I'm out here in the Rockies, speaking Sunday night at the University of Colorado in Boulder, and then on Monday night at the Tattered Cover bookstore in Denver. More info on both talks can be found here.The Sunday talk was prominently written up in the Boulder Daily Camera (in the "Religion" section, of all places). It will be an official "Darwin Day" speech, hosted by the Boulder International Humanist Institute, and I plan to include some special remarks about what Charles Darwin means to me. So, I hope anyone in the Denver area who's interested will try to come on out for one of these talks....

Since I live in Boulder, assuming I don't forget, don't be surprised if I show up at your talk in Boulder. (On the other hand, don't be entirely surprised if I forget; on my part, I won't be surprised if you Don't Care. :-))
One thing: the Camera says your talk is at 6:30 p.m.; your tour page says 6 p.m. Can you clarify?
Pretty sure it's one of those things where people mill about, there's a reception, etc, and then I actually start talking at 6:30.
i don't recall you saying anything about what charles darwin means to you.. maybe you'll do it tomorrow.. i was a little put off by the twenty minute intro speech.. yours was good though.. i have a couple questions and ideas i'm going to email you..
Suffice it to say that, due to unexpected aspects of the format of the event, I decided to ditch my long Darwin intro. Will be publishing it to the blog shortly.
