Eric, I would love to share one idea to avoid with a large group of slightly inebriated people (the memory is still fresh in my mind).  Never, ever do oobleck!   

I would be interested to hear the responses you receive.

Best,
Anne

Subject: Science moment for big dinner

Hello, all:

Every year during our gala we have a science moment, a five minute (ten tops) activity that 500 moderately inebriated and distracted people can undertake at their table with minimal instruction from the person standing at the podium.  That person would be...me.

We have done fine with this for the past several years, but as part of my research I am looking to the ASTC hive mind for ideas.  I know, I should have a whole repertoire of these things in my back pocket, but I am no Eddie Goldstein or Steve Spangler.  So I am cheating by asking my friends and colleagues...

Anything cool you have seen or done in similar settings?

See some of you at ASTC!

Best

Eric
