Attendees are encouraged to bring their thoughts and ideas. And be sure to bring an item for the freecycle swap table. Bring something you no longer want; walk home with something you do! And the afternoon launch will be entirely solar-powered, courtesy of Solera Energies. $5 cover, free with book purchase<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><em>First panel &#8211; 3:00 p.m. &#8211; with panelists Eduardo Sousa, Lorraine Johnson, Todd Irvine, Wayne Reeves and Keith Stewart.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Intermission &#8211; 4:00 p.m.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Second panel &#8211; 4:30 p.m. &#8211; with panelists Eva Ligeti, Graeme Stewart, Cathy Nasmith, John Lorinc and Bert Archer<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>ACT TWO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At approximately 5:45-6pm (it&#8217;s unclear exactly &#8212; we&#8217;ll leave when it feels right) I will be leading a psychogeographic walk from the Gladstone to Bathurst and College. We&#8217;ll zig and zag through neighbourhoods we think we might know well, forging a new ad hoc route that may give us a new appreciation of how the city is put together. Participants will be encouraged to share bits of information with each other on the walk, or even secret passages they may know of. It should take an hour, perhaps an hour and half. Folks (psychogeographers or not) are then welcome to join the panelists and others at the Plaza Flamingo for dinner (423 College Street, $20 Prix Fixe). Though if you don&#8217;t want to eat it&#8217;s likely you can hang out at the bar, which is where most psychogeographic walks (should) end. You can&#8217;t put a price on a good walk, so that part is free.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ACT THREE<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>The launch of GreenTOpia will end at Sneaky Dee&#8217;s, where the Wavelength music series presents &#8216;Remember Toronto&#8217;, featuring local bands The Two Koreas, The Blankket, the Hip-Hop Karaoke Crew, Etaoin Shrdlu with Jonny Dovercourt, and more, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcrecycling&#8217; the best Toronto songs of all time. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Sneaky Dee&#8217;s, 431 College St. (at Bathurst)<br \/>\n8:30 pm (doors open) Pay What You Can<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GreenTOpia: towards a sustainable Toronto, the third installment of the uTOpia series from Coach House Books, launches with the usual fanfare of panel discussions and selected entertainments on Sunday, November 11th.
