A Northwest Freethought conference

Hey! I didn't hear about this until just now, but there's going to be a conference of the godless in my home state of Washington on 26-28 March. Ophelia Benson will be speaking there! If you're in the area, you should be going…I'm kinda wishing I could go, too.

Ah, I'm back home again, and just in time…the snow started falling just as I crossed the Morris city limits. I was at the Minneapolis screening of Flock of Dodos, and they had a big crowd at the Bell Museum auditorium, including many of the usual suspects in the struggle against creationism in our…
I'll be in Portland, Oregon this weekend for the Northwest Freethought Conference, which I'm sad to say, is completely sold out. You procrastinated, didn't you? You dawdled over making the decision, and now it's too late — you're going to have to stay home and weep sadly over lost opportunities,…
First, you've got to hand it Richard Branson. Say what you want about his contradictory ways -- promoting wasteful extravagance while saving the planet from the products of those wasteful ways -- but his choice of brand name was brilliant. And it gives newspaper editors and bloggers an…
There are all these PharynguFests going on, but they all make me entirely superfluous…I may have to pout. Why isn't anyone inviting me to London or Anchorage?

Noooo! It's the same weekend as NWAC (the Northwest Anthropological Conference), which is being held at CWU/Ellensburg. There's finally a neat godless event in my area, and I can't go. Figures.

(And why isn't Sastra a featured speaker at more of these hubbubs? And why isn't she an official Skepchick either?)

AIM sign-in isn't working, so you get me as "Massive Google Name" instead.

I might just have to go to this . . . looking at the schedule now.

I should see if I can make it.
Provided we can pay for it, of course...

I've seen a lot of Freethought/Skeptic/Atheist meetings popping up lately. This is clearly a Very Good Thing; it seems as though we're finally getting out there and telling the world that, yes, we don't just sit at our computers all day and complain about Jesusfreaks.
