If you’re in the Pacific Northwest — specifically in the Portland or Vancouver, BC areas — come hear me speak! I’m going to be doing a speaking tour, September 9-13, at various college and university campuses in the Pacific Northwest, including Simon Fraser University, the University of British Columbia… and my alma mater, Reed College! I’ll be speaking on a number of different topics, including “Diversity in the Atheist Movement,” “Atheism and Sexuality,” and “Why Are You Atheists So Angry?” I’ll be doing Q&A at every talk, so come prepared to grill me… or just come by and say howdy. The tour is being sponsored by the amazing Secular Student Alliance. Here are the details:

    Mark and Vern: I’ll happily go to Seattle and Eugene on another tour. (I would have done them on this one, but both UW and UO have late starts to their school year and won’t be in session when I’m on this tour.) Talk to the Secular Student Alliance groups at UW and UO — I’d love to come back up there!
