Some of you are great at this, so I’m turning to you for help. I’m an organizer for a conference in Nashville, TN. We hope to make this an annual event, so we need a snazzy name. 🙂 Thanks in advance! Here’s the elements to work with: Location: Nashville, mid-south, Bible Belt, or south/southern Topic: secular, athiest, free-thought, or any play on that Go! ---

These are good! We are playing with various ideas, including my two favorites: Grand Ole godFree, Y’all Con and Visible Friends Con. 🙂 Neither of those will make it–too clever by far–but they are fun. One leading contender is Nashville NonCon. What do y’all think? Nashville Nones has some supporters, too. I suggested a variation on your idea, DeepLiquid: Nashville NonCon: Unbuckling the Bible Belt. It got nixed for being too long, but people loved it. Just Unbuckle alone sounds a little rape-y, unfortunately. ---

I like what you’re doing. It’s the 21st century, things are what they used to be, but there’s still people out there for whom you might as well call it BACOOL, Burn A Cross On My Lawn. ---
