We’ll also have Amanda Knief, Hector Avalos, Greta Christina, and some boring local guy they always bring in because he’s cheap and convenient. But it will be great …

DJ Grothe responds
He didn’t care much for my criticism of their advertising copy yesterday, so he sent me an email. I’m not sure if you [it was cc'ed to several people] want to be kept up on things like this (we try not to get distracted by bloggers who have a habit of taking aim at JREF, …

Skepticon is such a tease
Skepticon likes to tantalize you, dribbling out speaker names a few at a time. Last week they told us that Aron Ra, Amanda Knief (who has a new book out, with Barry Lynn: The Citizen Lobbyist), and Amanda Marcotte will be there — we’re off to a great start! This week, it’s Debbie Goddard! Rebecca …

A misleading claim by a skeptical organization
Say, I got this same email from the JREF that JT did. TAM 2013 is actually cheaper than any other skeptic conference when hotel, travel, and meals are factored in. Hotel rates for similar conferences range from $150-200 per night, while our TAM group rates go as low as $45 a night! But the group …

Dublin, 29-30 June!
In a bit more than two weeks, it’ll be time for the Empowering Women Through Secularism conference in Dublin. It’s going to be excellent, you should go! I know there has been some concern that Michael Nugent has been enabling certain abusers to mouth off, but as Ophelia mentions, we’ve been talking about it behind …

We’re hanging out! Come join us!
We’re starting up soon. If you were hooked up earlier, hang up and rejoin — I had to restart the whole shebang. And here we are! We had a full house at the end. I had hoped to get Ophelia Benson (we had technical difficulties there) and Michael Nugent (who is celebrating his birthday, and …

What was I doing last weekend?
Now you can read the report from the first ever IHEU General Assembly in Eastern Europe from the International Humanist and Ethical Union. That’s where I was! They summarize the talks — it turns out that religion is wrecking cultures everywhere. Surprise.

Come on out to SkepChickCon
I have barely stepped off the plane and I’m getting reminders that I’ve got more conferences ahead of me — including SkepChickCon. OK, I can handle that, it’s not until July, and it’s local, in Bloomington, Minnesota, but then I read this bit: This year, we’ll have panels on everything from food science and mythology, …

Live, from the Palace of Parliament!
I’m at the humanist conference on “Education, Science and Human Rights” in Bucharest, sponsored by Asociatia Umanista Romana, the International Humanist and Ethical Union, and the European Humanist Federation…and you’re not. I’m not going to be live-blogging it, I’m afraid — I’m so tired right now I’m going to be using my currently limited cognitive …
