On 5-6 April, there will be a free conference in Minneapolis — SkepTech. I’ll be there (ho-hum, you say, so what?), but you should take a look at the speaker list. It’s going to be awesome! I just discovered that Zach Weinersmith will be there, which is awesome all by itself. Although if he does his talk naked…wait, less awesome, or more?
By the way, I think this is one of those free or very cheap conferences (although they do ask for donations). You should plan on coming. The snow will probably be all gone by April, and you won’t freeze to death as soon as you cross the border into Minnesota.
Yeah, I know, the Canadians will cross the border and strip down to bikinis and short shorts. Don’t let that discourage you, though.

Naked talks are always more awesome.

The Horror! The Horror! The mind boggles at Canadians in short shorts.

I hear that Brownian fellow looks purdy in short shorts. Wonder whatever happened to him.

This conference looks great! Kudos to the Campus Atheists Skeptics and Humanists (CASH) and Secular Student Alliance at St. Cloud State University (SSA@SCSU) for this undertaking!

Huh; there’s a computer security conference in Minneapolis the week after and I’m speaking there. Looks like a perfect excuse for me to come a day or two early and hang out!

Oh, excellent, Marcus! And it’s April in Minnesota—so that means shirtsleeve weather!
