It's April 13th. Some want to call it Christopher Hitchens Day. I agree with Staks Rosch: "While some atheists will be raising a glass of Johnny Walk Black in his honor, I think the time for that solute is over. Now is the time to share his wit and wisdom with others in celebration of his life. So pick up your copy of God Is Not Great or your Quotable Hitchens and share a quote or three on your social networks and with your friends and family on his birthday. Read more (examiner.com)
Then again, why not do both?
There's also a Hitch day facebook event http://www.facebook.com/events/328324723893296/
Ephraim Hardcastle asks "What would Christoper Hitchens make of his Vanity Fair memorial arrangements?"
It's an invitation-only event at Cooper Union school in New York, on April 20.

What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof.
