similar thoughts, just to get a list going). Copy the list to a new post and add your name to the bottom;

So once we've got a list of folks wanting to be seated at AFA forum tables, I guess we'll need to submit that via email with everyone's RL name?
Loki
22nd November 2011, 01:17 PM
Mmmm. We can either sort that out once we have a half decent list, or people can PM their real name to a trusted intermediary now.
If we decide to do the latter I'd offer to collate it but will be out of coverage on and off for the foreseeable future, or someone else offers, or a Mod or committee member offers (more security for those who are worried), or we assume that most forum names can be mated with real names by those in the know (at least for the more recent ones where that's a field on the membership form).
Thoughts?
Oh, and keep adding to the list, I can see you out there Dogs, and all you mods.

I think it would be too much work for the organisers if we just sent in a list of forum names. RL names and email addresses to a trusted intermediary sound good to me - one of us could send the names in, and CC everyone to make sure it's all cool.

Hello all,
All I can remember from last time was that I was on Table 18 and a very kind person from here organised it as the Richard Dawkins table. I think their name was Praxis was it ?
I would love to be on the same table or at least with the same people as last time.

It is very cool to see the camaraderie of the forum posters reflected in this thread, and I am excited about meeting many of you. This forum has become very important to me both as a resource and as a refuge from the nonsense, so putting faces to names, and then real names to the faces to the names, of the people who have supported my endeavours, listened to my woes, and above all, taught me a hell of a lot in two and a half years, will be quite the treat.
I won't be sitting, otherwise I'd add my name to the request list, but I will stop by to say hello, and to eat any unconsidered trifle.

Hello all,
All I can remember from last time was that I was on Table 18 and a very kind person from here organised it as the Richard Dawkins table. I think their name was Praxis was it ?
I would love to be on the same table or at least with the same people as last time.
:-)
Well hello there, I remember you. Lovely to see you again :)
My name is still Praxis and IIRC, it was damned hard getting hold of you because right about the time we were organising tables, the RDF forum imploded and was later subsequently rubbed out of online history so I had no access to my PMs. Took a while to get hold of the various people who had said they wanted to be part of my table booking, including you, but I prevailed :D
AND here we are again!
Meanwhile, I'm in a bit of a quandary - of COURSE I want to sit with forumites, but I also want to sit with Mod Central (if they have their own table) PLUS I have some Twitter pals whom I'd also love to sit with.
So I guess I will just put my name on the list and then do exactly as I did last year, which was flit frenetically from table to table like a demented moth, trying to touch base with as many fabulous people as I possibly can and nicking dessert from the plates of those who have similarly left their posts for a moment and thus made their dessert fair game.
You have been warned :p
PS: Gruber? The frog in a blender analogy conveys the same meaning of poor dancing skills. Please do try to think things through a bit before posting in the future mate :)

Sheesh, I can't leave you people for a minute without you going off on a tangent.
Now listen carefully and do as you are told otherwise you'll be staying at home. Praxis...I heard that. Go to your room!
You can sit with and near whoever you like ... BUT ... seating needs to be allocated so we can give the MCEC people a list of table numbers stating how many will have omnivore, vegetarian, vegan food etc.
There are a lot of mouths to feed and syncronising everything so it all runs smoothly is a huge task.
What I would like you to do is pick a team leader...i.e. Loki.
Everyone who wants to sit on a Forum table send their confirmation number, name and email to the leader. You can include your forum name too if you feel like it.
The leader can then send us (the Dinner Committee) an email with all the details.
We understand that things might need minor alterations as we get closer to the GAC but that's OK.
You can come out of your room now Praxy.
Happy organising. :)

WAHHHHH CROC IS GOING TO BE THERE!! :D
Last time I was with a table of friends (mostly the backstage gang - volunteers from the Melbourne podcast The Pseudoscientists and one person who I sincerely hope won't be coming again - no idea how they popped up, but never mind) and I spent most of the dessert time running around the entire room catching up with everyone I possibly can (and people took photos and stuff like that). :) So as long as I'm able to run around a bit and say hi, that would be brilliant.
Perhaps also coordinate closer to the time what our table numbers are, so if we're all over the place, we can at least say 'head to Table 5 at some point to catch up with X, Y and Z?'

WAHHHHH CROC IS GOING TO BE THERE!! :DI must say as wary I am of social issues that are highly likely to turn up it is tempting for me to show up. That being said though there is a 5-10% chance I'll rock up to the state some time without actually being part of the convention. I should have enough bucks to do that and now the main thing prohibiting me is if I am not busy with important matters. :)

If Jarmies really want to get real they need to PM me their info. :p
I'm just bunging in names in the order I get them, if you want to sit with someone in particular (or don't want to sit with someone in particular) then let me know and I'll see what I can do. So if LB wants a Mexican table then I would need their details for a start, and details of any other snobbish Mexicans who want to join her. :D

Same answer I sort of gave LBA. If you don't say you want a table and start PMing me your details then no, not unless you organise it yourself. Why stay in your MMM group anyway, think of all the forumites you haven't had a chance to sit next to.

I have a confirmation number (if that's the number you get when your tickets are confirmed in email). Blue Devil, I'll do a PM or thread or something and confirm who from Melbourne is coming, and if they have already organised to sit somewhere. I'll see if I can get a table of sorts started.

