Lawrence is already a stronghold of reason in Kansas, but they need more outreach: so they’re holding Reasonfest in February. They need help, though, and are looking for donations. Chip in! And even better, attend! They’ve got a good lineup, and the price is right: $0. Which is why they need donations.

ACK! WHYYYYY??? I’m going to be stuck in Kansas City that weekend, running security for an anime convention (and I don’t even care about anime). I wish I could attend Reasonfest. Maybe next year.
*sigh*

Then make your way down to Wichita on April 21-22 for the Skeptics of Oz conference.

I just can’t force myself to go back to Dumbfuckistan, KS.
I will, however, send them a donation.

Can you swap security duties with someone else in return for work on another date?

“Must”? Is that slightly to the right of “should”? Okay, I paypalled them; may I have my cookie now?

What? Here I am living in mild-mannered wishy-washy liberal-ish Olathe all my life and there’s a stronghold of reason one county over?

As a Lawrencian, I says thanks! :) We are also a lonely blue dot in a sea of red. Lawrence is a really good place, and the people holding Reasonfest have been around for a long time – I first knew of them when we were fighting the evolution wars 10 years ago or so. It’s good to hear that they’ve got such a major event planned.
