Hi everyone!<br>Tomorrow night is the next "Towering Ideas" Fall/Winter Talk on the topic of "The Trouble with Voting"... and given the empty rituals underway municipally and nationally, what better time to discuss it? This Saturday I'm conducting the Ecological History Bicycle Tour, 12-4 from Counterpulse (1310 Mission at 9th)... and next week Wed Oct. 17 is the next installment of Art & Politics featuring Hugh D'Andrade,...
<br><br><h3>The Trouble With Voting</h3>
<h4>October 10, 7:30 pm<br> </h4>
<p> Does voting matter? Do you urge everyone around you to
vote? What kinds of power do we gain or lose by participating
in elections? What else can we do? We'll hear from
folks who believe in representative democracy, those who
propose reforms, and those who reject it outright. Michael
Med-o Whitson, Natasha Marsh (Calif League of Independent
Voters), James Rucker (Ruckus Society)... free.<br></p>
<h3>Bicycle History Tour: Ecological History<br></h3><h4>October 13: 12-4 p.m.</h4>Chris Carlsson leads another of his popular tours, skirting the landfills, creeks, sand dunes lying beneath the concrete, discussing how popular political efforts have preserved open space, pioneered community gardens, mobilized against freeways and for bicycles, and much much more... $15-50 sliding scale donation to benefit Shaping San Francisco

<h3>Art & Politics: Hugh D'Andrade</h3>
<h4>October 17: 7:30 p.m.<br> </h4>
<p>Hugh will present a slideshow of his diverse body of work,
ranging from rock posters to anti-war flyers to original
paintings, and talk about the ways his politics have informed
his art—and vice versa.... free.<br></p><br clear="all"><br>-- <br><a href="http://www.chriscarlsson.com">www.chriscarlsson.com</a><br>Fall-Winter Talks 2007-08: <a href="http://www.counterpulse.org/fall-winter-talks.shtml">
