With the departure of the Dog Days and the return of American urchins to their State Indoctrination Centers, my life is likely to get a bit easier. Of course the shortening & darkening of the days is a big part of that, but since I started flying again three years ago there’s another factor: the end of vacation season and thus a lessening of the number of ridiculously-overcrowded flights. Normally, I get first class about a third of the time and it’s pretty rare that I get boarded at the last minute, but during the summer the flights are so packed and the scheduling so volatile that it’s rare I even get assigned a seat until the last minute, and I often get bumped from flights entirely (remember when I couldn’t even get to Florida at all?) So I’ve been loath to schedule any more movie screenings until the beginning of September, and now here we are! We’ve already got an event on the books for September 26th at the Reason Magazine offices in DC; that trip should be more flexible, so if you’d like to see me while I’m in the area it can probably be arranged. I must also point out that if you’re not in DC, but a lot closer to it than to Seattle, only my travel time from DC counts against your minimum; in other words, if you’re just two hours from there you could see me for the cost of a dinner date instead of having to spring for an overnight (see how helpful I am when I wanna be?) We’re also looking at screenings in Toronto and Austin, and I’m looking for an excuse to visit New Orleans at some point this autumn. So if you can help with any of those, or want to schedule an appointment, or want to help arrange a screening in a different city, just email me. And if you just want to help me with promoting the movie, my fundraiser is still open!

Not ten minutes before reading your line about state indoctrination centers, I was hearing on the news a story about the thousands of cameras used in Florida schools. Welcome to the surveillance state boys and girls. But don’t worry it’s for your own safety.
People still wonder why I oppose public “education.”
