I live in a city with many universities and clusters of people who like to listen to lectures. The Caroline Werner Gannett series at RIT is the one I stalk. I try to get to each of the lectures because they are always brimming with ideas. Tomorrow Rebecca Solnit will be at Writers and Books first to read and then at RIT to talk about...well...I'm not really sure. Some mix I bet about her latest book regarding the communities that spring up in disasters, and her activism, and maybe Eadward Muybridge. But I'm reading (loving) Rivers and Shadows now so maybe I'm just hoping she'll talk some about his story yet I think even if she was talking about baked potatoes it would be interesting...

I will bring my sketchbook and hopefully see you there.
