TALES FROM SAN FRANCISCO'S 1915 PANAMA PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION
https://nextvillagesf.org/event/tales-from-san-franciscos-1915-panama-pacific-international-exposition/The Panama Pacific International Exposition of 1915 was San Francisco’s first world’s fair. It was a stunning achievement that took more than a decade of planning, overcoming insurmountable odds, including civic corruption, the great earthquake and fire of 1906, intense competition from rival host cities and the outbreak of World War I.The stories in Panorama are about visionaries, innovators, artists and entrepreneurs whose inspiring accomplishments lifted our City and forged its modern blueprint.This is a fascinating and eye opening look behind the scenes at how San Francisco rose from the ashes of the 1906 earthquake and fire and welcomed the world to visit. Join us for this glimpse at the world’s fair that changed the landscape of the SF Marina and showed San Franciscan’s could overcome disaster.Presenter: Author and journalist Lee Bruno, author of Panorama: Tales from San Francisco’s 1915 Pan-Pacific International Exposition. His curiousity to learn about his great grandfather’s role as one of the primary organizers for the PPIE led to his unveiling fascinating people and intersecting stories about business, economics and politics from 100 years ago. Bruno’s most recent book is Misfits, Merchants, and Mayhem: Tales from San Francisco’s Historic Waterfront, 1849-1934, winner of the 2019 Independent Book Publisher Benjamin Franklin Gold Medal for History. His reporting on business, technology and science has appeared in such publications as The Economist, The Guardian, MIT Technology Review and other publications. - 28October 28, 2020

TRAVEL TALES WITH WORLD-TRAVELER AND AUTHOR, LISA ALPINE
https://nextvillagesf.org/event/travel-tales-with-world-traveler-and-author-lisa-alpine/Exotic Life: Travel Tales of an Adventurous Woman
From wanting to push her boyfriend out of a plane over the Andes in Colombia to finding a giant dildo in a toilet tank that followed her friends through Mexico, to dancing wearing only a diamond necklace, this collection of stories in Exotic Life will inspire readers to follow the call of a wild life and leave home with their doors unlocked.
Curiosity, courage and fierce determination to remain true to her own search for truth, shines brightly and are at the core of each of Lisa Alpine’s stories. To quote Kurt Vonnegut “Strange travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God” – this could be Lisa’s motto as she dances wherever the spirit leads her.” — Maureen Wheeler, founder Lonely Planet Publications

Her award-winning, dynamically delicious stories grace the pages of many anthologies, including Travelers’ Tales Best Travel Writing.
When not wrestling with words, exploring the ecstatic realms of dance, swimming with sea creatures, or waiting for a flight, Lisa divides her time between Mill Valley, California and the Big Island of Hawai’i, where Pele’s lava licks at the edges of her writing retreat.
