Got an invite to a small intimate dinner with Richard Dawkins, in California, where he is doing publicity for his new autobiography.
I can't afford to go. Well, I can, but wouldn't think it worth the air fare. It's 500 dollars for the dinner too. I guess I'll just have to nip to the chip shop.
Anybody else get an invite?
I don't blame him, I wouldn't mind a bit of that sort of cash myself. And Americans love to name-drop a celebrity.
Apparently the first one sold out, because I got a second offer, they are having a second dinner, as demand was so high for the first one.
I do like Dawkins, I'm sure he can be entertaining. But I'd feel a bit like a hooker's ''John'', paying cash for his company.
Richard Dawkins has asked me to dinner.

Jokes aside, I wish him success. Were RD to do this here, I'd probably make an evening of it. I imagine the local clergy would be represented at the table as well as his fanbase... I love fuckin' with the clergy.

I traded in Selfish Gene. Now I have to carry around Ancetor's Tale in case I run into him so he can autograph it. For free.
