The multi-location [Bay Area Science Festival](http://www.bayareascience.org/) started November 1 and will continue through the weekend. I have a couple of things that I want to go see, but with limited seating at one of them, I’m not sure if I should talk them up.

Is anyone else going? I’ll be leaving in a couple of hours to brave the freeways.

Haven’t heard of it, but looks interesting. I would be tied up doing my own science-related stuff though on those dates so can’t make the drive.

But, look at me still talking when there’s Science to do…

Saw Adam Savage (Mythbusters) interview [Mary Roach](http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=mary+roach&x=21&y=22). Enjoyed it. 11/4 about noonish, it’s going to be Carl Zimmer interviewing two scientists about recent reserch regarding gut bacteria. And I’m really enjoying having the time off of work.
