WHAT’S
happening
Michael Curtis Ford, Lauren Kessler (above),
Jewel Lansing and Sherry Lamoreaux are all
finalists of the 2004 Oregon Book Awards.
Taking place at Tsunami Books, the reading is
especially intriguing because the winners
won’t be announced until the Nov. 18 ceremo-
ny in Portland. See Thursday, Oct. 28 Calendar.
UO professor Dr. Amit Goswami (below), “The
Quantum Doctor,” gives a lecture, “A Physicist’s
Guide to Health and Healing,” at the UO Knight
Library. Goswami, of recent What the #$*! Do
We Know? acclaim, delves into the role of con-
sciousness in health as it pertains to both tra-
ditional and alternative treatments and prac-
tices. See Tuesday Calendar.
Fantasy comes to life at the Hult Center, in
Eugene Ballet’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream ,
a ballet about the explorations of loving and
being loved. Meaningless quarrels, forest
chases and magical spells create a dream-
like state in which this Shakespearean
play-turned-ballet comes alive on stage —
with a moving score by Mendelssohn and
radiant choreography by Toni Pimble.
See Saturday Calendar.
The last day to check out the Mayor’s
Art Show at the Jacobs Gallery is
