Darwin Day Week Month?

Yesterday Last week Two weeks ago Sunday, Bill and I went to the annual Darwin Day event put on by Atheists and Other Freethinkers, the Humanist Association of the Greater Sacramento Area, the Anthropology and Biology Departments of Sacramento State University (Bill's alma mater), and the Sacramento Organization for Rational Thinking, among others.
There were quite a few people who came to see the founding publisher of Skeptic Magazine, Director of the Skeptic Society, and popular author, Michael Shermer. For more information about him, push the bar below.

He was quite popularNo, I'm not fawning! Well, maybe a little...

And he was gracious enough to pose for a picture with Mynga Futrell, the Co-Chair of the Darwin Day event, as well as Co-Director of The Brights' Net.And for a picture with me
Brian Malow, Earth's Premier Science Comedian was the really hilarious opening act... ...which was actually taped and posted on YouTube. It's worth watching:

The Darwin Day program was extremely interesting, but you don't have to take my word for it. For a video of the entire Darwin Day event, go here.
