Slow Food Nation & Where I'll Be.

I've had Slow Food Nation marked on my calendar for quite some time. Even still I have little idea of what I will actually be doing this weekend. I realized at some point, many months ago, that the best way to get a clear picture of what it's all about, would be to volunteer. I had no idea where they'd use me and what I'd see and smell and taste and hear and experience, but I knew at least it would force me to get focused on something specific within the Word Fair-ness that Slow Food Nation is proving itself to seem like.

I agree with much of the negative commentary because the website is impossible to navigate and few people can say why such an event is about to happen, but I always get a better, more personalized view of a massive event when I can somehow be of service.

If nothing else, it will be an adventure.

And I, Shuna fish Lydon, love adventures. Especially ones I can sink my teeth and mind into.

This weekend, along with 59, 999 other people, you might be able to find me:

Friday August 29th, from 5-10 pm in the Taste Hall, at Fort Mason, somewhere.
Saturday August 30, 10 am - 2 pm with Slow On The Go (a catchy name, you have to agree, no?) in San Francisco's Civic Center.

On Sunday, starting @ 3:30 am I'll be making donuts, going home for a nap near 10 am and waking up to start making dessert for Leif's dinner the next day at Serpentine.

If it looks like I've disappeared from eggbeater it's because I'm juggling a number of different jobs and extremely early hours. Slow Food Nation looks to be absolutely amazing and insanely overwhelming. I hope you get to go or at least read some of the live-blogging and so forth. I'm hoping to be able to catch up with my day to day on Monday. Until then, be well, eat deliciously and rejoice in end of summer's last produce hurrah!

Every picture of those donuts is making me hungrier and hungrier. There are no good places on Maui for lovely donuts like those.
