Aussie author touring the USA. Please don't make me use Couchsurfers!

Hi folks,

I'm new to Atheist Nexus and am finding the site fascinating! I've already had some great discussions on the always-on main IRC room.

I'm doing a speaking tour for my book, "Being Gay is Disgusting" (http://goo.gl/R8DBx), commencing this Sunday and running non-stop across the USA and Canada until mid-September.

You can virtually meet me here: www.youtube.com/edwardfalzon

My problem is that funding fell through at the last minute and I'm now on a VERY strict budget. I'm going to need to couch-surf, but I'm hoping against hope that I don't have to stoop to the actual couchsurfers.org Web site.

My schedule looks a bit like this:

JUNE: LA

JULY: San Fran, Anchorage, Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, Calgary, Saskatoon, Winnipeg

AUGUST: Fargo, Rapid City, Sioux Falls, Omaha, Kansas City, Des Moines, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Indianapolis, Columbus

SEPTEMBER: Detroit, London (Ontario), possibly LA again.

If anyone can help out and feels like trying to make sense of my Australian accent, please do get in touch!

Thanks,

Edward.
