 I shoot you dead. Level: 9 CS Original | http://bostonskeptics.com/2011/10/skeptics-in-the-pub-with-kimball-atwood-and-mark-crislip/ I'll be attending Boston Skeptics in the pub tomorrow, and the featured speakers are Mark Crislip of Quackcast fame, and Kimball Atwood of Naturowatch, and of course both contribute to the science based medicine blog. Should be a fun time...I will post a report after the event. I can't wait! | |||||

 Genuine American Monster Level: 70 CS Original | Mark Crislip recently did a very interesting podcast about drinking pee. You should ask him about it. | |||||

I shoot you dead. Level: 9 CS Original | ^Listened to that already. I'm probably going to relisten to some quackcasts tomorrow before I go, as well as check out SBM (haven't read it in a while) and browse naturowatch. Apparently Crislip will be talking about acupuncture. It's going to be an awesome evening. Kepp...WHY U STALK ME..or are you going to be there too since you live not too horrendously far from Boston? | |||||

Level: 5 CS Original | I actually knew about it and wanted to go. I just don't feel like driving down to Boston on a weeknight, if it was earlier or on a weekend I'd so be there. | |||||

I shoot you dead. Level: 9 CS Original | Well, what a great evening. Crislip spoke first, and as I hoped, he was as funny in person as he is in his podcasts. Lots of silly jokes and very informational as well. Went over the double blind placebo controlled clinical trial, and then talked about acupuncture and how useless it is. He was followed by Kimball Atwood, who spoke a bit more on the history of acupuncture in the US, and how it came over here. Afterwards I got the chance to speak to Crislip, I told him how awesome his shows are, and got the below picture.  Hell yeah. I took other pictures, you can view them on my Facebook and G+. I also took a video of Crislip talking about acupuncture. However, my internet connection isn't the greatest, so I'll upload it to youtube tomorrow. Yes, I'm going to make a youtube account (http://www.youtube.com/user/WolfBird324?feature=mhsn) specifically for all of you to share this video, and then maybe I'll actually use the damn thing. | |||||

I shoot you dead. Level: 9 CS Original | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKnwnHYL2zQ Took all afternoon to upload, but here's the video I took of the second half of Crislip's talk. Bad camera work, not the best angle, people moving all over the place...live with it. | |||||
