I can only hope for a similar conference here in South Africa it would be well attended. I sooooo wish we had an Atheist talk radio here too!

I am still thinking about going . I am from the Eastcoast ,I do not know anyone who is going .

Why? What do you do there?

I heard God has considered going, but no one invited her.

Would love to go carpooling and room sharing....going stag is out of my budget....I have been to 10 American Atheists National Conventions including our Solar Eclipse NOT Madalyn and Jefferson birth anniversary party....there is no such thing as "Easter weekend" there was no crucifixion and 33 hour "death" of an alleged baby gawd in Palestine 1987 or 1991yrs ago upon our fake backdated fictional calendar

I would love to. If my promoter can get me a gig there then I'll be there for sure.

I'll probably be in Mesa with my girlfriend in early April. Fairly short drive from my home in Las Vegas. I'll look into it.

Inwould love to but next year I am planning on going to Faithless Forum, a meeting of atheist YouTubers.

I am!!

Not a priority. Phoenix is very nice in April, though. You'll enjoy it.

I have to be there in February on business, when it's still nicer than here in upstate NY. I lived there for 13 years and so know it well.

I think you'll have fun. I'm an introvert, and don't mingle with people very well, but at the conventions I've been to, I had a lot of fun. I wish I could go, but I'm on the other end of the country.

I probably don't need a conference about something I don't believe in. I'm OK with it.

I might consider it. I do and have gone to many Freedom From Religion Foundation conferences and they are fun, fun and even funny. They are also very well attended (900 in the Portland conference) and have top notch speakers (Salman Rushdie in the San Francisco conference - LucyLooHoo and I attended this one). The next one will be November in San Antonio and I will go (if nothing less than to bug my JW sister).

I will purchase my ticket and make the trip, even though I've never been to an atheist convention before.

Good question
