An evening with the Victorian Skeptics
So yesterday I finally attended a Skeptics Cafe event with the Victorian Skeptics :)
The Skeptics Cafe is held on the third Monday of every month at the La Notte cafe in Carlton. It’s a three-hour affair which features a relaxed two-hour dinner/meet-up (6-8pm) followed by a talk and discussion (8-9pm). About 30 people attended last night’s event during which I got to meet some of the Young Australian Skeptics folk, a couple of other newbies like me, and a whole bunch of long-time skeptics. [FYI, you can follow what went on (or goes on) via Twitter’s #VicSkeptics tag.]
Last night’s talk was by Ian Robinson, who is the president of the Rationalist Society of Australia, and was about ‘Rudolf Steiner and the Anthroposophy Cult’. Scary stuff, that. Next month is the Fifth Annual Vic Skeptics Trivia Extravaganza which should be lots of fun and, if you’re going to be in Melbourne at that time (19 May), I hope to see you there.

Ah, I like a man who knows his way around a hyperlink, nicely done! Was great to meet you last night. [goes to check out the rest of your blog...]
Thanks :) It was awesome meeting all of you, too, and I hope to see much more of you as I become more active in the skeptical community.
Took a look at the twitter search you linked to and got this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/carljoseph/3461390513/
So … did the meeting actually happen or was it all just based on faith? ;-)
@Carl Thanks for that; I’ve now fixed the URL. And, yes, the meeting did actually happen :) I should, of course, have taken a photograph of it but I completely forgot. Oh well; next time perhaps.
HI Ameel! Lovely to meet you the other night :)
@Catherine It was lovely to meet you, too :)
