There will be a bestselling author in Wisconsin this week, talking about sustainable food. Oh yeah... and I'll be there too. So if you're in or around Madison, please drop by. Here are the events:

Thursday, Sep 24:

7pm: Michael Pollan speaks at the Kohl Center. Doors open at 6pm, event starts at 7pm. No tickets needed, event is free.

Afterwards: Anyone else up for beer at the Great Dane? Email me if you want to make plans.

Friday, Sep 25:

3:30pm: Michael Pollan panel discussion at the Wisconsin Union Theater. I don't know if tickets are needed and/or available.

5:30pm: Dinner at King of Falafel. Let me know if you plan to be there in case I need to make reservations.

7pm: I'll be speaking at Rainbow Bookstore.

9pm: More beer, if anyone's up for it. After the booksigning, we can wander over to the Dane together.

Saturday, Sep 26:

6am: Dane County Farmers Market opens. This is - in my opinion - the best farmers' market in the country.

9am: I'll be doing a booksigning at the Food for Thought Festival, which is directly adjacent to the Dane County Farmers Market.

10am: Michael Pollan speaks at the Food for Thought Festival

11am: Michael Pollan booksigning at the Food for Thought Festival

"Food" unleashed (4.00 / 2)
In Dairyland, Pollan's 'Food' book sparks debate

Bill Bruins, who has a dairy farm near Waupun and is president of the Wisconsin Farm Bureau Federation, called the book "a direct attack on the way we farm today."
...

"Pollan has narrow and elitist ideas about how you should eat and how farmers should (or shouldn't) feed a hungry and growing world," Bruins wrote on the farm bureau's Web site.

Narrow and elitist ideas? Anybody heard those words before? What's more elitist than a megamillion-dollar food corporation executive?

Jill's visit might be more exciting than she first expected.
