Next year in Austin

This is good. American Atheists announces that Anthony Grayling is the keynote speaker for their 2013 national convention.

Yay! I’m going to be there too, and Anthony’s a friend.

    I saw him speak in Edinburgh on Friday. He was very funny and very very interesting.

    AC Grayling is wonderful; he’s completely approachable and, despite having a brain the size of a planet, manages to be able to talk to normal people without being even the slightest bit condescending.

    Yes! And I get to see the bat event.

    5 and 6 – absolutely. I had tea with him last year, and he’s just a wonderful fella to talk to. And the public talk he did after was brilliant.
