Due to the huge hassle to do air travel these days, and the large impact on Randy's schedule, he is turning down most requests for public appearances that involve travel.

If you really want him at an event anyway, it is possible to arrange -- with an appropriate appearance fee.

An alternative is to watch in True for Randy's travels. If he's heading your way, feel free to send him a note (contact info) to see if he can stop by for a reasonable fee.

Samples of Randy's talks: see the transcript for the Skeptic Society 1998 Conference in May, 1998, for an entertaining look at the "dumb" things of 1997, or, for a more thoughtful presentation about Randy's unusual online publishing business model, check out Randy's address to the Online News Summit II in May 1998.
