quicko: tim flannery

I forgot to mention that the other day, at the Newtown Festival, I heard Tim Flannery speak.  He's minorly famous here as a writer, biologist, environmentalist, political something or other.  I went because he was speaking in a place called "The Writers' Tent" and places with the apostrophes in the right spot usually are where you'll find me.

Anyway, he read a bit from one of his books and it was pretty entertaining -- about biological research trips to various islands of the South Pacific and the various social situations that there arose.

That's all.  Just thought I'd mention it.
