Proposed Schedule

We will be hitting the road leaving Spokane, Washington Monday morning August 13th 8:00 am (Pacific Time). We will be broadcasting on the road, and at key locations.

We will then make a lot of stops at cities, towns, and even individual facilities, organizations, or even homes (based on prior arrangement).

We are waiting to hear if the WorldCon 76 people in San Jose are interested in us popping by during the tour. If they are, we can stay an extra day or 2 at WorldCon. If not, then we'll proceed on down to L.A. and San Diego.

We expect to spend several days in San Diego, then we will continue on to Tucson, Arizona, New Mexico, and then begin the journey back north through Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, & Idaho, returning to Spokane around September 3rd.

We are willing to go as far as Texas if you want to see us, but only if someone makes a request. In fact, as the actual tour nears, any locations that nobody has requested a visit, we will start to trim from the route, so please do speak up to let us know if you are hoping for us to be in your town, otherwise we may drop it form the tour!
