Makes me tingle.

Some time ago, around the beginning of 2008, I may have mentioned I was thinking of starting a Skeptics in the Pub Brighton. But, didn't get beyond thinking about before dropping the idea and forgetting about it.


Recently a friend that I would have gone to with my fiendish sceptical conspiracy had the same idea. Which I have encouraged. At TAM London -- which was AMAZING -- we decided we were definitely going to explore the idea further.
So far we've met with local humanists, and been in touch with a fellow Sproutlorian who it turns out was involved in running SitP London at one point, the founder of SitP Leicester and even James Randi.
There will soon be gathering of conspirators in a Brighton pub for further plotting.

Last week I had the chance to have a 10 minute chat with Robin Ince. Lovely guy, he had to take to the stage before I raised the possibility of having him as guest to launch SitP Brighton. Sadly I didn't get to talk with him after his performance, as I was tired and inebriated and had to leave quickly, plus it felt inappropriate to break into his more private time post show, so to speak. which was very entertaining.
Next week I'll be going to see Tim Minchin (again) I don't expect to have the same beer, fag and chat time with him. Though it could happen...

You're seeing Tim Minchin! *Jealous*
YOu got to have a chat with him?! *plots to steal your memories*

Missed the original post by almost a week - but WOW! Good luck on these things!

My iMac died before I saw these.

The chat I was refering to was with Robin Ince.

I have chatted with Tim Minching, but that was only very briefly at the aftershow signing at the Camden Roundhouse at January 2009.

I wish I had taking the time after Robin's performance to pick up where we left off and broach the subject SiTP.

There is now a SiTP:Brighton at the http://www.carolineofbrunswick.co.uk/ tickets available online!

Whilst it may be that had I never had existed there mightn't be one. I can't say I feel I had very much real input into in the end. Still there have been two successful talks so far, and Simon Singh one sold out rapidly. Well in advance of our first event with Professor Richard Wiseman.
Still I hope I can get more involved now that not having a computer can't keep me out of the loop.
