Colorado Skepticamp 2008 Pictures
Today I attended the second annual Skepticamp in Castle Rock, Colorado. A big thanks should go out to Rich and Crystal for organizing, to the Castle Rock Library for the use of their meeting space, and to the JREF for giving money for lunch and for Skepticamp T-Shirts.
We have fascinating lectures on topics ranging from proposed legislation in Colorado to license naturopathic "doctors," therapeutic touch, skeptical activism, and a Skeptical Trivia Challenge hosted by yours truly. Here are some snapshots of the event: ![]() The crowd listens to an interesting lecture. ![]() Skeptcamp organizer Rich ![]() Co-organizer Crystal ![]() The Dean of the Colorado Skeptical community--Reed. ![]() Me--hosting the Skeptical Trivia Challenge ![]() The room from behind. ![]() Waiting in line for lunch. ![]() Geoff gives a lecture ![]() How therapeutic touch is done. |

Great pics Rich! By my count we had turnout in excess of 50.
I'm working on a detailed recap of the days events and will let this thread know when it's up. And 'dean' of Denver Skeptics? Bah, I'm more of a Svengali. ps, I wonder if anyone can guess the identity of the fellow in the baseball cap in the back of the first picture? Or the identity of the young woman in bottom picture? |

Looks like a great event. But the big question on my mind is, did you play Werewolf?

I guessed Phil and Elaine, but I see several people beat me to it!
I used to live about 5 miles from there - looks like a pretty decent turnout. |

This was my first Skeptical event, and I had a very good time. I'm looking forward to future events!

It's been awhile and no one has identified the young lady in the bottom picture. Emily Rosa is her name. She is standing next to her mother, Linda Rosa. Please click the link to find out more about these amazing ladies.
