Sept. 16, SLAMM! With Carmine
Appice
An explosive, physical display of rock
and rhythm led by drum icon Carmine
Appice (Ozzy Osbourne, Rod Stewart,
Vanilla Fudge, Jeff Beck). Described as
"Stomp on Steroids,” Appice and four
young drummers transform buckets,
sticks, oil cans, drain pipes, and even
Dixie cups into an electrifying musical
and theatrical performance.

Lecture with Rob Gifford, author
of China Road

mile journey across China’s Route 312,
the Mother Road. Along the way, Gifford
meets many ordinary people living in
an extraordinary time; the generation
building the new China. Despite their
hope and the boon of recent years,
Gifford recognizes that China is not
stress-proof from the political, ethnic
and environmental fault lines that
will affect economic growth and social
progress in the approaching decade.
