I swear I'm not an undercover fundie.. and if I was I sure as hell wouldn't ask to go to the Darwin exhibit with you lot.. that'd be like going into the lion's den accompanied by the lions.. Anyway I've been looking for an excuse to hit one of the Chicago museums, and this would make a pretty decent excuse.  I can offer to contribute photography of the event, recording the moment forever so it can be savored by posterity.  Or just splashed casually about the forums, as you wish. Waddaya mean? Undercover and "out" fundies are welcome! As long as they're FUN-dies. Come one, come all! Prrrrrrr....prrrrrrrr....prrrrrr! -------------- Which came first: the shimmy, or the hip?

I doubt I'll join you at the museum, but if anyone wanted to meet for lunch before that, I'd be up for it. Email me (stcynic@gmail.com) if anyone is interested - and do it tonight, since I'm leaving in the morning.

ATBC regulars RichardHuges, Kristine and J-Dog welcomed Nomad, Mrs. J-Dog and Erin too. The Darwin Exhibit tour took just a little bit less than the Beagle voyage, so the ATBCers rewarded Professors Darwin and Steve-Steve with dinner and drinks, where a smashing-good time was had by all. -------------- Come on Tough Guy, do the little dance of ID impotence you do so well. - Louis to Joe G 2/10 Gullibility is not a virtue - Quidam on Dembski's belief in the Bible Code Faith Healers & ID 7/08 UD is an Unnatural Douchemagnet. - richardthughes 7/11
