Turns out I could not attend in person, but they are streaming it. If the stream sticks, push your slider back a bit and it should run smoother. There's been some really good stuff already. Silverman on now.

1. figures; as soon as I posted that link, the stream dries up

if/when it comes back, when you join the stream, you can scroll the slider all the way to the start of the rally.

5. His reasoning makes sense.

But most of all, it's because atheists don't generally share anything other than being unconvinced that gods exist. We're not followers, we're not looking for someone to tell us what to think. There is no central theme. It's not a dynamic that lends itself well to massive get-togethers.

6. Washington DC to lobby Congress during this election season?

Bad scheduling or wrong venue. They need to move it to Denver ... central location that comes with other perks. Attendance would go through the roof.
