xkcd guy at MIT

[cos]

LSC is having Randall Munroe, the xkcd guy, give a talk on May 14th, 7pm in 10-250. I expect the largest off-MIT draw for an MIT talk since Neil Gaiman, and this will be in 10-250, with about half the capacity of Kresge (the Pandora guy filled 26-100 last October, which is just slightly larger than 10-250, though I'm pretty sure that was a mostly MIT crowd). $1 for MIT students, $2 for anyone else. Who's coming?

... and will coraline register a quirky new domain this time?

he read 8 years ago, and again 6 years ago (with peter david and harlan ellison) :)

and no, i don't think it's likely i'll be registering a new domain -- xkcd is neat, but it doesn't cause the same sort of reaction as neil's writing :)

Ahah, Peter David. I'm always forgetting who the third person was.

yeah, compared to harlan and neil he just doesn't have the same notoriety...
