To an Athlete Dying Young

Smart lad, to slip betimes away
From fields where glory does not stay...

...Runners whom renown outran
And the name died before the man.

Follow Bill on Twitter

Thursday 26 February 2009 is the 15th anniversary of the untimely passing of Bill Melvin Hicks. There are many tribute nights happening around the world, including London, Portland and Buenos Aires. If you you are near any of these places and would like to attend, then get full details on the official Bill Hicks website.

If you'd like to plan your own Bill Hicks night, then you'd better be quick about it, as you've only got a few weeks until the big night. If you are planning a tribute event in your city, then email the details to Steve Hicks (steve@billhicks.com), for promotion on the official site.

And wherever you are, February 26 will be Bill Hicks Day on Twitter...a day for Twitter users to post comments, quips, remembrances, musings, ponderances, jokes, and anything else Bill-related...a day devoted to the moments that remind us all of Bill, such as when we hear a news story or notice something in pop culture and wonder "What would Bill say?"...a special day to share with everyone your favourite Bill rants and truths, and to remember Bill's vision...a day to tweet Bill's quotes, your thoughts, links to Bill sites, links to sites that you think Bill would approve of or condemn...in short, a day to squeegee your tweeter!

Remember - when you tweet about Bill, add #billhicksday to the end of your tweet.
