So I missed the Atheist Alliance convention. I'm still going to make it to the Freedom From Religion Foundation convention in Madison on 12-14 October. Who else will be joining me there?

I've squeezed one more talk into my fall schedule, but that's it — if you want me to come talk to your university or organization, it'll have to be in January or later — I'm not accepting any more invitations. Here's my complete and final long distance travel schedule for the next few months.…
Since several people were curious, the reason I'll be in Australia next year is that I've been invited to speak at The 2010 Atheist Global Convention in Melbourne, on 12-14 March 2010. All that way for 3 days? I'll probably arrange to spend some extra time on my own dime checking out the drop bears…
I hadn't planned on writing much, if anything more, about the whole Bill Maher debacle, but PZ has shown up in my comments and graciously tried to explain what's going on at the AAI convention regarding the truly awful choice of Bill Maher for the Richard Dawkins Award:
Look, I don't know what else…
I'm supposed to remind you down-under people that the 2010 Global Atheist Convention, The Rise of Atheism, is taking place on 12-14 March in Melbourne. You have to sign up soon or you won't be in the uprising, and you'll find yourself trampled beneath the iron treads of our all-conquering robot…
Argh! That's probably the closest an atheist convention will ever get to Upper Michigan. I'd go if I wasn't broke. Not to mention I love the FFRF. :(
I hope to be there.

I haven't seen you in quite a while, professor. I look forward to seeing you in Madison.
It'll be good to see Madison get a little bit more godless.
?!?!?!!?
YEA! I definitley have to go! It's too close to resist!
I'll be there--hopefully will bump into you.
I live literally 2 blocks from the Terrace. It would be a darn shame to miss it.
I'm still recovering from a recent splurge, so I don't know if I can afford tickets for the convention, though. Which is too bad because I'd really like to see Julia Sweeney, but I can definately afford a beer during one of the breaks!
I'll be there!
I believe I will be able to attend most of the convention.* Hey, looks like we'll be able to have that beer after all. Essen Haus would be a good place for a Pharynguloid meetup, too, very close very close to the Terrace.
If people coming to the event think that would be a good place to hang out, relax, and have a drink, we can formulate plans later this week.
Dang, didn't realize it would be so soon!
*I'll know more details when the Goddess wakes from her holy slumber.
Me, me! I will be there, and will join in with any Pharynguloidal communal activity. Keep us posted ...
I hope you'll be able to make the next AAI! The crowd did cheer when you where mentioned.
You'll just have to organize the next one for sometime between Sept. 5 and Sept. 9 in 2008. I expect to be in Madison then to watch the Wisconsin Ironman.
Leni, just put it on the never-never (credit cards), because how often does the convention come to you? You're saving on travel costs.
I'll be in Madison the 12-13 but for the North Central Region meeting of the Association for Science Teacher Education at the Edgewood campus site.
Monado,
Ha ha. What never-never card? It's got like 4 bucks left on it, lol.
I have a furniture buying problem. We'll see though. I might be able to schmooze my way with a friend.
And the Essen House is alright with me. Not very exciting, but there are bar-wenches. I have a feeling PZ'd like that. Dane has better beer, but I'll go anywhere.
Is there any chance we can get Christopher Hitchens to come along? I'd sort of like to buy him several rounds of shots and see what happens. Morbid curiousity, I know ;)
Hey PZed, I'll be at the FFRF convention.
I was organizing a meetup for saturday lunch over at the IIDB boards.
I'll post the location later when I get home. Home to see ya and the rest of the Pharyngulites there!
Cheers

Fellow pharyngulites:
Many IIDBers are having a meetup during lunch (12-2) saturday the 13th. at an Irish pub within walking distance of the convention meeting area.: http://www.brocach.com/
Feel free to join us there.
Post here if you think you will be there, and I will make reservations this thursday afternoon.
Cheers!
I'll be there! Probably!
