Message-ID: <234837310709110913q743fa03dwe9b4e6423b6fdb89@mail.gmail.com> Hello everyone! The Fall-Winter Talks begin TOMORROW NIGHT, Wednesday, September 12 ("Towering Ideas" we call the series this time), and I hope you'll join us. NEW STARTING TIME FOR TALKS: 7:30 p.m. We'll be discussing the frustrating and often dysfunctional funding system for the arts tonight, with representatives of arts-funding foundations and local artists and nonprofit activists. This is co-sponsored by Independent Arts & Media, part of their two-week long Expo for the Artist and Musician. Next week is the inauguration of our new 3rd Wednesday series on "Art & Politics" when local muralist extaordinaire Mona Caron presents a one-woman show of her murals, her illustrations, and talks about the fascinating connections of art and politics that run through it all. In two weeks, on the last Wed. of September, our Nature in the City series recommences with a wide-ranging discussion of the water infrastructure of San Francisco, with a particular look at the water under our feet that we tend to have forgotten... Hope you'll join us for one or all of these. The calendar is on lineso you can follow the schedule there too.

Sept. 19 / Transit bike tour Sept. 23 Message-ID: <234837310709141210m36e141b7v85110e789c797423@mail.gmail.com> Just a quick reminder that Mona Caron's illustrated Art & Politics Talk is coming next Wednesday Sept. 19 at 7:30 at CounterPULSE. And the following Sunday, Sept. 23, leaving at 12 noon from CounterPULSE is the first of this season's always popular Bicycle History Tours, led by Chris Carlsson, this one on the theme of local transit history. The tour last from 12-4 and consists of easy riding at a relaxed pace, interspersed with stops and talks along the way, illustrating the fascinating history of how we get around this town, going back to the days when it was all sand dunes and creeks to today's de-freeway'ed bike lanes and more.... The bike tour has a requested sliding scale donation of $15-50 to help fund Shaping San Francisco as it approaches its forthcoming expansion... thanks! --cc -- www.chriscarlsson.com Fall-Winter Talks 2007-08: www.counterpulse.org/fall-winter-talks.shtml My blog: www.lipmagazine.org/ccarlsson www.shapingsf.org www.processedworld.com www.fullenjoymentbooks.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
