This one seems to be a bit buried, but apparently I'll be speaking at The Graduate (400 W 1st Street) at 4 pm in Chico. All I know is my ride arrives soon — apparently this is one of the awkward legs of the tour where I've imposed a long drive on my hosts.
Here are the details, straight from my hosts.

Travel season begins again for me. I've already mentioned that I'm off to Winnipeg this weekend; the weekend after that is the Science Online conference. And then the whirlwind begins: I'm invading California, singlehandedly. Here's my schedule:
W, 1/20: UC Santa Barbara
Th, 1/21: UC Davis
F, 1/22…
Things have been pretty busy lately; between schoolwork, my job, and reading I've been booked up over the past few weeks, making my blogging a little less prolific than I'd normally like. Here's a quick rundown of some recent personal news, though, that either didn't fit into anything else I wrote…
I've just added some new stops on the Chris Mooney "book tour" page. Not that I'm really on "book tour" at the moment, but, er, I certainly am pretty addicted to travel. And so in the next few months I'll be hitting some new spots where I've never given talks before:

I have had a very, very good September.
I traveled across the country, and back, twice (with offset credits for my carbon). I gave fifteen speeches, to (I would guess) over a thousand people in total. At many of my stops I made new friends, or was able to get reacquainted with old ones. I even got…
You should visit the Sierra Nevada Brewery while you're in Chico. One of my longstanding favorites.

I'll second the Sierra Nevada Brewery comment. Go there for dinner. Order a beer sampler tray. It's awesome.
And see you in Sac tomorrow. Hungover from all that good beer.
OK sorry, signing in with Google gives a crappy looking name.
The drive isn't that bad. 90 minutes ish from Davis. Enjoy the world smallest mountain range (aka Sutter Buttes) on your right (if you can see it in the crappy weather).
I assume you're staying at a Downtown Sacramento hotel while you're here. If that's true, the parking at SCC is terrible; bad enough to where you might consider taking light rail to SCC.
If you're staying at, say, the Hyatt, light rail will basically be Point A to Point B. You'd be there in 15 minutes. Just make sure you get on a Meadowview-bound train!
By the way, if you are at the Hyatt, I work about 2 blocks from there...
My daughter attends the high school that's 1/2 mile from SCC. I printed out the flier for the event to give to one of her teachers. I think she might have left it at home today. Oops.

Ok, so which day of the week are you going to make it to Johannesburg, South Africa? I know it's a pretty long drive, but still.
I'm, going to miss your appearance in Australia by a month which sucks and I don't see myself travelling America in the near future.
My wife has been told though, in no uncertain terms, that we will be driving through a town called Morris if we ever get to the US of A.
They had to ask for donations for your lunch? How much do you eat?
Sorry, I just realized that gourmet babies are quite expensive.
Any details on the thursday Sierra college talk? Unless I'm looking at the wrong schedule it still says TBA.
