Aron Ra in Michigan

"I cannot believe in a god who wants to be praised all the time."
Friedrich Nietzsche
"Why should I respect someone who make enormous claims on no evidence? ... I think extraordinary claims... demand extraordinary evidence. Instead of which, they say, 'Look, how about no evidence at all, and just take me on faith?' Why am I supposed to respect that? I don't respect it, I suspect it."
Christopher Hitchens

Just found out yesterday that Aron Ra is going to be in Michigan next Wednesday--specifically, in the Dragonmead Brewery in Warren, MI. Since I live in Michigan, I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to go hang out with one of my favorite atheists. I don't know how the set-up is going to work, but so far there's only going to be about fifteen people attending which means I might be able to talk to him one-on-one.
So I thought I'd ask: Are there any questions you guys would like me to ask him for you? I can't guarantee I'll be able to ask him, but I'll at least write out a list in case I get lucky.
Also, if any of you guys live in Michigan and you're free Wednesday night, I'd love to meet you there! The event isn't public but I can give you the information you need.

While I am on vacation and I'm in Michigan (southwest lower), I have a friend visiting from out of town so I'm unable to go! Considering my friend is a practicing believer (catholic...christian...I forget), he probably wouldn't feel comfortable attending an atheist get-together.
Lucky! Have fun! :)
