Good afternoon! Hope everyone is staying in and preparing for Unofficial this Friday (please be safe and WISE about your decisions, we know you're smart enough). We are STILL having a meeting this week, with Jason Romero, past VP coming in to speak. The talk is called, A Postmodern Critique of the New Atheist Movement. The meeting will be on Thursday at 7 pm, back to our usual location at NHB 229. We'll head to Murphy's afterward per usual, but some might want to take it easy for Friday's festivities.
Good news! The Chicago conference, sponsored by CFI, has finally opened for registration! Go ahead and get a ticket now, before it's too late!

In other news, we'll be seeing Hemant Mehta in two weeks at Noyes, on March 12th at 7 pm! Please come ready with questions and a big welcome for one of our oldest AAF friends.
Meanwhile, we're in the midst of planning a possible panel discussion with the Navigators (check them out at http://www.illininavs.org/). In order to facilitate a discussion, we usually have a pre-meeting where we both draw up a list of questions to ask, and then each group chooses which ones would be most interesting to answer for the audience. This is not a debate by any means, but if you would like to be on the panel or have an idea of a reasonable question we could ask during the Q and A, let us know by shooting back an email.
Also, the Navigators have invited us to attend an open Q and A with a creation science scholar, Dr. Charles Jackson, on Tuesday, April 20th, at 7 pm in the Union. If interested, we'll keep you all posted until then.
If you're not too busy (or hungover) this weekend, join us for a viewing of Alice in Wonderland at the Savoy Theatre, at 6:50. We're seeing it in 3-D! Tickets will be up online on the Savoy website late tonight, and you are responsible for your own ticket. I'd suggest buying it in advance. Some will be driving and others will taking the 100 YELLOW SOUTH bus over to the Savoy center. If you want to meet up with the busers (In case you were wondering, a "buser" is one who uses the bus. Don't look it up.), the bus leaves Illinois Terminal at 5:21 (we're getting there around an hour in advance for good seats). If you have any questions about this, send a quick email and we'd be happy to fill you in. Seriously! It's a good chance to hang out with all the cool AAF members and get to know us better.
As always, check us out at www.uiucatheists.blogspot.com and comment, comment, comment. It validates the officers' meager existences. There is interesting stuff being put up there!
Happy UnAAFicial!
