Shaping SF Upcoming Shaping San Francisco Talks, Tours and more!

[Chris Carlsson]

Happy late summer to everyone,

A quick note to let you know you can now find Shaping San Francisco's new
Fall Talks series on-line<http://www.counterpulse.org/fall-winter-talks.shtml>,
and if you're on our paper calendar mailing list you'll be getting that
pretty soon too... we've merged our calendar into the regular CounterPULSE
calendar, rather than printing a whole separate one for the Talks. This
means that you'll have to peruse our schedule in the right column of the
CounterPULSE calendar, AND it also means that we'll be preparing the Talks
in 3-month segments. So this first series runs through November, and a new
calendar will appear in early November that covers December-February,
another one following in early Feb. covering March-May... so if you have
proposals for Talks you can still get them in to the 2nd and 3rd periods...

The Talks begin on Sept. 10 with *Art as Intervention*, and then starting
Sept. 17 with our Talk on the *40th anniversary of the San Francisco State
Strike* through the Sept. 24 Talk on *Global Africa* (co-sponsored by the
Global Commons Foundation) we'll be participating in a week-long series of
events looking back at 1968 <http://www.greatrehearsal.org/>...

The Fall Bicycle History Tours <http://www.shapingsf.org/biketours.html> are
also online now. The first one is Sun. Sept. 21 at noon, covering the
Ecological History of SF, the northerly half...

We are having our annual Slow Food Feast of Fools and Friends on Sun.
October 19 at CounterPULSE and tickets will be on sale shortly via
brownpapertickets.com.

On a personal note, I'll be talking about Nowtopia
<http://www.nowtopia.org>at several local venues in the next week or
so:

This weekend I'll be at the San Francisco Writing for Change
Conference<http://www.sfwritingforchange.org/>,
speaking at 11 a.m. on Saturday, on Nowtopia and the writing process that
helped bring it about. Next Thursday I'll be presenting at The Abundance
League <http://www.theabundanceleague.org/>, a charming group of folks who
are trying to shift paradigms in ways that I'm enthused about. And then on
Saturday the 23rd I'll be giving a labor history tour to some visiting
Egyptian labor reps during the day, and giving a Nowtopia reading at 7 pm at
Red Hill Books <http://www.dogearedbooks.com/redhill/> on Bernal Heights.
I'll also be making Nowtopia
appearances<http://www.processedworld.com/carlsson/nowtopia_web/calendar.shtml>in
Toronto Sept. 4-9, NYC Sept. 10-14 (at Conflux), and Troy, NY on Sept.
15...
