We're looking at a mid-September release date for xkcd: volume 0. Now that it's in the hands of the printers, we thought it was time to announce the xkcd book tour, a series of stops where you'll not only get a chance to meet and chat with Randall, but also help a couple great non-profits.
As publisher, breadpig's goal is to build a school in Laos with its profits from the book. But with xkcd's help, we're hosting some great fundraising events in New York (Sept 19) and Silicon Valley (Sept 22) where your ticket price helps get us even closer to that goal. Room To Read is the fantastic non-profit doing all the real work here and we're thrilled to be working with them.
Tickets are now on sale for the above events, using a variant of the Dutch auction for maximum win. Check it out. And good luck!
Our defenders of digital freedom, EFF, is handling the event in San Francisco, but there's a special geeky portion of this event that involves a reddit-powered interview. Got a question for Randall? Ask it here!

Yes, Montréal!
Yeah, another Jew here in New York. Come back another time and I'd definitely come!
