Ask Randall Munroe (xkcd) anything - hear him answer on Sept 21st in SF at an EFF fundraiser

Can't make it to SF on the 21st to meet Randall? How about New York (9-19) or Silicon Valley (9-22)?

[Read the xkcd announcement.]

You've probably seen him around reddit, but now's your chance to submit and vote on the best 10 questions to ask Randall on Monday, Sept 21st, at 111 Minna in SF (and if you can't make it, Justin.TV will be live broadcasting the event). We'll take the top 10 questions as of Sept 18th at noon Pacific. The event will be an EFF fundraiser - here's the skinny on how to attend:
Order tickets here. Starts at 7 p.m. at 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco. Admission is $30, and attendees must be 21+.

A pre-reading VIP reception will take place beginning at 6 p.m. Admission includes wine, cheese, a free copy of XKCD: The Book courtesy of Breadpig, and the chance to meet, mingle with, and have your book signed by Randall! Admission is $100.
This will be one of the stops on the tour for his upcoming book, xkcd: volume 0. The other locations scheduled presently are in New York and Silicon Valley, but will be devoid of reddit-powered Q&A. They will, however, also be fundraisers -- benefiting Room to Read in an effort to build an 'xkcd school' is Laos.

Presumably, their shelves won't be filled exclusively with copies of the above book.
