If you live in the Bay Area and are interested in seeing Michael Pollan speak in the next couple months, you will have ample opportunity. Mr. Pollan, whose book was released this past Tuesday, seems to have scheduled the Bay Area tour several times over. I am excited that we will have so many opportunities to see him speak!
Below is a listing of his most recent schedule in the Bay Area. For the most up-to-date information, or to confirm these dates, please visit his site and official schedule. If you live outside of the Bay Area, visit his schedule as well to find events in Los Angeles, Washington state, Portland, New York, Boston, Chicago, Denver, Washington DC, and Austin.
All events are free unless otherwise noted.

Don't think you will be able to see him speak? Listen to his interview on Fresh Air with Terri Gross or read this interview by Carol Ness in the SF Chronicle. Also, fellow Bay Area Bites writer Shuna Lydon wrote a great post about Mr. Pollan's presentation at the Food Politics lecture. You can find more links in Marc's comments below (thanks Marc!).
