From Tammy Denning:
I am happy to announce that Cory will be stopping to chat with us on
his way through town on book tour. You may know him for his novels
(including Little Brother, nominated for the 2008 Hugo, Nebula,
Sunburst and Locus Awards), his blogging (boingboing.net), or his
appearances as a character on xkcd (http://xkcd.com/239/).
If these words get you excited, think about coming by!
