Creative Commons Salon, San Francisco Oct 15

Allison sez, "Creative Commons, KALW, and Chicago Public Radio's Sound Opinions present Chicago Tribune music critic and author Greg Kot in conversation with music journalist David Downs on October 15 in San Francisco. Kot's new book, Ripped: How the Wired Generation Revolutionized Music, explores the changing face of the music industry. Downs and Kot will discuss the book, as well as how digital sharing and participatory culture are shaping how music is created and consumed. Audience questions and discussion will follow the conversation."

Announcing October's ccSalon SF! (10/15/09) (Thanks, Allison!)

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

“sharing and participatory culture are shaping how music is created and consumed.”

This sounds interesting. It is not, however, within my means to get to SF.

Will there be anything regarding the discussion of his book on the Internets?

Wow, this looks great! However, Gogol Bordello is playing the same night at the Fox in Oakland.

Decisions, decisions!
