Just start opening your eyes.

Hello and welcome to this episode of the Atheist Experience.

We're broadcasting live today on Sunday, September 3rd, 2017, and I'm your host, Tracy Harris.

And with me to start the show this week is Claire Welner.

She's going to talk to us a little bit about her cane Harvey relief efforts.

And then later John Iacoletti, the regularly scheduled co-host, will be joining us for regular programming.

Just to do a few messages and intro notes before we start, the Atheist Experience is sponsored by Atheist Community of Austin, a Texas nonprofit educational organization that is dedicated to separation of church and state and promoting positive atheism.

You can catch us live every Sunday on YouTube or you stream and comment on current shows at the current show thread supplied for each episode at our blog at freethoughtsblog.com forward slash AXP.

John has assured me that the blog post has gone up so it should already be there and ready for comments.

You can add comments on YouTube, wait you can add comments while the show is live on YouTube but you can add them later on at the blog.

Additionally, you can write to the show at TV at atheisthifengcommunity.org or you can join the Atheist Experience official discussion group on Facebook.

If you enjoy this show, you may also enjoy our other ACA podcasts that are on-profits which airs on the first and third Wednesday nights of each month.

Links are available at the Atheist Experience website.

After the show, the casting crew go out to dinner at star of India restaurant at 2900 West Anderson Lane.

We arrive a little after 6pm and the dinner is a social event that's open to Atheist or Atheist Friendly People.

Finally, just to note that Austin Pride Festival is being rescheduled because of Hurricane Harvey.

I'm not sure if a new date has been released as of today. I did go on in Google but you might want to be sure and Google that for yourself if you're planning on attending because I found a few different dates that were listed.

We invite everyone to stop by and say hello.

Just one final note on the back cruise that's going to be coming up.

We have God Awful Movies that's going to be in town for that same weekend.

So God Awful Movies is going to be in town on Friday, September 22nd.

We also have the pre-cruise lecture that happens on the 23rd before the cruise which also happens on the 23rd so you can check our website for times and dates and locations and also to purchase tickets.
