Tell us more. What impressed you most? Did anything not meet your expectations? Think you'll attend another one?

@RedRiverRogue - I admit when I arrived I felt like a marginalized group of Americans. By the time I left, I was inspired to take action and become someone who makes a difference in the landscape of prejudice promulgated by the xtian right wing nutjobs. I am one of many Assistant State Representatives for America Atheists. Taking action locally will have a ripple effect. I strongly urge you to become involved. Contact American Atheists to find out how.

Yes, I will absolutely attend another one. Next year it will be in Kentucky (or Cincinnati maybe?, as I see on a post below); I am already starting to make plans. Some of the best parts were just being around like minded individuals. It felt good knowing others have similar thoughts and beliefs (or lack thereof). I was expecting more people though, but I think David Silverman said the turnout was around 850 or so.

Would be nice to have the closed caption screen higher next year. It was blocked by the people sitting in front of me.

@Brunostic Shoot an email to AA so they can correct that.
