Join us for a special Drinking Skeptically before NECSS

There’s no better way to kick off NECSS than with a gathering of skeptics, critical-thinkers, and like-minded individuals in a casual, relaxed atmosphere. That’s why we are inviting you to join us for a special Drinking Skeptically the evening before NECSS.

When: 8PM Friday September 11

Where: Dewey’s Flatiron – 210 Fifth Avenue, New York, NY 10010

Attendance is free; there is no need to purchase a NECSS ticket to attend (however, we encourage everyone to attend the conference!).

This event is co-sponsored by the Drinking With Atheists Meetup Group.

That’s right the Westboro Baptist Church is going to be in Philadelphia tomorrow, Saturday, and Sunday.

If anyone decides to show up, please remember, they do have the right to free speech, no matter how disgusting that speech is. They’ll be looking for a fight, so don’t give them one.