I've taken it upon myself to herd the Ratskep cats. I've PM'd the 15 or so RS people that are coming and so far have yeses from Reddix and her husband, Natselrox (if he can sort out his payment problems from India) and Darkchilde. And myself of course. If we're with Starr, that makes 6 ratskeppers so far, with more to respond.
I'll sort out their real names, confirmation numbers, etc once I have firm numbers.

He doesn't need a PayPal account. He can pay using a credit card, it just happens that it goes via PayPal.
Alternatively he can phone Greentix to make his booking. It costs an extra $4.40 for phone bookings.

Does that mean we get more than one? Awesome.
[completely untrue] I think there'll be hair clippings from the presenters, knitted into postmodern art flower-arrangements, which will feature on every table?
AC Grayling's quiff not only features on at least twenty-five tables with white fluffy plume, but will be gifted as a crocheted commemorative doily to the first five-hundred entrants to the convention on the Saturday morning. PZ's beard has been felted into beer mats, which will be available for the first fifty to turn up at the Convention hall bar on the Sunday evening.
You don't want to know what they've done with my curls. :mad: [/completely untrue]

I should ask, is it necessary for the table of tables to be circulating in a public googlable space? I mean I may be a little bit of a "privacy fanatic" here but I couldn't help noticing diet info for members being disclosed in public... I'd hope everybody who's on the list is OK with that.
Although I'm not going to this convention, I thought I would mention this as it could be a minor concern. There are complete nutjobs out there after all. They are everywhere.

I'm going to throw a spanner in the works and I apologise hugely for that but I hadn't realised actual seating at table [x] was being done, just a bulk table booking.
I have previously arranged to sit with Riddlemethis, LBA and our friend Debinmelbourne (whom I will get to PM you her details as she's a member here but not around the forum often). Anything else table-wise is up for grabs but I particularly want to sit with these gals.

My experience with dinners like this is if you have nine at a table of ten you get an extra meal that has my name on it.
Eight doesn't work, the wait staff will notice two empty seats and not put meals down. But one they won't worry about so I bags it if it happens. Getting in early.
Just sayin. :p

28th November 2011, 07:43 PM
Well hello there, I remember you. Lovely to see you again :)
My name is still Praxis and IIRC, it was damned hard getting hold of you because right about the time we were organising tables, the RDF forum imploded and was later subsequently rubbed out of online history so I had no access to my PMs. Took a while to get hold of the various people who had said they wanted to be part of my table booking, including you, but I prevailed :D
AND here we are again!
Meanwhile, I'm in a bit of a quandary - of COURSE I want to sit with forumites, but I also want to sit with Mod Central (if they have their own table) PLUS I have some Twitter pals whom I'd also love to sit with.
So I guess I will just put my name on the list and then do exactly as I did last year, which was flit frenetically from table to table like a demented moth, trying to touch base with as many fabulous people as I possibly can and nicking dessert from the plates of those who have similarly left their posts for a moment and thus made their dessert fair game.
You have been warned :p
PS: Gruber? The frog in a blender analogy conveys the same meaning of poor dancing skills. Please do try to think things through a bit before posting in the future mate :)
That would be great if you still had the Richard Dawkins forum group together :-) I think you had organised 3 full tables. I can PM you with my details again if needed. :-) Your efforts were GREATLY appreciated last time I had a wonderful time.
oh goodness I also need to state Vegetarian for diet requirements.
Is Loki doing all the AFA bookings now ? Just want to try to be with the AFA crew at the dinner.
Praxis
28th November 2011, 08:00 PM
Yes, Loki has put his hand up to do the table bookings this time so PM him your name, email, ticket confirmation number and menu requirements (vegetarian etc) and you'll be assured of a seat with this 'ere motley crew :)

Problem is, no matter where you're seated, there's so many great people to meet & catch up with, that there's an unavoidable element of "missing out", in a way.
Lucky there's always table-hopping... ;):D

No there isn't Dancer - the GAC stadium/hall is actually an anti-gravity experiment performed by some grey aliens who are experimenting with methods on how to convince you lot of pacified humans that under zero gravity, something weird happens.
Turns out the GAC is actually a fantastic opportunity for them to conduct this experiment on hundreds of unsuspecting individuals.

I think speakers are dotted all over the place? I didn't even recognise Julian Morrow from the Chasers on a nearby table until someone grabbed me and asked if I could get him to pose with her for a photo. :(

According to a 2010 Newspoll Survey, 5% of Australians say they are vegetarians with 2% of them actually eating a vegetarian diet. It is just interesting to see the above stats show about 10% are vego, which seems to reflect itself across wider stats even more ;)
Odd how the more outspoken atheist community has a higher percentage on the whole of vegetarians that the Australian average .. wonder what the reason is?

Mr and Mrs Witticism aren't coming now, so they need to be removed off the Ratskep table. We don't have enough for 1 full table, so feel free to throw in any AFA extras who wouldn't mind meeting some new people.

They're saving their cash for a trip to WA and another to QLD this year. Witti's coming to play tennis at my place (OK, he's also coming here for other reasons).
Anyhow, I think that there's 5 or 6 of us ratskeppers hoping to find a few more bodies to join us. I promise we won't bite.
:D
Loki
12th January 2012, 08:28 PM
Don't worry, we'll fit everyone in.
Would anyone particularly like to sit with RatSkepians? Seeing as many of them are members here and many of us are members there I can't see any difference really.
I'll juggle a bit and let you have a decide on what I came up with.
Might have to banish Loki and let Fenrir go instead.
