June Travel Events at Get Lost
Our favorite travel bookstore, Get Lost, has some cool events coming up this month.
June 6, WEDNESDAY>>
SACRED TOURISM How do we Americans approach spiritual places? Cultural critic Erik Davis is interested in how pilgrimage has been transformed from religious practice to personal exploration. Mountains or streams or even kitschy buildings can become sites of spiritual psychogeography. Davis, author of The Visionary State, will discuss some aspects of sacred travel - commodification, globalization and romanticization – that tend to be overlooked when we think of pilgrimages today.
June 14, THURSDAY>>
TONY WHEELER Here are the two main factors that have changed independent travel over the past 30 years: cheap airfare and Lonely Planet, the publishing company founded by Tony and Maureen Wheeler. In his new book Tony Wheeler’s Bad Lands: A Tourist on the Axis of Evil, Tony visits those thorns in George W.’s backside (Iran, Iraq and North Korea), as well as friends, or former enemies like Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan and Libya. Tonight he’ll be presenting images and discussing his travels to these unusual destinations.
June 20, WEDNESDAY>>
CHINA It seems everybody wants to go to China. The Olympics in Beijing
