free to the public

http://www.longnow.org/10klibrary/Seminars.htm

Update: Seminars are now available for free download! Download Here. You
can also sign up for the Seminar email announcment list.

When: Usually the second Friday of each month through 02005 and 02006.

Time: Coffee bar opens at 7pm, lecture begins promptly at 7:30pm. (With
an unticketed lecture it is advisable to come early for a good seat.)

Where: Generally, the talks are held at Fort Mason, San Francsico
(Seminars will also be held in varying locations around the city as
schedules warrant. Sign up for the Seminar mailing list for monthly
details, or call The Long Now Offices.)

Donations: A $10 donation is very welcome as it costs thousands to
produce the event each month, but it is certainly NOT required for
attendance. (Cash or check accepted at the door, or you can make a
donation on our Donation Page)

Why: The purpose of the series is to build a coherent, compelling body
of ideas about long-term thinking, to help nudge civilization toward
Long Now's goal of making long-term thinking automatic and common
instead of difficult and rare.
