History was made as Hitchens accepted the award from Dawkins. The
entire conference was fantastic, but the moments when Hitch and
Dawkins were speaking at the banquet were absolutely phenomenal.
Hitch signed autographs for us for an hour on Saturday afternoon. He
was gracious and seemed to get energy from talking to the crowd though
he was pail and frail and had to stop on occasion to cough. (He
actually apologized for having to stop).
Note that despite anything you hear from Christians, Hitch will not
have a death-bed conversion.
