    Note this is at the LoDo Tattered Cover, not the one on Colfax. The store told me that their room holds over 200 and rarely goes SRO

Who attended?

    •  So much information in so little time. I'll be reading the book to digest at a slower pace. 
    •  I'm so bummed that I have to wait another week before I can buy the book! Dr. Shermer's talk was fun, and thought-provoking. Elaine and Reed and Rich - you guys are doing an amazing job overall. The Denver Skeptics has been/continues to be, one of the best things I have ever gotten involved in, great people, great conversations and great times! 
    •  This was a great event and a wonderful introduction to the skeptics community here in Denver. I look forward to building a community with everyone. 
    •  Well done. Great speaker, great location, and on national TV. I assume that he was coming here anyway, but well done in getting the message out. I disagree with several of his ideas on economics, but still a great event. 
    •  Already knew and loved Michael Shermer but the venue was good too. 
    •  It was wonderful to hear and speak with one of the giants of the skeptic community. If you missed it, it was filmed for BookTV on CSPAN!

       Great fun. I should note that most of the people there were not connected to the Denver Skeptics, and that the event was part of a book tour. Still, great stuff. Can't wait to see it on BookTV.
