On Saturday night (5/15), Dawn 2010, a late-night cultural arts festival celebrating the Jewish holiday of Shavuot, will take place at the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco. The event features theatrical performances, panels, music, open-space discussion forums, and other activities from 7:30pm until after midnight in the fantastic museum space. On the program are the likes of Sandra Bernhard, Gary Shiteyngart, and Jeremiah Lockwood. I'm moderating a panel called "A Conversation About the 10 Commandments of the Future" with Ken Goldberg, Adam Werbach, and Steven Raspa. Tickets are $20 and advance purchase only. If you can make it, please say hi! Dawn Festival 2010
