Greta Speaking in Stanford and Cincinnati, 10/5 and 10/16

Greta Christina

I have a couple of speaking events coming up! One is in the Bay Area at Stanford, and one is in Cincinnati at the [email protected] conference — the 20th Anniversary Celebration of the Free Inquiry Group of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. [email protected] promises to be an awesome time: the other speakers include PZ Myers, Jamila Bey, JT Eberhard, American Atheist president Dave Silverman, Darrel Rey, (the creator of the “Sex and Secularism” study), Tom Flynn, and Tim Madigan. Lunch and dinner on Saturday are included in the registration fee, which is very reasonable, and is ridiculously cheap for students.

I’ll be speaking at Stanford University on Wednesday, October 5, hosted by the Atheists, Humanists, and Agnostics at Stanford (AHA!). The [email protected] conference in Cincinnati is on Saturday 10/16 and Sunday 10/17. For both events, my topic will be “Why Are You Atheists So Angry?” (What can I say. It’s a barn-burner.) Details are below. If you’re going to be in/near Palo Alto or Cincinnati, I hope to see you there!

Oh, and while I’m at it: The flyer for the Stanford talk is so far beyond awesome, I have to show it to you at a nice big size. Those are some angry glasses!

    Crap.

    The word “fuel” was supposed to have a strikethrough tag, but I guess that’s not supported (not faulting anyone for that).

    I wasn’t at all sure I could make to the AHA event, but I was there, and very much enjoyed seeing Greta speak a second time. (I was amused to note it was a much smaller room than when she spoke in Utah. : ) Wonderful speech, and thank you to Greta.

    (PS … I hope you didn’t miss your train, Greta. I was waiting for my train across the tracks from the platform for trains going to San Francisco (I was going the other way) and I didn’t see you.)
