Therefore, I've started it up again, and will continue to let students know that I am not a victim of Jason, even though I will be tent-living on Friday the (July) 13th! Eek!
I have updated the survey to take into account some errors from before that made thing unclear for folks, and to update the language a bit. When asked about use of religious media, the original survey talks about radio and television. I added "blogs and podcasts" to match changes in media consumption, and to perhaps better reflect what the study population would interact with. I thought about adding "mythology" to the items that asked about reading of scripture or religious texts, but as I look at the survey, I seem to have changed my mind about that. I have no idea why. (Note for students: This is why I tell you to keep track of these decisions. Definitely a "Do as I say and not as I do moment.")
I was only able to be at this site for 3 days (not including set up and tear down), so I could be home for Comfest. That undoubtedly cut into my survey time, however it saved me from the MAJOR storm that flattened a couple of sites on Thursday. I ended up getting six usable surveys. (I had to discount a seventh that was filled out by an eleven-year-old. It went into the shredder.) Partly that is because I had to leave early, and more people were arriving as I left. But I think also it just need an extroverted minion to go around and ask people to participate. A friend of mine from Marshall University brings graduate students to events such as this for research, and I am always a little envious of that.
Anyway, here are the pictures!

| This was actually a First Quarter moon, but it didn't show up that way on my phone. |
 |
| The festival was in celebration of the Summer Solstice, and this was the view on Solstice morning. I'm sure the sun is there somewhere.... |

| This beauty took up residence on my pop up. I hated to mess it up, but I made sure it was the last thing I tore down. |
