Skeptics of Oz was great--
Sean Gillespie asked me if I had any requirements/requests to speak, I gave him my usual rider:

AWESOME!
Sean was just a fantastic…
Because I am a cliche absent minded scientist, I completely forgot that I had tickets to Austin City Limits this year, until my passes came in the mail like last week :-/
Like, I 'remembered', but I thought it was in October or something... I dunno what my brain was doing...
Im too busy in the lab…
Two weeks till FreeOK! You can grab tickets in advance HERE.
My talk will be: "How I learned to stop worrying and love viruses"

AHAHAHA. Miranda on stage with Twatson, and you with reGreta. Maybe there will be some good stories about hangin' with them in 'green room' (or its variant). Maybe you could invite her out to coffee?
I wish you all the best at this convention, Abbie. Have fun!

Goodness, the promo video makes it seem like it's gonna be a head-bangin' good time. I really want Beavis & Butthead to watch & comment on that :)
Can't wait for Skeptics of OZ!! See you there.
