SUMMARY:LOGIC Turns Two
DESCRIPTION:LOGIC A magazine about technology \nHost: Jim Fingal\, with special guests Megan Rose Dickey\, Alexis C. Madrigal\, Fred Turner\, Ellen Ullman\, and Julia Carrie Wong \nTwo years ago\, Logic launched its first issue at City Lights. They are a print magazine about technology that publishes three times per year\, with a small digital footprint. A great deal of enthusiasm has been generated by LOGIC. They continue to expand their editorial line to generate better conversations about technology and its effects on culture. \nTo celebrate the second anniversary of Logic’s launch\, join us for a conversation at City Lights about the state of technology writing. \nHow are writers telling the story of technology? And how has the way they are telling that story changed in recent years\, as a string of revelations and scandals fosters a darker mood about the role of technology in our lives? \nTo discuss these questions\, we’ll hear from friends of the magazine who write about technology in different genres: \nMegan Rose Dickey is a senior reporter at TechCrunch focused on diversity\, inclusion and social justice. She also covers the on-demand economy\, artificial intelligence and transportation. \nAlexis C. Madrigal is a staff writer at The Atlantic and the author of Powering the Dream: The History and Promise of Green Technology. \nFred Turner is the author of From Counterculture to Cyberculture: Stewart Brand\, the Whole Earth Network\, and the Rise of Digital Utopianism\, and a professor of Communication at Stanford University\, where he studies media\, technology and American cultural history. \nEllen Ullman is a computer programmer\, writer\, and novelist.  Her work has appeared in numerous publications\, including Harpers\, Wired\, The New Yprkl Times and Salon.  She is the author of a novel\, The Bug\, a New York Times Notable Book and runner-up for the PEN/Hemingway Award\, and the cult classic memoir Close to the Machine\, based on her years as a rare female computer programmer in the early years of the personal computer era. She lives in San Francisco. \nJulia Carrie Wong is a technology reporter for Guardian US\, based in San Francisco.

SUMMARY:Guy Kawasaki\, Wise Guy: Lessons from a Life
DESCRIPTION:Silicon Valley icon and bestselling author Guy Kawasaki shares the unlikely stories of his life\, and the lessons we can draw from them\, in his new book\, Wise Guy. \nGuy Kawasaki has been a fixture in the tech world since he was part of Apple’s original Macintosh team in the 1980s. He’s widely respected as a source of wisdom about entrepreneurship\, venture capital\, marketing\, and business evangelism\, which he’s shared in bestselling books such as The Art of the Start and Enchantment. But before all that\, he was just a middle-class kid in Hawaii\, a grandson of Japanese immigrants\, who loved football and got a C+ in 9th grade English. \nWise Guy\, his most personal book\, is about his surprising journey. It’s not a traditional memoir but a series of vignettes. He toyed with calling it Miso Soup for the Soul\, because these stories (like those in the Chicken Soupseries) reflect a wide range of experiences that have enlightened and inspired him. \nFor instance\, you’ll follow Kawasaki as he . . . \n* Gets his first real job in the jewelry business–which turned out to be surprisingly useful training for the tech world. \n* Disparages one of Apple’s potential partners in front of that company’s CEO\, at the sneaky instigation of Steve Jobs. \n* Blows up his Apple career with a single sentence\, after Jobs withholds a pre-release copy of the Think Different ad campaign: “That’s okay\, Steve\, I don’t trust you either.” \n* Reevaluates his self-importance after being mistaken for Jackie Chan by four young women. \n* Takes up surfing at 62–which teaches him that you can discover a new passion at any age\, but younger is easier! \nKawasaki covers everything from moral values to business skills to parenting. As he writes\, “I hope my stories help you live a more joyous\, productive\, and meaningful life. If Wise Guy succeeds at this\, then that’s the best story of all.” \n\nGuy Kawasaki is the chief evangelist Canva\, an online graphic-design tool. He’s also a brand ambassador for Mercedes-Benz and an executive fellow of the Haas School of Business at UC Berkeley. He was previously the chief evangelist of Apple and a trustee of the Wikimedia Foundation. His 14 books include The Art of the Start\, Enchantment\, Selling the Dream\, and The Art of Social Media. He has a BA from Stanford and an MBA from UCLA\, as well as an honorary doctorate from Babson College. He and his wife\, Beth\, have four children. \nThis free event will take place in Bookshop Santa Cruz. Chairs for open seating are usually set up about an hour before the event begins. If you have any ADA accommodation requests\, please e-mail info@bookshopsantacruz.com by March 3rd.

