7:30 PM – Chandler Burr: You Or Someone Like You
Town Hall Seattle or possibly Elliott Bay Book Co.
This isn’t on Town Hall’s schedule, but it is on EBBC’s as at Town Hall, so I’m going with it. The author of three delightful nonfiction books- The Perfect Scent, The Emperor of Scent, and A Separate Creation- Chandler debuts his fiction skills with You or Someone Like You. I suggest calling Elliott Bay Book Company to confirm the location.

7:30 PM – David B. Williams: Stories in Stone
Town Hall Seattle, Great Hall
“When most of us pass through the Concourse A food court at Sea-Tac Airport, we’re likely to notice coffee cups, bagel crumbs, and frenzied fliers trying to retie their shoes outside the security checkpoint. Seattle freelance writer David B. Williams sees beyond all that: He sees Jurassic-era fossils in the concourse’s limestone walls. In fact, Williams says every stone structure has a geological story that goes back to Earth’s creation.” — Town Hall Seattle

7:30 PM – Novella Carpenter: Farm City: The Education of an Urban Farmer
Town Hall Seattle, Downstairs
Urban farming/homesteading seems to be quite the thing, right now. Several of my neighbors raise chickens, nearly everyone in the ‘hood grows vegetables, and a neighbor recently suggested we all go in together on a communal goat. Carpenter has been there and done that, so if you are considering turning your hand to gardening and/or animal husbandry, this event is for you. See you there!
