I don’t know about “all” of the speakers, but many, yes. Greta Christina had to cancel, unfortunately, for health reasons. But I will be there, and many of my titles will be sold, and you can certainly have me sign them (just find me at an appropriate time). That will be true as well for at least some of the other speakers.

As far as booking me in future, everything you need to know is here.

I will be attending Skepticon V. I have read that you will be signing copies of your books as I hope to purchase and get some signed to use as give-aways and auctions within our community to help a freethinker group I belong to. My hope is that maybe I can help them fund a speaker like yourself (Hopefully You) to come to Louisiana. If you call the Springfield the Buckle of the Bible Belt then we are the area above the Ass… and it stinks.

Is it right for me to assume that I will be able to Purchase all of the Speakers that have books and get them signed at the event?

Thank You
Mario Mouton

Regarding Loftus: Possibly. We’ve attended conferences together, but just haven’t both been speakers at them. But I don’t arrange these things (they just come to me). So who knows what the future has in store. Unfortunately I can’t keep up with other blogs, though (or podcasts, either). I only glance occasionally at a few now and then. It’s a shame, since there are so many great blogs and podcasts. But alas, I haven’t time. But if John asked to interview me for his blog in future I’d probably oblige (as I have before).

As to East Coast/DC: nothing in the works for up there, but I will be in North Carolina early next year (details still in the works). Generally if you want me out there, you have to lobby some atheist group to fund bringing me out (details here). Ditto John, I’m sure (he may have info on his website; if you can’t figure out how to reach him, shoot me an email).

Are there any events that you could co-appear with John Loftus? I’d love to get two signatures on my books. BTW, will you stop by his new blog, SkepticInk.com, now and then? Maybe for an interview? Or, better yet, will ever be hitting the east coast or Washington DC area?

Thanks,
Chris

I was informed by a Christian that a room full of skeptics is actually a greater threat to the health and safety to the residents of Springfield than a room full of firearms. I wonder what Bayes’ Theorem has to say about the legitimacy of such an assertion?
