How is a heritage turkey different from its factory farm counterpart? What is a Blenheim apricot and why should we preserve it for posterity? How can we all enjoy local, affordable, and sustainably produced food? The answers will be apparent at the first Slow Food Nation, a celebration of American food organized by Slow Food USA for May 1-4, 2008 in San Francisco. San Francisco is poised to be at the center of a movement with global implications. Experts such as Alice Waters and Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma, are anchoring the task force planning the four-day celebration, which will embody the values of the Slow Food movement and illustrate how food and agriculture form a complex global tapestry of cultural, political, and environmental issues. In addition to education through taste, the event will offer a wide range of activities for all ages, including talks, forums, workshops, and films that will teach people the importance of preserving traditional foods and production techniques—and alert them to the broader implications of their eating choices. A marketplace of over two hundred farmers and artisans from across the country will showcase the range of traditional American foods. Attracted by the simple pleasures of the table, participants will leave having learned how American food production affects global issues, including greenhouse gas emissions, childhood obesity, famine in the developing world, and the disappearance of the small farmer. Attendees will emerge with a broad-based vision of the life-enriching benefits of a sustainable approach to food and life, as well as the tools and personal connections to implement that vision.

Ars Technica is going to be in San Francisco for WWDC and we're once again we're teaming up with our buddies at Gizmodo to say thank you to everyone's readers for being so freaking awesome! Admission is 21 and over and doors at Harlot open at 8pm, but you might want to show up a little early--our last party brought over 475 people and the place was packed. This time we've got the whole venue and both bars will be rocking for the whole three hours. Speaking of booze, we've arranged for a fatter tab this time--we ran through $1500 in about 30 minutes last time! Until the tab runs out, it's as much wine, Guinness, Newcastle, and Fat Tire you can guzzle. Be there or be square! Tell your friends! And be sure to show up a little early, the place only holds about 250-275 people! http://gizmodo.com & http://arstechnica.com/journals/apple.ars
