visitors of science

i just learned that two of kara's favorite science writers are coming to seattle this month. we're going to try to go to both. michael shermer will be at town hall on 9/12/2006 at 7:30pm and david quammen will be there 2 weeks later, on the 26th, same hour. both have new books out about charles darwin. it won't hurt financially, going to these things, as the price of admission for each is only $5 at the door. they'll hurt only because they're both on tuesday nights and so on wednesday at work we'll be sleepy. but - a small price to pay, no?

if you're in town, stop by! we might go early because we don't know if there'll be crazy lines. there might well be.

she's not a scientist, but we love her. janeane garofalo will also be appearing, i think at town hall, on 10/7/2006 at 8pm. her show costs real money, though, so we'll see.
