Thought some around here may be interested in this event. (Also I'd love to meet people for a drink after.)

Frank Black and Carl WilsonA Conversation About Modern Music and TasteThursday, February 25, 20107:00pm - 8:30pmSomeday Lounge125 NW 5th Ave.Portland, OR Frank Black (Black Francis aka Charles Thompson) writes and plays music as a solo artist and as a member of Grand Duchy and The Pixies. Carl Wilson is the Toronto-based author of Lets Talk About Love: A Journey to the End of Taste, about class, taste, cultural conflict and Celine Dion (part of the 33 1/3 Series).
They'll have a dynamic, irreverent discussion about the changing meanings of "alternative" and "underground," the relationship of indie to mainstream, emotion in music, and how what we like defines, creates and possibly distorts who we are.
Brought to you by the Portland Center for Public Humanities.

Okay, I just ordered the Carl Wilson book... I'd been meaning to for a while since a lot of people here seem to really love it.

It took me a few minutes to realize Black wasn't meeting with an undead Beach Boy.

Great job tonight, Carl. Wanted to introduce myself afterwards, but didn't know where you'd run off to. My friend and I now want to check out your book.

I was out of town, but I'd have liked to hear Mr. Wilson speak.
