    I’m mildly surprised this conference is, in fact, happening, but look at that: it’s here! (In about half an hour, in fact.) In any case, if you had any second thoughts about attending, please be enticed by our advance press, which includes:

    “A summit on the state of sexual purity.”
    The Washington City Paper

    “The Rethinking Virginity conference [is] designed to challenge not just the cultural imperative that being a virgin is better but the entire concept of virginity itself. They’ve got a difficult task ahead of them. But it’s an important one.”
    The American Prospect

    “It’s not every day you get a professor from Harvard Divinity School and the editor of Gawker’s porn site Fleshbot in a room together, but that’s exactly what’s going to happen on May 3.”
    Feministing

    Also, be enticed by our free burritos. (Thanks Boloco!)

    Sadly, Professor Griffith won’t be able to make today’s event, but we’ll soldier on. (By which, I mean that I will be sitting in for one of the leading gender and religion scholars in the world. Not intimidating at all! Nope, not even a little.) Say hi if you see me at the conference!
