MAX & WHIT ALEXANDER at Town Hall Seattle |
Co-presented with the TOWN HALL CENTER FOR CIVIC LIFE. The first of two Town Hall evenings this week in which Ghana plays a central role is this with the brothers Alexander, writer Max and Seattle entrepreneur/philanthropist (and Cranium game co-founder) Whit. Their adventures (and misadventures) are engagingly told in Max Alexander's Bright Lights, No City: An African Adventure on Bad Roads with a Brother and a Very Weird Business Plan (Hyperion). "A zany, surreal terror ride into the bush ... At times improbable yet always comic and wise, Alexander's tale of the brothers making a business pitch to Africans renews our understanding of service, need, and determination in the global village." - Publishers Weekly. "My boss, Bill Gates, coined the phrase 'creative capitalism' to encourage the use of market forces to address the needs of the poor. But my friend, Whit Alexander, moved creative capitalism from ideas to bold practice. Bright Lights, No City will scratch your travel bug, tickle your business brain, and touch your heart." - Patty Stonesifer. $5 tickets are available at the door starting at 6:30 p.m., or in advance via www.brownpapertickets.com (1-800-838-3006). Town Hall Seattle is at 1119 Eighth Avenue (at Seneca). Preferred seating for Town Hall members.
