  1. Minnesota, eh? Be prepare for some Q/A along these lines:

    Bishop Pedersen: You see, my wife here says she’s hav’in problems with the whole polygamy thing …
    Sister Pedersen: . .. polyAndry, Norm, it’s called polyAndry …
    Bishop Pedersen: … poly-whatever. You see, the point here is she’s hav’in problems.
    Sister Pedersen: You’re darn tootin’!
    Sister Bredesen: Yah, and don’t forget abut the whole blood atonement thingy.
    Sister Pedersen: Yah, that’s a good one too.

  2. This is such a wonderful thing the Givens are doing. Nathaniel, please keep posting about these events! I wish they’d come back to Utah. I loved The God Who Weeps and look forward to their next book.

  3. Does the “observatory” part involve astronomy? (sincere question, sorry if it’s ridiculously misunderstanding what’s going on)

  4. Oh man. Oh man, oh man, oh maaaaaan.

    I saw this and my heart jumped, and then it sank. This is literally minutes from my front door. I could bike there in no time. I’m actually looking out the window right now at that very address. But I have un-moveable activities with my parents (in town for the weekend) and my kids from roughly 9 to 4 this Saturday. Any other day, and I would clear my schedule. Oh, how I want to be there.

    I heard Terryl Givens at the BYU library many years ago (Viper on the Hearth, maybe?). It was one of the high points of my college experience. Any chance you guys want to hang out on Saturday night? Or Sunday evening?
