After quite the initial adventure getting to the airport (fuck you, Seattle public transportation), I am now safely in Thousand Oaks, California. No, this isn’t just some random vacation funded by my ample graduate student budget – though it will be a lot of fun. I’m here for the Secular Student Alliance’s Southern California regional leadership summit.
I’m really looking forward to meeting all of the students and hearing the other speakers – Michael Shermer, Bobbie Kirkhart, Dan Barker, Sikivu Hutchinson, Darrel Ray, and many more! I’m also giving a talk, but since I was just looking for lolcat photos to add to my slides, I’m not sure I’m going to be as classy as everyone else.
And now that I’ve filled myself with fish tacos, I’m going to take a nap. I only got 2 hours of sleep last night, and I need my energy for all the godless debauchery that will occur over the next couple of days.

You can write ‘debauchery’ on 2 hours of sleep?!

Shoot, I’m here five days a week. Wish I’d known you were coming. Will there be a podcast version of your talk tomorrow afternoon? A transcript at least?

Looking forward to meeting you tomorrow…It’s gonna be a rainy drive down there. I’m bringing a couple copies of The Atheists Guide To Christmas for you to hopefully sign……

Why do many people use “fuck you” as a curse? To me, like “it sucks”, it seems more like a blessing.
