Speaking at Ball State Tonight

Tonight I’m speaking in front of my hometown crowd at Emens Auditorium on Ball State’s campus. Typically when I speak somewhere I’m in town for a day or two, and then I go back home. But this is home! I could ride my bike to Emens! I do research at the library! If I screw this one up, I will have to move!

Actually, I’ve been looking forward to tonight for a long time. If there’s anywhere I should be talking to folks about being local and global citizens, it’s in my hometown. It should be fun.

I’d love to see you there. Here are the details.

What: “Common Threads: Searching for Community in our Globalized World”
Who: Kelsey Timmerman, author of “Where Am I Wearing?”
Where: John R. Emens Auditorium
When: 7:30 p.m. Tuesday
Event is free and opened to the public.

I’ll be spending most of the afternoon and evening on Ball State’s campus meeting with students. The Ball State Daily News has a feature on me today with a quote from Annie. (Annie is really the unsung hero of this entire story. She showed me her entire email interview today. I hope she’ll let me run the whole thing as a future post.) I also was mentioned Daily News column.

Should be an awesome day!
