I’m NOT pleased about the massive number of events I’ve missed over the past week while I’ve been in Los Angeles. Boston has a lot of unpleasant attributes: unrelenting winters, an excessive number of tourists, the list goes on. BUT it’s also a total hotbed for radical thought and I love that there’s always a lecture or panel or screening to attend. My inbox overflows with this stuff and half the time, even when I AM in town, I can’t go anyway. I totally take it for granted that these opportunities are at my fingertips, even though I know that they’re not as readily available in less college-y towns.
Anyway, my point is that someone should go to the following event tomorrow and report back, because it sounds fascinating and because it’s Fat Talk Free Week. And definitely, definitely send my way any similar events that you think I might be interested in. (I used to post a lot more of this stuff but haven’t been keeping up!)
