Landscape Futures At Penn

Not cutting out of work to watch the NCAA Tournament? Don’t even try to talk me. But you might want to cut out of work a little early to go catch a speech at Penn by BLDGBLOG’s Geoff Manaugh at Myerson Hall (34th and Walnut, roughly).

Manaugh writes he’ll be talking about the picture at right — OMG best roller coaster ever! — and other “landscape futures,” which is something far too cool for me to understand. (Also: “climate change, ruined cities, tectonic warfare, James Bond, the literal end of the earth, and a bit of Hollywood-style archaeology.”) BLDG BLOG is one of the smartest, most interesting blogs out there, and I even considered skipping some tourney games to go.

3:30 p.m., free, Meyerson Hall at Penn, probably in the basement.
