Hey all:
Just wanted to give everyone a head's up that the world's first (as far as we can tell, anyway)Atheist Film Festival is coming to San Francisco's historic Roxie theater next month on June 28th. Check out www.atheistfilmfestival.org for details; we're also on Facebook. If you'll be in the Bay Area that weekend, or know someone who will be, we'd love to see you there! Tell your heretic friends!

Great, R.C.! Hey BTW, if anybody wants to make an all-atheist weekend of it, San Francisco Atheists will be having their summer solstice picnic the day before - Saturday, June 27th. See the SFA website for details (www.sfatheists.com) And if you need reccommendations for places to stay, let me know. See you all there!-DF
Oh, I wish. Except I could never convince my parents to let me go. X) I only have the means of 15 years.
Sounds fun David. Wish I could come too, but I've got a baby due a couple of weeks after that so I better stick close to home. I hope it becomes an annual event :)
Chantel,
If having a baby becomes an annual event you will be kept very busy!
When you find out what causes it you might want to ration this in some way. ;o)
Uh oh. Once again my poor grammar has gotten me into trouble! I hope the film festival is an annual event. As for the babies, two is more than enough. Of course maybe I need to help populate the homeland with little atheists who want to attend these events.
Congrats on the new baby, Chantel! I, too, was wondering if you were looking to become a human baby factory or something. :-)Of course maybe I need to help populate the homeland with little atheists who want to attend these events.
Believe me, the thought has also crossed my mind from time to time. Ha! I have two kids and I agree, they are more than enough...for now, at least. Do you know/want to know the sex of the new baby?
Congrats again, Chantel! Hey, you're a California girl, aren't you? How far are you guys from SF, anyway?
One more reason I wish I lived in the Bay area. Oh well, while you guys are off enjoying the atheist film festival, I'll be stuck here in Las Vegas, thinking that maybe there is a hell after all.

Allegiant Air, Las Vegas to Fresno, 50 bucks each way. I can give you ride.
Maybe if I didn't just sink $1100 into my car...I don't know, that's tempting. I'll have to chew on it. I'll ask God for guidance.
Hey, you're a California girl, aren't you? How far are you guys from SF, anyway?We're in the LA area, but my husband goes up to Oakland occasionally for work. When the kids are more mobile we'll definitely have to come up for a meet-up of some sort.
Hey Dan, I thought you were an East Coast guy. Are you trying to throw us off with your profile?
I'll ask God for guidance.
Why not just ask God for fifty bucks? For an omnipotent guy, it should be easy. Its not like your asking him to defeat in iron wheeled chariot or anything.
SWEET! It's within walking distance to my home! Bonus: A good friend premiered his first short (16F9) there a few years back.
Since we're on the topic of atheists and moving pictures, I thought I'd re-post this message I posted in another group:Jim Jeffries, an Aussie comedian who happens to be an atheist - and proudly works that fact into his sketches - made me laugh my ass off tonight. He's got a special on HBO called "Swear to God", but sadly none of his religion-themed skits are online, just the tawdry stuff.
He's in the vein of Bill Hicks, but a tad less political, slightly more raunchy, and a lot more abrasive (which I like!).
Check out the show if you can!
I should be more diligent about reading my SF Atheists newsletter, at least as much as I read here.RC, et al., I live just a few blocks up the street from the Roxie. Depending on prevailing circumstances, I will otherwise be there. This will be a great opportunity to meet in person.
Chentel,
I am an East Coast guy, but I recently moved out to the Vegas area for a job. I hope to not be here in the world's largest strip mall for more than a year or two, just long enough to try that bacon martini at the Double Down.
