I attended the annual Atlanta Skepticamp this past weekend. I originally wrote this the day after it ended, but didn't get around to proofreading till today. It's really after the event that I knew what to think of it. When the time came to fill out a brief survey and give feedback, I was a little at a loss to think of anything useful to suggest except, "MOAR SWORDS!" (Explanation to come.) So I'm just trying to pull together a useful description for people thinking of attending in the future. Skepticamp is an event that is set up by any local group of skeptics interested in holding one. It's really just an opportunity for people living in particular locales to gather and present their thoughts and ideas regarding or stemming from skepticism.
First of all, I should point out that this is my first Skepticamp and really my first skeptical event. I wanted to attend the one being held last year, but I wasn't able to due to illness and other assorted life-stupidity. This year, I almost didn't make it again thanks to travel plans which I was able to postpone.
