I realize that this is a little late, but for those of you in southeast Michigan who might be able to make it, there's going to be an attempt at an inaugural Skeptics in the Pub. Thanks to fellow ScienceBlogger and skeptical rogue PalMD and even more so thanks a couple of his similarly skeptical (but blog-free thus far) buddies, this event will come to fruition tonight. If it works out, maybe next time we'll gussy it up a bit and perhaps even have a speaker. For now, though, it's just a chance to meet and greet in informal surroundings.
PalMD and Orac will be there. If you're in southeast Michigan and are so inclined, feel free to drop by.

The mild nausea I mentioned earlier? Gone now, it seems to have vanished as soon as I disposed of the wretched rag Answers in Genesis sent me. It's a good thing, too, because I have a frantic weekend ahead of me.

Poking through the archives to find some old physics posts to fill space while I'm away from the keyboard, I realize that back in 2002, I wrote a lot more about politics than I do now.This is largely because most of what I wrote about politics back then makes me cringe now. And, in fact, made me…

Sometimes, you might feel like you've heard it all, seen it all, and that nothing's original anymore. But I beg to differ. Just because great things have come before doesn't mean that there aren't great things happening right now. While it…
Avi Steiner emailed me with a set of questions that are too good not to turn into a blog post:
Being a math/science major at a small liberal arts college, I unfortunately never get the "full" experience of a math/science talk. Since I do plan on eventually attending grad school, I thought it might…
Do one again next month, I'll actually be in southeast Michigan then!
hmmm, I'll have to consider this, maybe not tonight, but when I get the chance it's not too far for me.
We're starting them up all over the place! SE Michigan tonight, Louisville tomorrow... Nothing but AWESOME can come from this...
I actually live in Southeast Michigan. Will there be more of these?

Stay tuned. We are likely going to make this a monthly thing. We had about 10 people turn out last night. It was great meeting new people.
We are going to need a venue that is a little quieter so that the entire group can hear one another.
Thanks to Orac and PalMD for posting. We got a nod from CFI Michigan on their Facebook page.
I was occupied otherwise I would have definitely made it out. It is only 15 minutes from my home.
Yeah, I second that-do it again! My daughter and I will be in Detroit the first week of September. We'd love to come out.
Unfortunately, I don't think we'll be doing it again that soon; discussions were along the lines of doing it again in late September. Hopefully next time, though, we'll be able to provide much more notice.
Oo late September works for me! So long as it's not into October.
Damn! I missed it. :(
Any plans for another Skeptics in the Pub get-together?
The CFI calendar shows a meeting for September 19th!

Thanks, Sk3pt1c! You might want to check the calendar again, though, because I believe it says it's Friday night, 9/18/09, rather than 9/19/09.
Orac, any chance you're attending this one?
