The intertubes home of author Robert Lanham

Tune in tonight.... I'll be discussing the Jesusyness of Sarah Palin and the Mavrickiness of McCain on BlogTalkRadio. Using Google maps, I've seen Capitol Hill from my home, so I'm an expert on all things political. From Rumproast:

Check out the premiere of our BlogTalkRadio show Radio Rumproast Monday September 15th from 11PM-12:30AM ET. Our guest will be Robert Lanham, author of the The Hipster Handbook, Food Court Druids..., and The Sinner's Guide to the Evangelical Right. We'll talk about his books, evangelicalism in politics, the general election and ferrets. We'll also feature a roundtable of bloggers, including Rumproast's poputonian, discussing the past week's events and, of course, we'll be taking your calls. Radio Rumproast: We like it well-done.

Adam Rosen was kind enough to invite me to speak next Thursday, June 26, at Happy Ending Lounge. Hope you can make it. From Gelf Magazine:

The Non-Motivational Speaker Series returns to New York on Thursday, June 26 at 8 p.m. Curated and hosted by Adam Rosen, this monthly event features an above-average lineup of decidedly non-motivating authorities, each presenting views alternative and overlooked on a veritable goody bag of topics. A different theme will be tackled clothesline-style each month, including, but not limited to, comedy, amateur pornography, culture jamming, and religion.

Small Media (as opposed to...Big) will be this month's topic. Featured speakers are Anna Holmes, Editor of Jezebel.com; Chez Pazienza aka Deus ex Malcontent, blogger par excellence, emmy-winning TV producer ([very] formerly of CNN), and PDF-published memoirist; and Robert Lanham, Editor of FREEwilliamsburg and author of The Hipster Handbook and The Sinner's Guide to the Evangelical Right.

It was great meeting Andy Borowitz, David Rees, and Scott Dikkers this week. The event was fun and well-received. The Awearness blog has a couple of quick posts here and here.

Next month, I'll be travelling to lovely Minneapolis to do a reading from The Sinner's Guide to the Evangelical Right. I'm looking forward to meeting Richard Dawkins who will be the main event of the conference. Here's the scoop:

AMERICAN ATHEISTS returns to historic Minneapolis, MN for our 34th National Conference!
March 21-23, 2008
Join us for a weekend of workshops, panels, talks by noted speakers and other activities. Minneapolis is also one of the premier tourism destinations in this part of the nation, so you’ll want to consider making your Conference visit an extended weekend. More information here.

And then in April, I'll be part of a panel discussing "humor in journalism" at The New Yorker Conference. Details to follow (once I get them).
