I love going to Texas. What’s not to like about good BBQ, good scenery, friendly people (I avoid the Republicans), and cowboy boots as an everyday item of clothing? I’ll be in Houston April 9-10 as a “keynote speaker” at the Lone Star Book Fair (see more here), discussing Faith versus Fact with Dan Barker, who’s supposed to interview me, on Saturday, April 9, at 12:30. I expect there will be Q&A as well as discussion, and I enjoy this format a lot more than simply a lecture. And it’s free!
They will of course be selling books, so if you’re in Houston, drop by; and if you say the secret word, “Puma concolor” (the scientific name of the cougar), you’ll get a cat drawn in your book.
Houston is one of most enjoyable and delightful cities in Texas. I found my 8 years living in Dallas a bit problematic, however.
Do not feel alone. I did 9 years in the Dallas area, off on and on but that is another story.
Yes, Houston is much more eclectic and interesting than Dallas or, I think, the overrated (among liberals) Austin. So much good food in Houston too!
I hope CSPAN tapes your discussion. Let us know.
Don’t forget pick up trucks. (And great Indian food in Houston).
Keynote!
See you there. 1 hour drive for me.
I live in Houston and it’s a 1-hour drive to get anywhere!
Wow, you and Kink could go to the talk!
