To the godless of Columbus, Ohio: Come on out!

You have an opportunity to participate in an Atheist Coming Out Party. You should! It'll be fun! Atheists always throw the best parties and have the best and smartest conversations!

Bored and godless? Want something fun to do? Visit the Phillipines! The Filipino Freethinkers are having a film festival on 27 February. It'll be a whole day of classic atheist documentaries and comedy films. Quick, catch a plane to Australia: the Adelaide Atheists are having a youtube party.…
The Secular Student Alliance is having their annual meeting in Columbus, Ohio on 29-31 July. You should go — it's relatively cheap, it has some cool atheist leaders and me giving talks, and it's a fantastic opportunity to network and find out how other student organizations are operating. I'm a…
I'm going to be on Atheist Talk radio on Sunday morning at 9am, for a whole hour. Greg Laden is going to be interviewing me, and he's put up a thread asking for questions. Any questions. Go ahead, make me writhe and suffer and struggle on Sunday — I don't mind, and it'll be entertaining. Greg also…
There's an interesting interview with Mara Vanderslice about her attempts to integrate 'religious' people (i.e., Christian--funny how Jews and Muslims, who overwhelmingly vote Democratic aren't part of the 'religious' left according to Vanderslice) into the Democratic party. While I've ripped into…

I suggest an Akubra hat from Australia. I have a special place in my libido for Australian men... :-D

HEY! That was supposed to attach to your OTHER post about hats. *grumble*

Organizations involved: Students for Freethought at Ohio State, Omnipresent Atheists, Secular Student Alliance, Cincinnati Atheists, Cleveland Freethinkers

Whoa... I thought godless Ohioans were a hidden myth, like Bigfoot and Nessie... This sounds like a fantastic event! Thanks for sharing :) :) :)

Hmm...I might have to attend. That sounds fun.

This event is on a Saturday. If they hold the event on a Wednesday (atheist orgy night) they might increase the turnout.

Well, technically, Westerville, but close enough for government work.

Meanwhile, I'm heading out to the one event that makes it worthwhile to live in Columbus: Comfest! Spikedrivers are playing tonight, and I'm volunteering at the Jazz stage beer booth on Sunday.

Aaah! That's me! That's in my town! Nothing cool ever happens here...I'm so excited! :-)

Woo hoo! Something cool in CBus. Of course, did any of you other central Ohioans read The Other Paper article about the church lighthouse on I-71? Apparently the proprietor build a lighthouse because steeples are phallic shaped!

Damn, I'm going to Columbus for college (eek!) next year, but I'll be there in late September. Why couldn't they have the party later so all the college students can come?

... or maybe they don't want the college students coming. Fair enough, I suppose.

Well I hope they want college students coming, considering I am one. :P

I go to OU, but I won't have gone back down to Athens until a few weeks later.

And ComFest is overrated. Just a bunch of hippies trying to get you to sign petitions.

Of course, I type that having just come back from the first day...

Athiests may have the smartest conversations but gays throw the best parties!

ComFest!
I didn't make it down there last night but will today. (It's kinda cute to see the "Free Tibet" booth (nearly) next to the "Mao more than ever" booth)

RE: Fred Mounts @12. Yes, the irony is thick with the lighthouse church. Oh well, as Benjamin Franklin said: "Lighthouses are more useful than churches."

PS: Did anyone see that big line transformer blow up ~15 years ago? Some say it was a lightning strike, but it happened while my friend Willy was wiring up a tent. Coincidence?
