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.

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.

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

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

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).

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