Hitchens in Houston

Christopher Hitchens has just confirmed his intention to attend the AAA Convention in Houston on October 8th, to receive the Richard Dawkins Award for Freethinker of the Year.

 

Hitchens will also be available to sign copies of his new book "Arguably", which will be for sale at the Convention.  (As will books by Dawkins, Myers, Faircloth, Stenger, McGowan, Scott, etc, etc, etc!)

 

Richard Haynes will serve as the Master of Ceremonies throughout the Convention. 

 

Tickets are still available, but the hotel is filling up fast. This will be an event not to be missed!!

I glad to see he is well enough to travel. Peace be upon you, Hitch! I wish I could go, but can't afford it.
