Comments on: My upcoming whirlwind lecture tour! http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/badastronomy/2009/04/01/my-upcoming-whirlwind-lecture-tour/ I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.

You are "sold out" for Sunday already! I am on the waiting list, and the Hayden listed "9 tickets available" when I ordered. At least got two of those. I am on a waiting list for Sunday with the Skeptics. Maybe they will "see the light" and get a bigger room? ;-) Will you have books for sale at any of the events? If not, I will just bring my own and try gently to coerce you to sign it for me :-) JC Dang!! You are “sold out” for Sunday already!
