I went to a couple more talks today which I actually got decent audio for, so I will cover them a bit later.
After the talks for the day ended, we retired to the convention hall lobby for cocktails. They called it a “happy hour,” but the drinks were more expensive than they were in the bar. I met Noelle Dildine, AAI’s Ambassador Director who introduced Eli, Richard and I to a couple of the people working on a movie about Atheism.
We then got introduced to Rich Orman, who is the host of the very popular Dogma Free America podcast. That was pretty awesome, we’ve been hanging out for the last couple hours and he saved me from having to buy another over-priced drink by giving me a beer from his private stash (his hotel room sink is filled with ice and beer. Awesome.) We’ve been having a lot of fun talking shop and having drinks.
For the live Bill Maher screening, Viktor got Eli, Rich and I a press table in the front of the big screening room, which is really nice. Currently we’re watching Bill Maher live. Soon he’s going to have Richard Dawkins on, then they are headed over here for the award Ceremony.
More to come…
