Virtual Drinking Skeptically is a video chat based discussion group that meets at least twice a month. If you're skeptic-friendly and enjoy interesting discussion, geekery, and other silliness, then join us on our next event!

Yes, this thing is still on. Yes, we are having a video chat tomorrow night, and yes, I haven’t completely given up. Although, it may seem like it.
Here’s the deal-ly-o. I’m quite a busy guy now, with the space robots and all, demanding more and more of my time. And yes, I still have to manage the little spawns-of-brian as well, so I really don’t have much time to run down guests, come up with clever topics, or other really cool stuff for the video chat. Plus, if you haven’t noticed, video chat has become a not-so-special thing now that Google+ is pimping it out for free (nyah nyah google, why are you still so limitted!?).
Anyway, I promise I will have some time soon, and I promise to make good on some of the promises that I promised all of you, I promise. But, for now, we have a stinkin’ video chat tomorrow! So cancel whatever lame thing it was you were planning, get something to drink (if you want), grab your pet, find something nerdy to show off, and let’s GET OUR GAB ON!
Oh yeah, here’s the link:

Yes, there is a video chat tomorrow, Friday, Nov 4th! I know you’re excited, I’m excited too! There’s nothing that validates my reclusive anti-social life more than virtually pretending I’m doing something social when I’m really alone, with my cats and my computer. Well, anyway.
As you know, one of my favorite things about VDS is the story telling. I can’t get out to all of the mega-skeptic-nerdy-social events around the country, so I do my best to get people who do attend these things to come on video chat and share their crazy stories, while we all make fun of them. (We’re really crying on the inside because wished we were there)
Apparently there was a mega-skeptical event last weekend, on Halloween, in New Orleans, and from what I hear IT WAS CRAZY! So, I know at least ONE of you out there must have some great stories to tell (I’m looking at you Bob, Brian, and um … others). So get your ass on video chat tomorrow so we can all be envious of your good times. (Or I may make you suffer by subjecting you to more cute cat pictures)
Here’s the link for tomorrow’s chat:

In case you missed this past Friday’s chat, here’s an interesting screen capture. Thank you to Brian Thompson for spending 3 silly hours talking to us about the wonderful upcoming JREF stuff, live from the set of The Red Green Show, and for giving us a complete and thorough description of what David Duchovny looks like in his underwear.*
