I'm thrilled to hear it. Especially the part about you both having t-shirts. In all these years I still haven't met any stranger randomly in public (at a non-reddit event) wearing a reddit shirt - yet we've sold thousands... One day... (a

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

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.
