Fine Form

Madison is ushering in fall in its usual fine form. The Farmer's Market will only be here for a few more weeks, and the days are reminding us that winter is just around the corner (noooo) but for a bit we can all bask in apples and beautiful leaves and brisk air in this sweet little city. Two events that you should not miss coming up:

Food for Thought Festival 2009. Saturday morning, adjacent to the Market on MLK Blvd. Michael Pollan is the keynote speaker. Be there or be square.

Gallery Night 2009. Great art all over town. And it's all totally free. There are no excuses. I'll be dancing with the Bare Bones Dance Collective at Mound Street Yoga. (And if this isn't all convincing enough, there is free cake. You heard me right.)

I love this place. (Please just remind me of that when fall quickly fades into a relentless winter!)
