I saw them last night. It was fucking excellent.

Ah, bugger, it's sold out. Apologies.

Can you give us the reader's digest version, Croc?

Addit: I see there are chunks of Krauss and Dawkins on Youtube.

Hmmm, that's a bit hard to do. It was more of a conversation than a lecture. They kind of went wherever the conversation took them. They spoke about Dawkins' appearance on Q & A for a while. They also took questions for a while at the end. Most of them were fairly poor questions which just lead to both men repeating a lot of what they spoke about throughout the conversation, but there was a few fireworks when a girl got up to accuse them of turning science into a religion, making various comments about "The Cult of Richard Dawkins". After they politely answered her queries, she sort of started to cry and yelled at them a bit. It was very weird. She was a Catholic, of course.

Thanks Croc. Wish I'd gotten onto it earlier, especially as I'm not going to GAC.
