Thursday at American Atheist Convention 2019!
Website [aacon2019.org]
I arrived at registration around 5, checked in and got my tickets and program. Totally excited as I saw Matt Delahunty as I was walking through the lobby.
But I didn’t know anybody! So I circled the bar twice and found a seat ordered a drink and just started talking to the guy next to me, really nice kid, then we started talking to the guy on the other side of me, another really nice Atheist. We exchanged stories, then headed to the Pub Trivia.
On the way we chatted with Matt Delahunty and saw some amazing rubber band magic. I think I managed to not fan girl to much, but I got a picture!
Then the 3 of us from the bar started a table and soon had our 10 including Eric Murphy from the podcast Talk Heathen, our team name was Funky Heathens.
The rounds were challenging, 1st round was questions about Cincinnati, 2nd round was questions that related to the word supreme, 3rd round was to name 10 of the Chief Justices.
Our team came in 5th, which was about middle of the pack and we had a great time.
Then it was time for Cards Against Humanity with the Atheist cards! Some of our table left and new people joined, some great questions and answers happened. I didn’t manage to score any black cards, but laughed a lot and that’s way better.
Then it was back to the bar for more food and drinks, stuck around until 2:30 and got to meet more amazing people!
I met Aaron Ra and Callie Wright and a bunch of other really awesome people.
Pictures are with Matt, Aaron and Friday’s schedule if anyone wants to head over.
Proof for all Atheists get there early participate contribute enjoy and BE FREE FROM THEOCRACY
I've enjoyed meeting everyone too. Great people! Learning so much about so many things.. including myself!
That’s awesome
I wish we could have connected.
A couple times I wondered if I saw someone I knew but wasn’t sure
You have totally sold me. I am going next year.
Excellent!
I'd love to be able to meet Matt and Aaron and Seth. I hope I get to go to an Athiest convention sometime. I'm sure you had a wonderful time. Don't worry, I would have fan girled Matt as well!!
And I got to talk to him again this morning!
Thanks so much for letting us know how it's going. I wish I could have afforded to go myself. Maybe next year.
It looks there was a good atmosphere at the meeting. Enjoy it!
