The YC crew has graciously let us use their space for the event. I can't think of a better setting for a meet & greet with Randall then to be surrounded by Trevor's robots.

rjurney• 17 years ago

Bid is in. Looking forward to this.

kn0thing5• 17 years ago

Thank you! I don't know that in Lao, but the future students of the 'xkcd school for kids who can't do romance, sarcasm, math, and language good' no doubt appreciate it as much as I do.

edit: or maybe they're all Garfield fans. We can get them on the right path.

It's approximately "koap chai". To make it extra enthusiastic, throw a couple of "lai"s on the end.

(mr_luc once learned enough Lao to do basic public speaking in that language, for reasons that the mists of five years ago have now rendered hazy).

No Boston? Darn.

PStamatiou• 17 years ago

No Atlanta? Darn.

kn0thing5• 17 years ago

Working on that one. It's a short commute for Randall :) so when Berkman had some snags, we didn't fret.

JacobAldridge2• 17 years ago

No Brisbane, Australia. Darn.

timcederman3• 17 years ago

Cambridge/Somerville also works.

zaatar• 17 years ago

No Seattle? :(

There's a lot of us folks at Microsoft/Google/Amazon that gr0k xkcd and would love to be there :)

jrandom• 17 years ago

Agreed. If he came to Seattle, I'd show up/donate/spend money/whatnot.

modoc• 17 years ago

Second for Boston. Big tech city, lots of fans.

daniel-cussen• 17 years ago

No Santiago de Chile? Darn...or,,, obviously.

vegashacker• 17 years ago

I don't see information on the SF event. What time is it at, and where is it?

kn0thing5• 17 years ago

We're also doing a [reddit-powered interview with Randall](http://www.reddit.com/comments/9ihy8/ask_randall_munroe_xkcd...) - he'll answer the top 10 questions at the SF event (if you can't make it, we'll be live [on justin.tv](http://justin.tv/reddit).

Geek Reading starts at 7 p.m. at 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco. Please RSVP to events@eff.org. Admission is $30, and attendees must be 21+.

dfranke• 17 years ago

That's literally across the street from where I work... guess I'll be there.

Somebody's used to reddit's markdown syntax. :)

NathanKP• 17 years ago

What a fantastic announcement. Sadly I live nowhere near any of the planned stops. I'm definitely looking forward to the book though.

I have a feeling that I ran into Randall on the train in Tokyo last week. There was a guy that was wearing a shirt that said "XKCD" and I said "I like your shirt."

He just said thanks, and something about his expression made me wonder if it was him. It didn't dawn on me until after he stepped off.

I could be wrong (obviously wrong if he wasn't in Japan last week :-) ) but it sure did look like him.

Come to Amsterdam :)
