David Byrne will be in town Monday the 28th speaking at Town Hall. $30 gets you into the talk and a signed copy of David's Book: Bicycling Diaries
David Byrne might be best known as leader of the new-wave band Talking Heads, but he’s also an author, an artist, and an avid cycling advocate. Moving beyond merely riding bikes, he recently started to contemplate their role in urban life. Byrne, author of Bicycle Diaries, lives and rides regularly in New York, but he’s also cycled through some of the world’s busiest cities–London, Berlin, Istanbul, Buenos Aires, Paris, Belgrade, Sydney, and Manila. And all the while, he was chronicling what he saw from his “big window positioned at bike level that looks out on a dense man-made landscape.” Byrne will be joined onstage by local bicycle advocates and planners. Presented by Elliott Bay Book Company and Seattle Arts & Lectures.
I just got my tickets online, but I have to imagine this will sell out....
Anyone else planning on attending?
