This is for all you folks in Vancouver who happen to have some time to kill tomorrow (Friday) at lunch.
The UBC Terry Project is having James MacKinnon and Alisa Smith give a talk. These are the authors of "The 100-Mile Diet," a bestseller and buzz worthy book that uses a social experiment (can we subsist on only eating things produced within a 100 mile radius?) to look into the world of food politics, economics, and culture. Extra bonus is that James and Alisa also happen to be Vancouverites, so their story has this wonderful local angle to it.
The talk, entitled "The 100-Mile Diet" will be presented at the UBC Chan Centre Concert Hall on November 23rd at 12 noon. This will include a Q&A period, as well as an opportunity to meet the authors afterwards.Tickets are free and may be obtained at the Chan Centre Ticket office (Open today from 12noon to 5pm). Individuals may pick up a maximum of 2 tickets. Ticket availability is first come first served. Note that the ticket office will open at 11am on November 23rd for those interested in getting tickets just before the talk. We're at about 800 tickets out right now, but a variety of levels can be opened at the Chan Centre so that about 1100 seats can be accommodated. Hope to see you there!
