Skepticism Through Manga panel & meetup


“Skepticism Through Manga” at Montreal’s annual anime convention, Otakuthon, 9-10pm on Friday, Aug. 13th, presented by Sara E. Mayhew. Cost to enter the convention on Friday is $20. The convention takes place at the Palais des Congrèss de Montreal.

Attention all Montreal skeptics! Come check out my panel and then join me afterwards for a skeptic meetup; The plans are to meet after the panel (which ends at 10pm) at the Suite 701 Lounge, not far from the convention:

Please RSVP to the facebook event or by email: saramayhew@ztarr.net

I’m not too familiar with the area so if anyone has a better suggestion for a venue to meet up with afterwards, please let me know!

If you’re an anime fan too, weekend passes for the convention are also available–I’ll be holding a panel on Manga Storytelling: Writing and Illustration, on Saturday, for those interested in the process of creating manga.

I’d love the chance to get together and meet local skeptics in Montreal, so come on by! A description of my talk can be found here on my website. I look forward to seeing you there!