SUMMARY:Eva Hagberg Fisher with Tabitha Soren / How to Be Loved: A Memoir of Lifesaving Friendship
DESCRIPTION:Booksmith hosts Eva Hagberg Fisher for her first book\, How to Be Loved: A Memoir of Lifesaving Friendship. Eva will be in conversation with Tabitha Soren. Please join us! \n  \nEva Hagberg Fisher spent her lonely youth looking everywhere for connection: drugs\, alcohol\, therapists\, boyfriends\, girlfriends. Sometimes she found it\, but always temporarily. Then\, at age thirty\, an undiscovered mass in her brain ruptured. So did her life. A brain surgery marked only the beginning of a long journey\, and when her illness hit a critical stage\, it forced her to finally admit the long-suppressed truth: she was vulnerable\, she needed help\, and she longed to grow. She needed true friendship for the first time. \nHow to Be Loved is the story of how an isolated person’s life was ripped apart only to be gently stitched back together through friendship\, and the recovery — of many stripes — that came along the way. It explores the isolation so many of us feel despite living in an age of constant connectivity; how our ambitions sometimes pull us apart more than bring us together; and how a simple doughnut\, delivered by a caring soul\, can become the essence of what makes a life valuable. With gorgeous prose shot through with empathy\, pain\, fear\, and the secret truths inside all of us\, Eva writes about the friends who taught her to grow up and open her heart — and how the relentlessness of suffering can give rise to the greatest joy. \n  \n\n  \nEva Hagberg Fisher‘s writing has appeared in the New York Times\, T: The New York Times Style Magazine\, Tin House\, Wallpaper*\, Wired\, Guernica\, and Dwell\, among other places. She lives in New York City. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nTabitha Soren left a successful career in television in 1999 to start another one as a photographer. Her work is included in public collections such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art\, Oakland Museum of California; Transformer Station\, Cleveland\, Ohio; Pier 24 Photography\, San Francisco; New Orleans Museum of Art; Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art\, Indiana; and the Ogden Museum of Southern Art\, New Orleans. Her work has been featured in Dear Dave\, McSweeney’s\, Vanity Fair\, New York Times Magazine\, Blink\, Slate\, New York\, Sports Illustrated\, California Sunday Magazine\, and ESPN The Magazine. She is represented by the Kopeikin Gallery\, Los Angeles \n  \n\n  \nThis is a free\, all-ages event. \nRSVP is appreciated\, but not required.  \nIf you cannot attend the event but would like to request a signed copy of How to Be Loved\, order below and put your request in the comments field.

SUMMARY:YOU'RE GOING TO DIE: POETRY\, PROSE & EVERYTHING GOES...
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, March 5\, 2019\n7:30 PM  10:30 PM\nThe Lost Church (map)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nYou’re Going to Die: Poetry\, Prose & Everything Goes Open Mic at The Lost Church w/Ned Buskirk & Chelsea Coleman \nADDITIONAL MARCH SHOW ADDED BY POPULAR DEMAND!!! \n$10 in advance and at the door.\nTickets: https://sforce.co/2BDvO7q\nVenue: The Lost Church – San Francisco\nThe Lost Church is Cash Only at the door (at this time). \nDoors at 7:30pm.\nShow at 8:15pm.\nAll performances end at 10:30pm.\nSeating is first come\, first served. \nWe recommend you buy in advance to ensure being a part of the event (parlor shows often sell out)\, but you can also try purchasing at the door on the night of the show (although\, we do NOT set aside a block of tickets for door purchase) \nAges 10 and over are welcome. (Parental discretion is advised for some events).\n+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++\nYou’re Going to Die: Poetry\, Prose & Everything Goes…\nis an open mic event\, the communal offering for us to explore the conversation of death & dying\, to embrace our losses & mortality\,\nto grieve\, bereave & honor those we’ve lost & love… while all the while making room for simply being ALIVE. \nSign-ups will be the night of & the list fills up quickly\, so if you want to perform\, you’d better get there early… \nIf you’re going to perform\, keep it under 5 MINUTES. That’s right: 5 MINUTES. WE WILL TIME YOU. And we will hug you when we have to stop you [just to make it easier on you (or harder – depending on your propensity for intimacy)]. \nPoetry\, prose\, music\, dancing\, comedy\, drama\, happy\, sad\, & on & on & on… Remember: EVERYTHING GOES… so do whatever you want. \nYou don’t have to perform anything; the audience is as essential as the performers. \nPlease don’t perform anything with a setup that takes much more time than the time it takes for you to walk onstage. Honestly\, plugging things in is endlessly boring. If you need to borrow an instrument\, figure it out before you’re called to the stage. \nIMPORTANT ::: DON’T TAKE YOURSELF SO SERIOUSLY. Come and have fun. The end. Remember. Someday\, we won’t exist and neither will the English language. If you choose to take yourself seriously\, then take yourself so seriously that it’s stupid. Ridiculousness is encouraged. \nYou’re Going to Die. No. Really. You are.
