As I mentioned some time back, I'm going to be giving a series of talks in Europe. It occurred to me that it would be worth listing them, in case any readers of this blog were in places where I was going to speak and interested in coming. I have not checked with all of the sponsoring organizations as to which talks are open to the public and which are not, so if you do want to come, check first. Here is my schedule:

You forgot Finland?
Something of a pity, I'm ASI involved so certainly could have come to that one. But I am in the Czech Rep over the relevant time.....
Pressures of the day job and all that.
Are you planning to record and put on the web any of these talks ?
1. I gave a series of talks in Helsinki a few years ago, but they weren't public lectures. I think I have enough to keep me busy for this trip.
2. I plan to audio record the talks. I expect some of them will be video recorded and webbed, but that's not under my control.
Do you have any thoughts about the prosecution of the late Aaron Swartz?
too bad the train ticket from Rome to Milan is so expensive.
I must say I'm a bit surprised you haven't dealt with the big issue yet. (Unless you posted about it already and I missed it.)
JSTOR didn't pursue a civil suit, so the Aaron Swartz prosecution would never have taken place if we had abolished criminal law:

David, I just wanted to repeat how much I enjoyed your talk on 16 January at the National Liberal Club (I am the guy who mentioned sports and rules as a subject). I hope the rest of your trip goes well and that you are not inconvenienced by the snow.
Rgds.

Dear David,
I am the manager of the Mises Institute of Barcelone. We are absolutely disconcerted about your cancel of the dinner of next Monday (according Oliver Gil Serrano, Director of Innisfree, your Spanish publisher). We have do an huge effort to organize and convocate people in 3 days, (young people, from the Mont-Pelerin...), and we believe that a libertarian should respect accord and deals.
Please, confirm by this post that you cancel definitively the special dinner of next Monday 28th in Barcelona. O byu mail to info@institutomiss.org. A lot of interesting people wait you in Barcelona.
Eugenia España, manager
Instituto von Mises de Barcelona
Correct mail: info@institutomises.org
Re Mises institute in Barcelona:
1. The dinner is now happening.
2. I didn't "cancel" the dinner, since at the point when you posted your comment I had never agreed to do it and indeed did not know that you were expecting me to do it.
Since it turned out that the mistake was not your fault--it was due to someone else I was dealing with mistakenly telling you I would do it and never telling me he had done so--I agreed to do it after discovering the situation.
(this is for other people reading the comments--the poster already knows due to email exchanges since she posted)
I was hoping to watch or listen to the talks held in Spain. Do you know if any of them were recorded?
Re questions on recording--I've put in links for talks that I have recordings of or that other people have webbed. If anyone knows of webbed recordings of talks of mine from the trip that I don't have links to, let me know.
Great talks.
