Actually, it's 'The Heretic's Barbecue', an event hosted by CVASS.
Here's what the press release in my mailbox had to say:
"Do you cherish science and rational thinking?"
Well, yes, I do.
"Would you like to meet with others who share your secular values?"
Well, I'm not a secularist, but I do share values with those who do.
"Then join us for a freethinking event, located right here in the California Central Valley. The Central Valley Alliance of Atheists and Skeptics proudly presents the First Annual Heretics Barbecue!"
Wow, that's not what I expected. The press release goes on:
"Rational thinkers, skeptics, secular people of all types, and friends and supporters AND their families are all welcome at this event."
That's a pretty broad invite! I guess I can attend and worry about which category I fit into later! If this sounds fun (and I think it will be), then why not attend?
