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.

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.

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

No Seattle? :(

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

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

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

Bid is in. Looking forward to this.

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.

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