As you may recall, Richard Dawkins will be speaking this Wednesday, October 14th, at Queens University of Charlotte, North Carolina, as part of an arrangement with Charlotte Pop Fest. A few tickets are still available for an exclusive meet-and-greet with Prof. Dawkins before his lecture. Also, if you missed CPF, you can still buy the 23-track compilation CD, with contributions by bands like The Smithereens, The Posies, The Spongetones, Jill Sobule, and CPF organizer James Deem performing the XTC classic “Dear God.”
