Sam Harris and Rebecca Watson!

Not in the same place at the same time, unfortunately — that could be an interesting conversation. But they're both out and about talking.

Tonight at 7pm Eastern, Sam Harris will be wasting his time debating William Lane Craig. Rumors are that you will be able to watch the debate live at that link; I'm neck-deep in work, so I don't think I'll be able to watch, but I'm sure I'll here about it.

The other fun event is next week: Rebecca Watson will be speaking on "Women's Intuition and Other Fairytales" at 7 pm Friday, April 15, at CFI-Transnational, 1310 Sweet Home Road, Amherst, NY.

Show up, tell her I sent you, and that she owes me a beer for getting you to go.
