Skeptics in the Pub / Whitby room going / UnCon

It's on again tonight - see here for details.

Hallowe'en Special: the Lawyers and the Witches - David Green QC.

This talk explores the ways in which legal processes in England have dealt with apparently irrational beliefs, either when they have constituted substantive offences (eg witchcraft, blasphemy etc), or when such beliefs have had to be considered forensically as part of otherwise normal proceedings (eg child custody cases involving allegations of ritual abuse).

In other news, I'm having to drop out of Whitby. Partly 'cos of Stuff™, partly because I'm penniless but mainly 'cos that weekend is also UnConvention 2004 - which will be a lot more mind-stretching, not as bad for my health and cost me a lot less too.

Ironically, I'll miss Zodiac Mindwarp & the Love Reaction playing - the only band I wanted to see there. 2yr ago, I missed April Whitby for UnCon, and on Saturday night, went to see... Zodiac Mindwarp at the Borderline with my mate Martin. Spooky coo-inky-dink again, huh?

So: does anyone still need WGW accomodation? I was meant to be sharing sinnymaker's digs so now she needs someone else. £80 for the whole weekend. Contact me or her!
