Greta Speaking in San Francisco and Stanford

I have a couple of speaking events coming up in the Bay Area — one about atheism, and one about sex. On Saturday Sept. 24, I’ll be doing the legendary “Perverts Put Out” reading series of Bay Area sex writers in San Francisco (along with several other first-rate writers and performers). And I’ll be speaking on “Why Are You Atheists So Angry?” at Stanford University on Wednesday, October 5.

Details are below. If you’re going to be in the San Francisco or South Bay area, I hope to see you there!

*EVENT/ HOSTS: Perverts Put Out – Folsom Street Fair Edition
DATE: Saturday, September 24
TIME: 7:30 pm
LOCATION: The Center for Sex and Culture, 1349 Mission Street, San Francisco
TOPIC: Sex. Probably kinky sex. I haven’t decided which piece I’m going to read yet. You’ll just have to be surprised.
OTHER READERS: Blake Aarens, M. Christian, Marlo Gayle, Robert Lawrence, Kirk Read, horehound stillpoint, hosts Dr. Carol Queen and Simon Sheppard, and more!
COST: $10-15, sliding scale

EVENT/ HOSTS: Atheists, Humanists, and Agnostics at Stanford (AHA!)

LOCATION: Building 160, Room 124. (Also known as “Wallenberg Hall”, NE corner of the Main Quad.)

    I want to go to PPO! so badly! I’ll be in San Francisco that weekend, but I’ll be at a debate tournament the whole time. Maybe I can skip the Saturday award ceremony and try to make it. But either way, good luck, hope you have fun!

    As it happens, I am moving from Salt Lake to Santa Clara (new job, finally), and will be living Santa Clara when the AHA event happens. Whether or not I will be able to attend is work dependent, but at this point it seems likely that I will be there.

    I will be at the Folsom Street Fair, likely drunk and wearing something technically illegal. The FSF always right around my birthday, so I like to pretend that San Francisco is throwing me a big perverse party.

    I’ll see if I’m in a state to attend that reading by the time 7:30 comes around. 🙂

    AHA?!?! hahahahahahahahahahahaha! That’s fantastic!

    I just discovered your blog a few days ago and have thoroughly enjoyed going through the archives. Your entry on Why Atheists Are Angry was spot on, and I hope to make it the AHA event. Needless to say, I’m sure, but keep up the great work!
