Christopher Hitchens vs Tony Blair

Funny thing about timing. Having just read Hitch's memoir, he appears in the page of my newspaper as one of the debaters appearing at a public debate next month. The topic is Be it resolved that religion is a force for good in the world, with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair taking the pro position, and Christopher Hitchens weighing in on the con side. Of course, quicker than I can hit a few search buttons, the event is already sold out. There is going to be a live stream over the internet for a pretty cheap price, and an overflow live tv screen somewhere downtown to accommodate all of us who are disappointed but interested. If the location is a good one, I'm in. If not, listening at home is not a bad third option.

Anyone interested can go here for more information.


EDIT: Yay! They released a block tickets today which are behind/beside the stage where the choir sits. I am going! So happy!

The live stream with other viewers sounds like a good way to go Anne Marie! Sorry you couldn't get tix, maybe one or two may show up for resale?
