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.
Today and tomorrow, I'm pounding the keyboard to prepare a couple of talks. At least…
PROLOGUE
LOCATION: The Liberator, cruising through space.
GAN: Are you sure it's fully switched on?
ORAC: Of course I'm properly switched on. Having depressed the activator button what else would you expect?
CALLY: It's his voice.
BLAKE: It's exactly as though Ensor were speaking.
ORAC: Surely…
This is an adaptation of the talk I gave at Westminster Skeptics in the Pub on Monday 2nd August. You can hear an audio transcript of the talk at the Pod Delusion website.
I was invited to stage the talk again at the Winchester SITP, a recording of which is here.
I'm very much a child of the…
...of the Atlantic. After a few stress-inducing bits the less said about which the better, preparations are basically complete, and we're heading out for London tonight. In the highly unlikely event that I haven't done enough plugging of my appearances, here's a compact list of where you'll be able…
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?
NS
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?
