Is there a US tour?

[David Deephanphongs]

Hi, all.. Err.. I keep hearing about a US tour, but haven't found the
message that had the dates or locations[1]. If anyone's knows, could they
email me[1]? Please? I'd hate to miss it(hopefully I haven't yet..)

newsgroups is rather pathetic, and I lose a lot of mail..
[2]: This way does save typing, though... Oops.. Well, it did..

Yes indeedie, Terry Pratchett _is_ coming to 'merika this fall. Here's

BTW, I'm mailing a copy of this to David--just to be sure he gets it, as
he's said his e-mail and news access is pretty flakey.
