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.

Gnu atheism, women's rights, internationalism, universalism, and gossip
You’re speaking or attending?
Speaking. (And attending!)
I can’t go, but I would love to just for you and A.C. Grayling.
I can go! And my youngest will have started school! I live 15min from downtown! Omg, I’m way too excited now.
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.
The conference is here in Austin? I can GO to that!
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.

Oh, wow. He’ll be in Kamloops for Imagine No Religion 3 as well. So nice, I might just see him twice.
Aw dang, they keep having that the same weekend as Women in Secularism. I want to go to both!
Thomas: Have the Imagine No Religion 3 dates been made public yet?
