Ok yes I am going to brag. I was lucky enough to go to the 07 convention in DC. Met Dawkins and Hitchens and Harris and Dennet very briefly. The only thing though, with every single one of them I embarrassed myself like a school girl throwing their panties at Elvis.
I didn't know who Ayaan was at the time so didn't talk to her. Dennet I really stuck my foot in my mouth, didn't know who he was either. Met him at a bus stop just outside the hotel leaving the convention, bragged about my autographs and he asked me if I wanted his and I responded "Why would I want your autograph?" only to look down to see "Keynote speaker" and his name. Looked him up on the computer later and thought "DOH!".
