So, I normally I wouldn't ask people for this kind of help... but... I really want to go... please chip in!
Right now flights are fairly cheap for LA (around $230 - student admission to AAI is $70) so if I can get booked now, I won't need as much.
If you chip in I'll interview as many of the speakers as possible and put them up on YouTube. I'll also take as many questions in from people as possible.
If for any reason I can't make enough money to go I promise I will donate 100% of the funds to the Secular Student Alliance.
In any case, your gift would be greatly appreciated, and make this student a very happy camper. :)

Youtube won't let me comment on it no more for some reason. So, healthy girl. I need you to forward some messages to your friends for me. One named AlmightScoop-Mmm, reminds me of an icecream sunday-"But if we take this as the kind of chance that we are talking about, then we can say that the odds against a successful unguided synthesis of a batch of primed nucleotide on the primitive Earth are similar to the odds against a six coming up every time with 140 throws of a dice."-Cairns Smith

People think I pull these numbers out of my butthole? Next we have the math put together by Steven Hawkins, Jacob Bekenstein, reviewed by Roger Penrose:
"This now tells us how precise the Creator's aim must have been: namely to an accuracy of one part in 10^10^123."-Roger Penrose

Now on to your friend-no, AlmightScoop again- he says this:"Oh - and one more thing. What the fuck is entropy count? what exactly are you counting? I assume you mean entropy. Entropy can't rise only in a closed system. Entropy can rise in a closed, open or isolated system." This is wrong answer healthy girl. "The two principal laws of thermodynamics apply only to closed systems" Do read, http://pespmc.vub.ac.be/ENTRTHER.html
What is Entropy count he ask? Read on. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6TVN-3XKFV0F-9&_user=10&_rdoc=1&_fmt=&_orig=search&_sort=d&view=c&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=304993492dc6779d404ab05a8cc0da86
Before you start freakin out heathly girl. What am I suggesting? That the universe is not being pushed into expansion, but rather pulled. The universe is heading towards heat death. I don't know why we can't understand this? I believe in evolution-Theistic evolution. Do we like the many worlds interpretation? If we reject the many worlds interpretation than quantum theory is in trouble-so think carefully. What are your feelings on this issue? I wrote this a couple weeks ago on your video thingy-and now I'm backin it up:"If a self-replicating peptide emerged from a superposition-which seems to be the belief-the early Earth did not opperate at absolute zero. If some thing was there to isolate it from it's enviroment long enough-which is a long shot in itself-then the odds are one in 20^32 power. It would only work once and this would not acocount for life in any other universe."

Not propaganda, it's a little branch of science we like to call physics and math. You know what you should do with your money... give it to the Franciscan Order. They will help the suffering with it. http://www.franciscanfriars.com/gallery/Jan_2007.html
Peace healthy one,

506 DOLLARS!!! You know how many people I could clothe and feed? And you're going to give it to who? Secular what? Do they feed the poor too? "If I have taken anything for myself, then have been a theif"-Father Pro said at his execution. We could use that money because many suffer greatly; I suppose this secular whatever, alliance for fat men on motorcycles is more important to you?
