Musician/producer BRIAN ENO will be giving a rare free public lecture next week at Fort Mason in San Francisco on Friday, Nov. 14, in the Herbst Pavillion. Coffee bar opens at 7pm, lecture at 8pm. Directions to Herbst Pavillion are here.

This is not a concert. Brian Eno will be speaking about "The Long Now." His talk will be the first of a monthly series of Seminars About Long-term Thinking, sponsored by The Long Now Foundation (http://www.longnow.org). Eno's talks are usually as amazing as his music...

Admission to the lectures is free (a $10 donation is welcome but NOT required). The hall holds about 700 people. For unticketed lectures like this it's a good idea to come early for a good seat.

From David Fletcher's blog:

The 2004 Fuel Economy Guide is available now on FuelEconomy.gov.  The document includes information on OEM alternative fuel vehicles.  DOE also wants to help you find the cheapest gas.
