UPCOMING GIGS

 

March 27: Mayor Art Agnos cajoled City Hall to tear down the Embarcadero Freeway in 1990 -- and was kicked out of office a year later partly because of voters' anger at the demolition. He's a key figure in Portal, and I can't wait to talk with him about my book and the waterfront at 7 p.m. at Booksmith on Haight Street. Count on a lively conversation!
